contemporary design

Contemporary design started on 1960 to present which is differ from modern art that existed on mid 1900. Contemporary means living or occurring in the present. Contemporary style is ever changing according to current world due in part to the availability of new materials and pieces.
 Elements of contemporary design:
  • Neutral, masculine color palette (more to grey, white, black, blue, brown)
  • Sleek, casual, clean lines, simplicity
  • Colorful and/or oversized art, geometric pattern
  • Clever functional storage solutions
  • Color blocking (example at the end of wood)

  Contemporary design emphasizes on producing of reusable, durable and useful items. It is also less indulgent, minimalist and less flashy. 

Design is seen in everywhere like in fashion, interior designing, 3d product design, spatial design, graphic design, display design, packaging design and etc. In fact, this whole world is a result of design by someone or something. Design has big impact on society. For example, in 90's the design for computer or tv is big in size, but just in over 10 years, everything changed. The design for the computer turned into slimmer and extraordinary and it is called laptop. The design for TV also changed because of advance in technology and so on. Telephone were connected using wires but now it is wireless. Thats how design has huge impact on society and development of nation. The designs become more simpler and minimal form than complicated one. It made the society to be borderless and connected easily among each other. The information transfer also very fast.
