Best Design Trend Spotter Ever Online


The best online place for me to find inspiration and reference on design trends in form creation, material, color and finish is: AWOL trends, http://awoltrends.com/

Industrial designer Andy Logan set up his shop AWOL in southern California and has a company website at http://awolcompany.com/

He and the CMF (Color/Material/Finish) consultant Reiko Abo Morrison at the firm has done tremendous homework to spot and articulate the trends. They detail the findings in the page for a specific trend and then support the reasoning with plentiful examples gathered from all kinds of resource.   The collection of examples they assemble can come from visual art, architecture, interior design, fashion, graphics, and of course product design.

This design trend site is my go-to place if my project comes up and I am required to do research on design styles and trends. It is highly recommended for any designer or product development team member who want to scout for latest trends related to product design.
