Design Trends

As designers we have to constantly keep up to date with all of the different design trends being used in the business. Thankfully, we have many different sources that offer inspiration and ideas. Some of our favorite sites that we visit on a daily basis are used to fill our heads with creative information and to get our ideas flowing. One of the trends we have been seeing a lot of lately consists of mixing photography with illustration. If done correctly, this technique can be quite successful and exciting! I am sure if you browse around you will see many different variations of this new technique being put to use. We decided to take a stab at it. Posted below is a before and after shot using the technique.

This technique consists of using different vector elements, along with photoshop brushes. We started off with the black and white photo and ended up with a completely new design. The photo now contains a punch of energy and excitement, allowing for the model to interact with the different design elements. This is just one of the many new trends that have shown their face. We'll continue showing more...enjoy!
