How do designers lean into trends? Do they ignore them or embrace them? What trends are good and which ones are bad? The very use of Banners in Jacksonville FL could be considered a trend all on its own. Trends create a tricky gulf for designers who are not sure whether to ignore them or incorporate them in some way. The most valuable piece of information is confirming that the “trend” services the brand. To determine if a particular design choice is a trend or not will require thinking on three levels: the past, present, and future.
Is it useful in the present?
The most obvious place to look is the present. Is it helping right now? Looking and staying in the present is a serious challenge that goes beyond what this article is trying to assess. But, business leaders should take an honest look at the present.
Does it have longevity for the future?
It needs to account for some kind of longevity. This seems harder than it is. When looking at a design, does it seem gimmicky? Does it seem like a breaking of tradition or just a side concept that does not actually work in practice? A good way to determine this is to see how hard it is. If it is too easy, it won’t stick because everyone will do it and flood it too fast. If it is too difficult, no one will attempt it. This means it could pay off, but it may not be a trend right away. Basically, the design needs to be challenging and different enough to make sure not everyone can do it in a few minutes.
Is it different enough from the past?
Some trends for Banners in Jacksonville FL seem peculiar, but not peculiar enough- and that leads to a problem. If it is not different enough from what happened in the past, then why bother? It may not stick as the “new norm,” and it is best worth staying away from.
Trends are hard to predict and even harder to lean into properly. Speak with the team at Graphics Garage to help get a grip on rising and diminishing trends. There may be something there to harness in an amazing way.
