Trends to wake, trends to sleep, Trends, trends, trends for the family.

Trends come and go, so if you are willing to jump on the trend-wagon, know that they come with a timestamp. A trend *will* expire. And eventually, they’ll come back. Maybe. Heck, sometimes they even come back stronger (I’m talking to you, monospace type).

We all tend to ostracize trends (though we might secretly like them), but being part of the current wave is not necessarily a bad thing: it all depends on the need — sometimes, the best solution for a particular product is to blend in. Like merging on a highway. Other times, the message has an extra layer of meaning if it’s associated with a moment in history, so maybe it’s appropriate to bring back a past trend.

So basically, it’s in our benefit as communicators to use trends as another design tool, rather than succumb to the heat of the moment. In a way, it’s like having a bird’s eye view of the situation, pick the right way to go, and act in consequence. Just remember, trends come, and go.

All is fair in love, war and design. There are a lot of named and unnamed rules when it comes to design. We believe that design is a result of critical thought and an idea and intention. Everything is possible, and there is, for sure, more than one way to solve a problem. Think about this: designing is to answer a question — there are as many answers as people out there. Probably you will have a different opinion about this than mine, but let’s try to find our common ground here (which btw is vital). To design it is to provide a solution to a problem, find a way to say something, to express something, lastly, to communicate something. There are multiple ways to solve a puzzle. Starting from the center, from the corners, or even building small little islands of pieces and then try to connect them within each other. Just don’t forget, parts can’t be forced together, or can, but is not ideal: fixed pieces= crappy results. Design is about using the tools you’ve acquired during your life into the big issue of solving the problem. Everything is important here. Everything you’ve learned and everything you’ve seen. Everything is a little piece in the final puzzle, and the key is knowing how to put it together. All is fair in love, war, and design. #designspiration #welovedesign #weloveillustration #worldbranddesign #mindsparklemagazine #typegoodness #logoinspirations #logohero #lovably #aiga #aigaeyeondesign #tdc #typedirectorsclub #seehowww #graphicdesign #design #designstudio #branding #lettering #type #typedesign #experimentaldesign #designmilk #tdc #artdirectorsclub #theoneclub #behance #bardoindustries #design #mindyourbardo #bardo #graphicdesign (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0BJOsUBXL9/?igshid=sf2dg4r8c5x5

The designer’s job is to translate an idea into something tangible, visual, and accessible to everyone.
