Trends Do Not Equal Brand Solutions

trends do not always fit the needs

of the brand.

In a creative sphere as ever-changing and fast-paced as that of graphic design,

exciting new design concepts flood our social feeds every day. Every so often, we

view a design idea that seems so cutting-edge and inspiring that we can’t help but

want to try it out for ourselves. Except- one interesting design quickly becomes 10

designs that use that same concept. Before we know it, it seems like everyone has

incorporated that concept into their own work, and it all starts to blur together.

Graphic design trends gain popularity because they are visually appealing and

contemporary. When everyone takes part in a trend, it may start as a creative

inspiration. However, when fleeting trends are applied to design problems requiring

long-term solutions, designers risk the brand’s authenticity, relevance, and

homogenize the market.
