Todays style / movement

[samUK]

Hi, can anyone describe what style of graphic design represents today?

Im seeing alot of retro and nouveau shapes and symbols at the moment and i am wondering what will be the next style / movement to come round?

Depends what it's in relation to, too many people just on the design style bandwagon and apply a style to irrelevant products. Things like clean typography will never go out of fashion but most graphic design styles are just gimicks and aren't solid enough to last over time.

I agree with that statement, don't get too strung up on what style is in or out, it can often dilute your creativity

I totally agree with this. Im a bit lost for inspiration at the moment. im sick of seeing the retro circles and the symetrical nouveau styled motifs. i think iv got designers block???

But i do feel that the art movements / styles are relevent. Like how fashion goes round in circles. I think its hard nowdays to generate new styles.

retro circles p*ss me off too unless they're arranged side by side to look like a pair of tits

haha....good design never goes out of fashion. You only need to look at a collection of great old design and see just how good it is still now.

The next 'style' is whatever a true designer fits to the right product - which will then inheritly be copyed....
