The International Interior Design Association Forum is held at Translations Gallery every month. This month, we heard Keynote Speaker Cheryl Durst, the CEO of the IIDA. Her talk was about the future of design and how changes in the world and American population are affecting those changes. One of the more interesting points for us was her description of a Time of Optimism. People are craving signs of an optimistic future in every part of their lives. A symbol for this optimism is the color yellow. Yellow was a popular color for design in 2009, and it will continue for 2010. We can find this symbolic color not only in design but in film. In the movie Slumdog Millionare, yellow is strategically inserted into scenes every 20 minutes. We pay attention to these trends, and so do our artists.
