Art is difficult to categorize. No matter what trend is most predominant, there are always artists or movements to come up and surprise you. Yet even in such an unpredictable field, there are ways to find overall trends and how those trends may shape the future of visual media.

This isn't just for "hanging in a museum" art. It's for advertising, social media, anything that makes you want to look twice. Getty Images, host to a massive library of stock images and photography, posted a report based on what images have the highest search rates. From that, they've listed trends that may shape our visual future.

So, take a glimpse into what 2017 might hold. Here are some visual trends that may be shaping our media in the years to come.
