Exploring Design Trends: A Dive into FreePik's 2024 Trend Report Click here to see the trend report: https://www.freepik.com/visual-trends-2024 Join me as I delve into Freepik.com's 2024 trend report, highlighting key design trends predicted for the year. Freepic.com, a platform known for offering high-quality design resources for free, reached out to discuss its latest trend report, sparking my interest in exploring the upcoming trends. With full transparency, it's noted that while Freepik.com approached me for the discussion, there was no compensation involved. I begin the episode with a reflection on the reliability of future trend reports, drawing a comparison to Logo Lounge's trend reports backed by substantial data. However, skepticism arises concerning Freepik.com's ability to predict upcoming trends without disclosing their methodology or data sources. I then proceed to dissect the 15 trends outlined in Freepik.com's report, offering insights and personal reflections on each. Trends range from floral and botanical motifs to futuristic holographic shapes, 3D fonts, vibrant colour schemes, and vintage-inspired engraving styles. Some trends, like grainy gradients and glass morphism, are recognized as existing techniques while others, such as "Neo Brutalism," are met with skepticism. I encourage you to explore the report yourself and share their thoughts on the predicted trends.

His best-selling design history book, Art of Atari (https://www.amazon.com/Art-Atari-Tim-Lapetino/dp/1524101036) , has sold more than 60,000 copies and been published in English, French, German and Spanish. Tim is also the editor of Undisputed Street Fighter, a retrospective on the popular video game franchise and co-author of the design inspiration book Damn Good: Top Designers Discuss Their All-Time Favorite Projects. His work has been published in more than a dozen books and journals, including the LogoLounge series and industry classic Designing Brand Identity. Tim's written for HOW magazine, Geek Monthly, Retro Gamer, and other publications. Tim is dad to his 7-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son. In this episode, Tim explains how journalism school led him to a career as a self-taught graphic designer and how a blog post in 2012 changed the trajectory of his life and career forever. He also explains how he talked his way into all sorts of design roles he wasn't a perfect fit for but made work with a combination of tenacity and humility. We talk about the rise of geek culture, the power of pursuing strange passions, and why people pay to see others believe in themselves. Tim also provides an intimate and honest view behind the scenes of his book projects and the impact they have on his marriage and children. This is a pretty optimistic and inspirational episode and why I saved it for the end of Season 3.

                    This week we get to answer a question from a listener on how to be a better typographer, and we are so excited about it!  Featured Music: Boygenius - Bite the Hand Starflyer 59 - Wake up Early [clear-line] Inspirations, Thoughts, Opinions, & Updates What We’ve Been Up To Michelle: Has limited the number of parties she’s going to this Christmas season, but is still watching many crappy Christmas movies Has been listening to girl bands on repeat And she is going to have the wrap party for the webisode series, Newclear Family, and she got to watch part of the unedited shots. Brandi: Has also been watching Christmas movies, but she didn’t cry at the end of the Christmas Chronicles which Michelle is shocked about She did watch the "The Man Who Invented Christmas", and it perfectly describes what a creative feels like when they get knocked out of their creative zone. Be listening for this topic in a future episode. *wink wink* Also watched "Into The Spiderverse" and it's an epic work of creativity--Go see it! And she also had a great conversation with Hugh Weber, but she can’t talk about it too in depth. However, Hugh will be on some future episodes! He’s a fan of is, we’re a fan of him, it’s great. Oh! And she got her hair dyed this week! It's called Oil Slick and it's basically CMYK and amazing [clear-line] Five Ways to Be a Better Typographer  Research Books (always) LogoLounge & Other Logo Books 1000 Series Book Cover Design Poster Design Books Practice Being an Active Observer of Type Type is everywhere, look at it closely In one class Brandi had to do a project where she had to crop in closely on a single letter to study typefaces. Look at individual letters, spaces between lines, really see the details. Which you can use in the real world because once you know a font when you see it in the real world you can get a sense of what something is about based on the font it had. (i.e. Netflix original shows) Become an "Art Director" Look at and critique Kerning, Type Choices, and analyze every aspect of the type Brandi also suggests to plan out your hierarchy. Hierarchy is the order you want your viewers to see your design. Study the layout, the sizes the colors. Where the letters are, even the spaces between the letters. Pretend to be an art director if that helps so you can get better at studying where everything is in your designs Practice Combining Typefaces  Once you understand typefaces you can start combining them together. Some fonts work really well together and can help you in design, but be aware that that also means some fonts don’t work well together. Know why you are combining typefaces together. Play Games! Brandi also has some font apps that she has on her phone to practice font recognition in a fun, interactive way. What the Font Brandi said Font Book but meant "The Font Game" Arial vs. Helvetica There’s a  lot more to fonts than you may think. Type has personalities just like people do.   THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK!!!! "I started listening months before I decided to launch an independent design business and binged until I caught up. Binge listener, which at the time was only about 15 episodes only. This has been so helpful as I started my own business only a few months ago. I am constantly referring new friends to this show. I appreciate that Brandi and Michelle are always responsive to their audience. I was thrilled when I sent a question on Instagram and it was answered in an episode. I am thrilled to hear that there will be book reviews in the near future. It can be overwhelming to know what to use to continue learning because there are never ending resources out there, but this will always be one of my regular listens. Keep it up ladies."  - NaoGee on iTunes

Have you ever struggled with getting your client to go with the bold move, or try something different that is edgy or makes them uncomfortable? Have you ever wondered how other designers have been able to do this again and again? What role does personality play in your ability to obtain and keep clients? How much trust do you have to build with a client before they let feel comfortable with the visual direction you are taking their company? Episode 273. Aired Wednesday, October 31, 2018. This week I am pumped to interview the founder of Gardner Design and the Creator of Logo Lounge, Bill Gardner. Bill has been able to build trust with his clients and through his knowledge of the industry has been able to produce work that is fun and is sometimes outside of the client's comfort zone again and again. This week we will touch on some of the strengths that Bill possesses which have acted like superpowers throughout the years. Bill is an excellent speaker, he is funny, smart, creative, authentic, and warm. He is able to make you feel super special when you are talking to him one-on-one. It got me wondering if these are some of the reasons that he is able to get clients to trust him. How much does personality play in his ability to obtain and retain clients? He has an awesome personality by the way. Have you ever wondered about your soft skills? Do you think that you might need to improve them or some of them? This episode will dig into how much Bill's soft skills and personality play a part in knowing where the client is having reservation and how to meet them where they are and assure them of their safety.

Mono Line: one line, one thickness, often connected in some way Logo trends tend to have pendulum shifts that depend on cultural shifts and mindsets Mono Line can be very useful for use when you need to size it way down (say for an app, etc.) Mono line has a clean look and can be slab serif, sans serif, or script Much like any trend, mono line shouldn't be used just because it's the cool thing to do Thanks LogoLounge for this update from May of this year Designers want to go against what's getting too popular Nostalgia is very big right now Transparency & being more Personable As designers our goal is to stand out "Millennials are most responsible for bringing these trends back into play, and you see it everywhere with the resurgence of tiki bars and speakeasys, and custom products like shaving kits for men.
