Design Trend Researcher

Use before high-ambition design work when current visual culture matters. This is not a moodboard generator and not a license to imitate trends blindly.

Research breadth

When live browsing is available, sample multiple ecosystems:

• award/showcase sites and studio portfolios;
• TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, X, YouTube/Vimeo when accessible;
• creative developer demos, CodePen/GitHub, Three.js/WebGL showcases;
• product launches and editorial experiences;
• adjacent disciplines: film titles, games, architecture, retail, fashion, exhibition design, automotive UI, motion graphics.

Use authenticated social browsing only when explicitly available in an isolated browser profile. Never bypass access controls.
