In today’s world we’re bombarded with clutter at every level: visually, informationally, emotionally. So how can you capture the supersaturated attention of your customers? SIMPLE. Join Creative Researcher Pam Grossman on an exploration of current visual trends that can help distinguish your message from the melee. Imagery today increasingly rivals the written word as a universal communication tool, but how do we avoid having our visual messages turn into visual clichés? As communities’ moods, values and priorities change, so does the visual language. What communicated and worked yesterday, may fail tomorrow. Less understood is the need for relevant, authentic imagery that resonates with its intended audience–a need that has never been greater as globalization raises fear of cultural hegemony for many around the world. While communications using an image can transcend cultures, there is also tremendous demand for creative and authentic imagery that reflects local culture, custom andtradition. Each year, Getty Images Creative Research team conducts agnostic studies throughout the year that draws upon exclusive research and industry-leading search technologies to identify the concepts and trends that will change the look of mass communication.
