How do you blend trending elements with your style in client projects?

It's important to maintain balance. While it's great to be trendy, it is more important to be timeless (as much as possible). Keep your unique style in the foreground, it is your guiding light, just make sure to avoid tunnel vision. Stay up to date with trends, but in your own way.

I blend the trending elements with my unique approach in the following ways: 1. Clients' goals (What they want from me?) 2. Research (Core analysis of design and psychology) 3. Inspiration from trending design (choosing relevant visuals) 4. Adding my creativity (my unique style that differentiates me from others) 5. Consulting with the client (gathering their feedback) This way, I blend trending elements into my unique style.

To blend trending elements with my style in client projects, I stay informed about current design trends but ensure they don't overshadow my creative voice. I communicate with clients to understand how trends can enhance their vision while complementing my unique approach. By integrating trends subtly and selectively, I maintain originality and ensure the design remains aligned with the client's brand identity. This balance allows me to deliver designs that feel fresh and relevant, yet true to both the client's needs and my personal style.

Balancing design trends with your unique style is essential for creating compelling client work. I stay updated on trends but prioritize my creative voice by selectively integrating them. I engage in open communication with clients to ensure their vision aligns with my approach. By subtly incorporating trends, I maintain originality while meeting client expectations.

I set aside 10-15 minutes each day to check out new ideas on platforms like Dribbble. Once, I got too caught up in a popular trend, only to find the client preferred a simple, classic look. Now, I focus on mastering the basics and only use trends when they fit naturally. This way, I stay updated without letting trends take over the key aspects of the design process.
