For every issue of Polished, the Trend piece allows us a chance to get a little bit creative. While we still want to showcase the specific trends, we also aim to make the layout design fit seamlessly into the issue. For this one in particular, I wanted to play around with the idea of a physical medium with the digital side. I had the Creative Director take a couple pieces of paper and just paint strokes, without any rhyme or reason. It worked out that the strokes she painted, allowed for the perfect placement of the text.
