Let us speaks of trends

The vocabulary definition of design can vary from person to person, and planning can also mean that important criteria can vary depending on the case of production. For that reason, design planning for us is 'to convey meaning to the public and to each individual'.

Of course, in some cases, the contact point to which the design methodology is applied can vary, but the term 'trend' means that the value can be applied differently according to the 'flow of time'. And we want to approach the trend from such a functional context.

Macroscopic trends are fairly categorical, such as national, religious, geographic, cultural and technological developments, with a significant trend in sustainability, function and elements. It is an element of immovable tendency that has not been easily changed its value, which has been accumulated and verified in a long time and a lot of time. In other words, when design planning is viewed as a macro trend, it means that the subject should be able to describe the organization or more, not individual human beings. Macroscopic trends can be concepts that are not unstable, immaterial, and unhumanised.

Micro trends are a kind of flow in which values ​​and meanings can be clearly defined as objects, elements, and at specific times and places. It can be seen as seasonal items, colors, frames, materials, media, and platform elements, which can be interpreted from an individual's point of view, and even the same elements tend to give different interpretations. In addition, micro trends are usually derived from subordinate to macro trends, and in order to come up with a plan that understands them, it is right to check the macro trends first and then look at the micro trends. It is also an element of fluid tendency.

Therefore, in design planning, it is important to identify trends of two criteria. Our meaning is conveyed to different people, which is largely relevant in the case of the masses. The propensity of the public depends on 'various factors depending on the time of the time', and the work that can understand and grasp this is the trend understanding. By understanding trends, we can deliver messages that can include more targets in design planning.
