For some years now flat design has been a dominant style amongst graphic designers. Now, it's not that I'm longing to rebirth the hideously over-designed styles of recent times, but I do think we need a touch of 3D to contrast the current minimalist trend.
Since releasing ONYX, our first set of premium 3D patterns, I have been smitten by the practical application of 3D patterns in everyday life. Mostly I find them used on the facades of luxury retail outlets as well on the retail displays used within their doors.
Just this last week I was window shopping at a local jeweller admiring the collection of high-end wristwatches. Inside I spotted a beautiful display cabinet showing off the latest watch from Swiss watch brand, Rolex. You can see this display below:
The Inspiration:
The bright green pattern in the background really caught my attention – more so than the watch (a designer thing, perhaps?).
It struck me how the rolling metallic pattern contrasted so well with the flat display box of the watch.
And so, I decided we needed a resource just like this right here on DesignerCandies.
