It hit me today that this year is almost at an end, and I was wondering what major styles/things have affected the design and creative industry/community for 2008?
And also, what do you think 2009 will bring? what to expect? do you know of anything that will change the way we work? emerging technologies? what should I be learning or doing to get myself ahead?
for me:
2008:
- "web 2.0" design
- project management/collaboration tools
- Pantone's GOE (not really affecting the industry yet tho)2009:
- greater demand for design on portable devices? (ie iphone)
- Mimosa? (shade of yellow - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081…)
- engaging more social networking platforms & technology (twitter etc.) for marketing etc.?
- more designers going freelance?
- death of Silverlight?

I've heard from credible sources, that 'rotation' is going to be a main component of design trends in 2009.
