The good people at iStock asked leading designers around the world for their top trends in 2014. Since we’re almost one month into this dance, I thought this infographic would be a fun refresher for the community.
Several of these trends are especially relevant in the printing industry, although I’m not sure about the comparison between 3D printing and offset in the graphic. Personally, I don’t see the connection there. I suppose time will tell how much truth these predictions contain. I wonder what we’ll think when we look back on this post in December?
I also wanted to share my own gut feeling about what I believe to be an emerging trend- Printmaking! Is it just me, or do college students seem interested in exploring the fine art aspects of print and graphics?John Brown University says printmaking courses are among their most popular, my own alma mater CSUN runs an active Printmaking club. A local printmaking studio just opened up in my area, too! Ok, maybe I’m indulging in wishful thinking…Do you have any insights or predictions?

Deborah, this was a really interesting article about some of the latest trends in graphic design. I had never considered print making to become a trend. I will have to show this to my brother and see what he thinks. He wants to study graphic design when he is in college.
