Last Instinct

Animated typography will probably be one of the coolest trends during 2011 thanks to CSS3. Personally I love it! The Swedish TV channel 9 have a trailer for Mad Men which is probably the most beautiful trailer I have ever seen.

I discovered it a while ago, but I saw it once again just a couple of minutes ago. It filled my heart with passion once again, so I just had to post it here. Enjoy!

Color is maybe the strongest trend of this year. Strong, vivid colors is the thing to look for and be inspired by. Just try to look beyond the basic colors and look for those who are not obvious. Well, the obvious will work great too, but my point is that there are a lot of colors and color combinations that we don’t think about right away. And yeah, you have to combine them with strong contrast in any way you can think of. If you need a tool for it, Adobe Kuler is the way to go.

Here are a couple of sources for inspiration:
