The style of Grunge is often, - the asymmetry of the blocks, the unordinary nature of their placement. The background is very rich with all sorts of textures, elements that support the style, various special brushes are used, with which the designer literally draws the background of the design. Against the background, information blocks are being created.

Futuristic style. As an option, something from the field of science fiction, you can scientific.

3D style, Vector style, Web 2.0 style

The main element of 3D style is a three-dimensional object. It can be like a photograph, with the desired angle of shooting, and an object modeled in a three-dimensional graphics program.

In vector style, the basis is a vector illustration, or a separate vector element. The property of vector graphics, in contrast to raster, or the same photo, is an underlined stylization. In this way, the drawn / drawn object has the ability to refrain from detailing unnecessary elements and emphasize important ones. Or just keep the recognizability of the subject, saving him from excessive detail and photographic similarity to the original. Vector graphics allow you to scale the created image without any loss of quality, which in turn allows you to use it not only in the web, but also, if necessary, in print production, outdoor advertising.

The basis for creating a digital collage is working with layers. In the process of creating a collage, different types of blending, blending and transparency can be applied. Despite the fact that in most cases the term "photomontage" would be more appropriate, the boundaries of these two concepts when manipulating images using computer programs are practically erased (material from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).

Geometric style is created on the spatial relationship of geometric figures, the designer creates a certain pattern of placement, on the basis of which the entire design composition is built. It can be either explicit geometric figures: a circle, a square, less often a triangle, or a simple placement of structural blocks in strictly rectangular cells, which can also be attributed to this style.
