In the 16 page magazine that I am working on, I interviewed a Graphic Designer, Tessa Haag. One of the questions I asked was “what is one of your favorite current design trends?”
She told me that one of her current favorite design trends is how everything is more simply. You should be able to look at a logo or advertisement and instantly be able to recongize it. I agree, take Apple for example, everything is very simply, you would be able to recongize the brand by just looking at the advertisement. I like designing things simple, but I also find it fun to design things that have more complexity to them.
