What's trendy right now? Other than fidget spinners

What is so great about flat design anyways?

>>309440
Its not filled with shitty gradients and un-needed glares.

Flat designs are always trendy, but I honestly think it's time we introduce something new. Do I know what is next? No, but at least we are at the forefront along with fashion designers and photographers and other creative types at starting the future trends.

We've gotta start exploring past the limits of "good design" and just experimenting

rose gold, "millennial" pink, Spotify duotones, pink & blue even though Pantone says those were 2016's "color of the year", La Croix, girls wearing chokers, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, snapchat, comic book movies.

stickers/patches/pins of pineapples, unicorns, swans, flamingos. extremely unintimidating names for rappers (Lil' Yachty, Fetty Wap, Chance The Rapper)

think about this: neo vapor wave.
preparing for the incoming virtual reality paradigm.
3d abstract geometrical flat design.

kinda like paper-thin (2d) objects placed in a 3d environment

although I'm too stupid to describe it and I don't even know if these examples are the best. Maybe someone has something better.

it's more that the "color of the year" for 2016 covers at least 2015-2017. earlier if you take vaporwave A E S T H E T I C into account (vaporwave pink was a bit closer to hot pink or barbie pink, though).

also Pantone jump(s) the gun on these things and pays too much attention to gay Italians instead of music videos and social media "influencers": https://www.pantone.com/press-release-pantone-color-institute-releases-spring-2017-fashion-color-report

maybe /tv/'s waifus will be wearing lots of green when they turn legal. maybe Pantone is just a tool and not the be-all end-all of color trends. shrugging emoji goes here. (emojis are still trendy, right? bitches love emojis)

>>309930
Pink & blue is still lightning hot

throwing in asian text seems to still be a thing carried over from all the vaporwave.

also I feel like im often noticing empty space left for text, like a border on an old movie poster.

OMO flat designs leave room from manipulation and reproduction so they can later have those elements- else its simple and easy to reproduce- there is no true better thing- just time n energy(out-put)

I've noticed over the course of a couple years, that brutalism is gaining popularity. Look it up, very interesting stuff. That, and minimalism is still very very popular. But brutalism is definely "trendy" right now. Graphic Design almost follows the evolution of architecture, haven't you noticed?

These peeps were the closest, but still a bit off. I think the best name for what I see as the next "big thing" is Digital Brutalism. Just like brutalist architecture and design was about exposing raw (physical) materials, this one is about the digital process. A continuation and refinement of flat design, low poly graphics, vaporwave aesthetics. Lemme dump some inspo

Exactly it.

>>310891
it makes sense.

also could be categorized as maximalism by some.

makes sense that it would go in this direction after minimalism runs its course.

>>309440
at least initially it stripped the shit out of the current interface design trends and quickly and efficiently conveyed information by using primarily color and typography to differentiate elements of the page instead of shit like skeuomorphism and with it gradients.

nowadays, it has become a shell of its former self. stuff like flaticons breaches the minimal style that's usually associated with flat design while still calling itself flat.

>>309222
heteronormative sex

>>309222
Being a faggot, apparently.

Even more Swiss-like design. Headline fonts much larger and bolder. Grotesque typefaces more real and less idealized, no more Helvetica. Open compositions. Layers.

It's pretty popular, but I can't tell if the "Outrun" aesthetic is coming in or fading out

I call whatever this new style is vibrant minimalism. THICC fonts. Not shying away from using bold colors. But keeping everything clean and minimal. It's a gradual evolution from Material design.

Also trendy: women empowerment, black power, people of color power, refugees. Dressing black people in pastel clothes. Everything has subtle, and not so subtle, political viewpoints too.

RIP thread :(

it was a good one

This thread is so great. This was the most natural derailment I've seen in a year I swear. Everything these days is shills and trolls, ironic or otherwise, intentionally trying to slide either a person's train of thought, or a group's communication.

But this thread is something else - it has genuine content contribution according to discussion, an easily dismissed 'heard it a million times' style question that somehow got traction, and then gets derailed by backhanded comments causing a 'fuck you, I dont care' feedback loop.
