Trends of 2026

We are proud to present the winners of the 2026 Digital Design Awards. Explore the projects below. Design trends in 2026 favor futuristic cues. See Equinix's "OOH Campaign for Equinix at AWS: Invent" and Dell Technologies, Experience Design Group's "Alienware Command Center" looking ahead. Website & UX/UI Design features organic forms and classic serifs. Check out example work in Adler Branding & Marketing's "Post Real Estate Group Website" and Steers Studios' "Maple Bank Farm Website Redesign". Pay close attention to the work in Student Design. Note particularly the trend to bold display type and layered compositions, such as in Ball State University | OneCreative's "OneCreative Mentorship 2026 Pairings Posts" and Kennesaw State University's "Gossa Loose Leaf Tea Social Media". These incredible projects and students are the designers of tomorrow!
