Design & UIBeginner★ 145⑂ 28AI score 8/10Last updated: Apr 2, 2026
What it does
- Catalogs 10 dominant 2026 design trends (plus 2 honorable mentions) based on the Kittl × Savee trend report.
- Structures your brief (audience, brand personality, platform) then recommends 1 primary + 1–2 supporting trends instead of dumping all ten.
- Gives visual DNA, color palette, typography direction, combine/avoid pairings, and prompt keywords for Midjourney, DALL·E, Flux and Ideogram.
- Produces mood board write-ups and style-guide language ("We are… / We are NOT…").
Who it's for
- Designers and art directors shaping a brand identity or visual refresh.
- Marketers who need to translate "make it more modern" into precise style vocabulary.
- Solo creators and small brands aiming for a consistent look from AI image tools.
Examples
- Craft coffee brand → Blueprint Design + Naive Design combo, with a packaging AI prompt.
- Electronic music festival social campaign → Signal Graphics + Distorted Portrait + Surveillance layering with Instagram/TikTok prompts.
- Meditation app rebrand → Grainy Blur + Trinket Design to escape the generic "calm gradient" category look.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/ai-design/design-trends-2026 folder from the GitHub repo guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/design-trends-2026/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r clawfu-skills/skills/ai-design/design-trends-2026 ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open your terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r clawfu-skills/skills/ai-design/design-trends-2026 ~/.claude/skills/ - If the repo ships a
docs/kittl-2026-trendsimage folder, copy it along too for the visual references (the skill still works without it). - Restart Claude Code and try: "Use the design-trends-2026 skill to recommend trends for my brand identity."
