Asymmetry: This hot trend in graphic design is creating asymmetric layouts. Designers these days are breaking the rules of symmetry and the results are outstanding. In this type of compositions, the graphic design elements are not balanced on both sides of the design when we draw a non-visible line in the middle so as to segregate the composition in 2 even parts.

Stock Photos: Utilizing stock photos in graphic and web designs is dull and obvious. We live in such times when a bit of innovation can take your composition off the charts. If you have made up your mind to go for boring photos which have been used many times by other people before you use these pics then dont blame your audience if they are not impressed with the designs.

Also, they don’t even need any special software to run because they have a smaller file size and can be easily embedded anywhere. They make a better option as compared to videos and images.
