How to design for generation Z?

Graphic design is a creative process. The Website must not only be visually 'attractive', but it is also a tool that helps us to communicate effectively, efficiently and quickly without disregarding the visual experience.


The ways of designing for the new generations must be unique and experiential. We must pay undivided attention to this new generation in order to get good results.


According to a report published by the Pew Research Center, generation Z are the people who were born between 1996 and 2012, that is, those people who are now around 10 to 26 years old. According to this study, this generation has a different perspective of the world: the most important thing for them is to live unique experiences whereby they must interact continuously; the same goes for their way of learning.


If this is clear enough, you must understand that it is essential to take them into account when you design, teach or communicate so as to provide them with what they need and/or are looking for.


We can mention some traits that define them:


  • They do not conceive a world without social media. They can do almost everything on internet: make friends, have a community, play online games, buy products, pay bills, etc...
  •  Multiscreen: They can use several devices at the same time and are used to multitasking.
  • They are self-taught.
  • They are dynamic, enterprising and seek autonomy.
  • They are really interested in social affairs and voluntary work.
  • They seek flexibility and creative environments.
  • They are used to immediate responses; so impatience is one of their traits.
  • They are the generation of image. They communicate more effectively through images than through text.
  • They are information producers. They do not only share content, but also create it.
  • They are overexposed to information and lack of information.
