Birmingham City University has linked up with UBM Live, the exhibition organisers behind Interiors Birmingham, and forecasting agency Global Color Research – mix publications, to present the future trends of the interiors industry. Students were briefed with one of four trends predicted by global colour and asked to develop and create products and imagery fitting with their trend.
My tutors gave me the trend "Punch"!

Reds: luscious lipstick colours, red browns, red foils, especially classic pillar box red. Punch is completely co-ordinated tonal interiors, based on tonal variations of one colour, a strong forward trend creating maximum visual impact. This trend involves clean slick lines, simple arresting shapes, lack of detail, air-brushed perfection, pared down unromantic but maybe dangerously sexy, racy, brash, fun design, 80’s bling, graphic, kitsch, tonal, and conceptual. This is not a decorative trend but one of high impact, think red Ferrari and cocktail cherries - strong structural glossy shapes.
