Artist Questions here. What are the in colors these days for art and design?
I’m an illustrator who wants to make it in the commercial world of the arts. I know that trends change frequently and can even be different depending upon the area you live in. I live in Southern California where styles and trends may be the exact opposite as New York for example. So, what’s the in colors and style these days so that I can incorporate a suitable theme to fit the latest rage. By theme, I mean…ocean scenes with dolphins and whales that were popular on calenders and t-shirts back in the 80’s. Perhaps that’s a bad example considering I live no where near the beach, not to mention times have changed tremendously since the 80’s. The point is, I’m looking for what’s selling these days so I can artistically capitalize on it so I can be a successful artist.
Well, I took a marketing class, and I know for sure that you can never go wrong with a little green. Green has always been a color that sells and appeals to the people. Just look at most of the products in a store. More than likely you are gonna have green, or a primary color. The primary colors will definitely do good to. But I am an artist as well, and I would say not to go with anything too bright. I know in some cases, people like things that look more old fashioned, including me. Many like myself like to make things look antique or aged to give it a more nostalgic feel.
I hope this helps!!! Good Luck!!!
