This is the second warm-up exercise in my Design Fundamentals course. Students are asked to identify trends in a given category - casual dining, or business attire, or automotive, etc etc. They create a trends report and a series of mood-boards that focus on color, texture and typography. Primarily they use Spark Page and create their boards on either Spark Post or Photoshop. Instructions for using Photoshop to this end are included in the Spark briefing. Student work is embedded below.
