“To have a respected industry professional artist take the time to look at my work was invaluable. I needed to hear that I was on the right track, and get constructive criticism on what I can do to improve my work and what market they saw my work being commercial.” – Jacqui
Meet Sarah Porter
Sarah Porter is a trend consultant, regular expert contributor to The Live Hub and makes up one half of trend consultants Porter & Brawn.
Porter & Brawn is an exciting trend insight consultancy combining over 20 years of trend forecasting and product development experience.
Porter & Brawn also specialise in art direction and styling and are able to combine their extensive knowledge of current and future trends to offer clients a service which allows you to be that one crucial step ahead of the competition when it comes to showing off a product in the best light.
Through in-depth research and analysis, they are able to provide bespoke trend direction that is relevant to the target customer – reflecting trading patterns and consumer lifestyle trends.
Sarah’s top tip for keeping on top of trends: “Look out for things that really resonate with you. If they are connected to the work you do you will enjoy the process and in turn produce something of far more value than anything forced. Keep scrap books and collections of clippings. Creating mood boards is a great way to develop multiple ideas before beginning the design process with one”.
