For more than a decade, accessible digital tools have have provided a boost to “do-it-yourself” creativity, expanding who can create. Today, agentic AI promises to multiply our creative capacities even further, moving AI from simple tools to multifaceted teammates as we enter the “do it for you” era. 

We are living through a period of dramatic technological innovation and change. The impacts are already being felt in how we live and work today. Productivity and efficiency are on the rise. But will this lead to more space for creativity and strategic thinking, or increasing pressure to be “always-on”? Amidst these constant changes, how can we find our focus?

Monotype Imaging Inc. has released Peace and Conflict, the final chapter in its Re:Vision: Type Trends 2025 program, an ongoing initiative that examines how social, cultural, and technological shifts influence the way typography and visual communication are used. The project examines how symbols and visual language are used — and understood — during periods of global tension. Rather than taking a position or offering solutions, Peace and Conflict brings together a set of practice-led explorations that consider what design can do when conflict shapes public conversation. The focus is on observation, reflection, and the realities of working with symbols in complex, often fragile contexts.
