Trend Reports
- As discussed, you need to create your own trend. Give your trend a name. When do you predict that your trend going to happen, and where?
- Your trend must be believable. Think about how to use images, references to other designers/trends/streetstyle/celebrity etc to convince your reader that this trend is really going to happen.
- Remember to research your trend in a wider context, referencing designers, artists, other trends etc.
- Spend time reading professional trend reports, and present your own report in a similar way, using labelled images, mood boards etc. Your report may be longer than some of the brief summaries we see online, because yours will include detailed description of your trend and how it relates to different areas of design, as well as an explanation of why the trend will resonate with the audience at this time (eg in response to a current social issue or topic).

"A global recession is usually defined by economists as an extended period of below-capacity growth. City puts global potential growth at 3%, but expects growth to “reach or fall below 2%” before bottoming out in 2017." - http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/sep/09/global-recession-two-years-likely-economist-buiter
