Inspiring Trends

Inspiring Trends Designs that has potential to be influential and can be inspiring enough to try it once.

Expressive Expressions Designer and artist, Satish Moladiya, explains his inspirations and their vivid and lively expressions.

01

In the art series here, Satish explores with forms and new looks. In this style he has used flat and vibrant colours juxtaposed with bold patterns in a repetitive manner for harmony.

While talking about his inspiration, Satish explains that he finds his inspiration from the people on the streets who tend to have vivid and lively expressions. Another source of inspiration is the motif and patterns found in nature. These two aspects help Satish with his ideas. Apart from this, Satish also seeks inspiration in music and his travels.

Satish believes that the future of design lies in motion illustrations. This will be well received and explored. It will prove to be a great success as illustrations will not be limited by the frozen frame
