Gamified Graphic

The gamification of graphic design skills reflects the need for savvy imaging

Implications - It's no secret that elegant graphic design is essential for brands' survival in saturated industries. However, the demand for designers outweighs the supply of those naturally drawn to the field. Companies have gamified the process of training designers, which in turn reflects the massive potential of gamifying skills acquisition. Brands that position information about their products as niche skills or knowledge and provide gamified solutions stand to better engage consumers.
Workshop Question - What crucial aspect of your business could you gamify to democratize skills? What would that game look like?
Trend Themes
1. Gamified Skill Acquisition - Gamifying skills acquisition has the potential to better engage consumers, as exemplified by gamified graphic design training.
2. Virtual Reality Design - Virtual Reality design can offer an immersive experience for content creation as exemplified by Google Blocks' VR-based 3D model building.
3. Design Education Through Games - Games can offer an interactive and engaging approach to design education as exemplified by Method of Action's mini-games that teach practical design skills.
Industry Implications
1. Graphic Design and Visual Arts - Design-focused games collections and gamified skill acquisition in the graphic design industry can revolutionize the way designers learn and work.
2. Software and Technology - New software releases such as Art Text 3 that help with graphic design skills can revolutionize the efficiency and quality of design work in a range of industries.
3. Healthcare and Education - Chromatic eye test games can offer a playful approach to checking color recognition abilities that can be used for art education programs, as well as routine optometric care.
