Habits is a publication illustrating the practical element of my dissertation that focused on the title; How has the globalisation of the role of the trensetter and the way designers consume trends changed due to society's exposure to the web? 

 

 

The advent of the Internet has made the job of sourcing inspiration and ideas incredibly easy for designers. In response the web has become a home to a huge amount of design blogs, acting as one extensive and ever expanding digital scrapbook of visual culture. Habits is a book that tries to capture this by illustrating the browsing habits of creative individuals through the use of infographics and the opinions of leading figures in the creative industry.

 

 

Habits applies theories of the diffusion of innovation regarding the globalisation of trend setting and how designers consume trends due to societys exposure to the web. The publication practically demonstrate how the internet and the globalisation of trendsetting has effected the design process and the concept of originality in the graphic design community.
