Greetings Trend Hunters! This week, we are narrowing in on 1,000,000 Facebook fans! If you're not already a member of our facebook page, check it out HERE. 4th of July & Canada Day With so many of our fans based in the USA and Canada, we wanted to create a couple celebratory top lists: 75-Star Spangled Statements and Creative Canadian Innovations. Toon Morbification is this week's PRO Trend, with a score of 9.1. The implications: Extending the appeal of classic illustrations to a more grown-up demographic, designers and artists are revamping well-known cartoon characters and giving them a sometimes frightening real-life spin. In transferring these fictional illustrations to reality, companies hope to keep intriguing the aging generation with their classic designs. Some examples: Disturbing Disney Drawings Tormented Childhood Illustrations Post-Apocalyptic Disney Art Horrifying Cartoon Caricatures Fatal Fruit Alphabets Other new PRO Trends include: 1. Geo Jewelry, 2. Survivalist Culture, 3. Tactile Tech (UPDATE), 4. Life Gaming, 5. Beyond Reading, 6. Retro Techcessories, 7. Glamorized Solitude, and more. If you're looking to better understand consumer trends, we now have 1,143 PRO Trends with 45,720 examples in our 2011 Trend Reports Enjoy! Jeremy Gutsche, Chief Trend Hunter (@jeremygutsche) P.S.
