The Great Unconformity

The Stocksy Visual Insights Report 2025 – The Great Unconformity highlights subtle cultural and aesthetic shifts shaping visual storytelling, from lo-fi “bad form” photography and offbeat angles to warm, tactile moods and old-money–inspired elegance. Beyond trends, it frames how social and economic forces—from the revival of dinner parties to friendship-centric narratives—are influencing image-making. Design-wise, the report itself embodies these ideas with bold editorial typography, cinematic full-bleed imagery, layered textures, and confident use of white space, striking a balance between high-end polish and experimental edge. It feels less like a corporate trend report and more like an art magazine—making it a strong piece of design inspiration as well as cultural insight.
