From the expressive movement of typefaces to the nuanced sheen of gold foil, we simply can\u2019t get enough. So today we are here to share with you some of our favorite spring trends and to hear what trends you are loving right now! So let\u2019s jump right in, shall we?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo-based\u00a0+ Statement Text<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1913 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/photobased-text.png\" alt=\"photobased-text\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/photobased-text.png 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/photobased-text-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Personalizing cards with photos is far from a new concept, but the stylistic concept of designs based entirely on photos and simple, statement text is one that has taken on a new, vibrant life in recent years. These photo-based designs are appealing for so many reasons, but we love them particularly because of the complete element of personalization. Even with the same design, no two will ever look the same.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vintage Ephemera<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/vintage-ephemera.png\" alt=\"vintage ephemera\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/vintage-ephemera.png 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/vintage-ephemera-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cVintage\u201d can be, and is, used to describe a lot of eras of design and thus leads to a \u201cvintage\u201d trend resurfacing in varying ways every couple of years. Most commonly vintage refers to the 1920s through 1950s, which leaves a lot of room for variation in style. From dapper decorations, sophisticated silhouettes and flourishing florals, all sorts of vintage elements can be incorporated to create personalized and beautiful designs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geodes + Mineral-based<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1915\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mineral.png\" alt=\"mineral\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mineral.png 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mineral-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The appeal of geology and mineral-based art comes from the fluid, dynamic nature of the muse itself. The colors, patterns, and textures present in geodes and crystals varies so dramatically from one to the next, and even a subtle nuance of reflecting light or added mineral shimmer can transform a design. This allows for a wide range of designs to suit varying styles, with differing levels of subtlety and brilliance. Some pieces may exude luxury with the shimmering and vibrant gradations of marbled granite, while others may feel more modern by mirroring the symmetry of quartz crystals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Handlettering<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/handlettering.png\" alt=\"handlettering\" width=\"850\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/handlettering.png 850w, https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/handlettering-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Typography, at it\u2019s simplest form, is merely an arrangement of letters, but in design can take hundreds of forms to convey a mood, theme, and message. Through typography a designer is able to give a composition balance and style, making typography one of the most powerful tools in a designer\u2019s toolbox. Hand-lettering is well-loved for the freedom and flourish that it offers. From bold retro box letters to sweeping, swirling cursive, hand-drawn lettering allows for the ultimate in expression. Additionally, as you can see here, statement-making hand-lettering creates the perfect accompaniment to so many different styles, from classic stripes to ethereal watercolor and everything in between.<\/p>\n<p>So there you have it &#8211; these are our top 4 trends for spring 2015!
