Trend Blend 2007+ map
Inspired by the subway map for a well-known city, the map shows some of the major trends in each of these segments, as well as the key intersections between the trends. Have a browse through to see some of the more interesting trends in the landscape. And please don’t take it too seriously…

Our clients will get a glossy pinup of the map, and if there’s enough demand we’ll release a T-shirt….
Fabulous festive season to all!
