Sana’a – The Graphics and Multimedia Program at the Faculty of Computing and Information Technology at the University of Science and Technology concluded today its series of scientific seminars organized during the first semester by hosting the fifth and final seminar, titled “Trend Vision.” The seminar explored the phenomenon of trends in graphic design, their impact on designers, their relationship with the labor market and digital platforms, as well as issues related to inspiration and imitation.
The seminar featured three main themes. The first was presented by Mohammed Al-Mishrah, who discussed trends from a labor market perspective, examining the relationship between design trends and market demands, and how designers can keep pace with evolving styles and industry requirements.
In the second theme, Ashraf Al-Khatib addressed the impact of social media on designers, highlighting the role of digital platforms in spreading design trends, shaping visual preferences, and influencing designers’ choices and approaches to widely circulated creative works.
The third theme was presented by Ashraf Al-Qadi, who discussed the distinction between inspiration and imitation. He clarified the boundaries between drawing inspiration from ideas and visual trends and falling into mere replication, emphasizing the importance of preserving a designer’s creative vision and personal identity while staying current with modern developments.
