  • @DaNintendude
    @DaNintendude ปีที่แล้ว +52

    I remember being told constantly in Graphic Design classes that I need to pay attention to trends.
    We straight up had assignments asking us to talk about our favorite designers and stuff, and I was like "what favorite designers?"
    I literally didn't pay any attention to the design world at all. My professor telling us that we need to pay attention to trends always freaked me out, because I straight up just have never paid attention to that stuff. Like sure I pay attention to company rebrands, and I analyze a good logo every now and then, but I'm not in any graphic design circles. I don't follow any designers on social media. I don't do anything like that.
    I graduated almost 2 years ago now. Even before graduation, I realized that graphic design wasn't for me. I absolutely adore graphic design, but I'm just not cut out for the industry, and I absolutely cannot handle working with clients in freelance. I almost wonder if a lot of my fear and disdain came from me not caring about trends, despite being told I have to. I was one of the best designers in my program, but I just dropped the idea of doing it as a job. I've only done like 2 small design jobs since graduating.
    Graphic Design is now just a hobby for me. I do it for fun. And recently I started to wonder if it even matters that I don't pay attention to trends.
    Feels like it's only important in job interviews. To boast and sound impressive to the employer.
    Of course, it's probably still important to look at the work of other designers for inspiration. So I'm out of luck there.
    It was interesting to stumble upon this video. I've never seen any of these trend prediction videos, yet TH-cam decided to recommend this to me for some reason. It's pretty vindicating to hear someone say that trends are a load of nonsense. It affirms what I've felt all this time.

    • @JackBandicootsBunker
      @JackBandicootsBunker ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I feel you. Another reason I decided not to devote myself to the world of Graphic Design after graduating was the low pay rates. Sure now design has gotten more relevant for the consumer, but for the businesses, it’s still underpaid and undervalued.

    Tbh these videos are kinda cool to watch and see what the entitled designers think is trendy, but the truth is that every project needs its own identity. I'm not gonna put Botanica in a hardware shop for example. And what gives me the best ideas for design and what is really trending (especially among gen z and alpha) is fan art and fan design. I highly recommend looking up people redoing K-pop covers or even doing posters for movies and books. It's amazing!

    the point you make about YT's design community being super oriented on "trends" and upholding the "rules" of design and all-serving to the client really do stick out, i see this happening so often over on the subreddit r/graphic_design as well. Any sort of post that slightly deviates and drifts of from regular, corpo, bland design seems to usually have controversial comment sections with people saying stuff like "amateurish", "not design, wrong sub, its art". It's like no one actually wants to have fun in this field anymore or something.
