The story behind Instagram face filters from Visual Trends 2020

Face filter #1 – The World of Tomorrow

The main topic of the new decade will undoubtedly be Extended Reality (XR). Due to Facebook Horizon and the latest features of Oculus Quest, VR is likely going to become an integral part of our everyday lives. Our leisure time and educational experiences will be influenced by the updates with XR of the latest tech.

Even the way we communicate on both professional and personal levels change in light of AR possibilities. Get immersed into the augmented environment at work, at home, and anywhere else using our face filter “The World of Tomorrow”.

Face filter #2 – Neon Dystopia

Cyberpunk 2077 has not been released yet but neon lights and dystopian vibes have already spread far beyond the digital realm. In particular, fashion, design, and art are getting influenced by the cyberpunk aesthetic. Industry professionals use it to translate deeper meanings about the life of our modern society that sometimes resembles episodes from Black Mirror or Stranger Things.

Go back to the future with our face filter “Neon Dystopia” – a facial recognition mask with a neon halo over your head.

Face filter #3 – Brutalism and digital decay

Although the roots of Brutalism lie in architecture, today the concept and recently popularized style have seeped into both web and graphic design. The choice of a Brutalist aesthetic urges designers and viewers to break well-established rules in design and challenges them to rethink over-polished compositions.

Step outside your comfort zone with our brutalist face filler that includes optical distortion and glitches.

Face filter #4 – Organic motion graphics

In juxtaposition to the futuristic cyberpunk aesthetic are fluid shapes and soothing movements that gather inspiration from organic forms and nature. The trend focuses on 3D animation of new elements that interact with gravity. The result is hypnotizing and mysterious animation that attracts the eye.

Captivate your Instagram audience with smooth animation using our “Organic motion graphics” face filter.
