Trends and Designers

Agideas had a variety of trends happening but one major trend that seemed to be pushed a lot was collaboration. Many different Designers worked with other designers and not just from the same industry. There were Graphic designers working with photographers, industrial designers, fashion designer etc.

Having the term collaboration helped with networking, getting contacts and finding out new outcomes and experimenting with other sources to come up with fresh, new and original concepts. Also working with other people can help with inspiration and finding out if you have skills in other areas and a part of the trend Collaboration also meant to push yourself further and to find new opportunities.

The National Poster was designed by Marian Bantjes a known designer that creates the detailed and complex patterns. The National Poster was a collaboration between her and the band The National. Marian created this poster By using Black, Flourescent pink and Glow-in-the-dark inks, So the poster that could look one way in daylight, another way in the dark.

I find her work very elegant and unique the way she uses lines and shapes to create such different patterns automatically makes eye follow the pattern right to the end.
