Research: Gen Z Design Tastes
I then felt it was important to get a better understanding of Gen Z design aesthetics and tastes so that I could apply this research to my work. Even though this article is for Interior Design it gives a broad view on general preferences and styles.
"From funky light fittings to 70s pattern-mixing, enter a room decorated by a Gen Zer and you’ll find a trove of unique items. This generation loves bringing a sense of individuality to their spaces, and the interior design trends they champion are proof of just that" (Fanbytes, 2022):
Natural Materials - From rattan furniture to woven wall art and hanging plants, natural materials are one of the most obvious design preferences for Gen Z. Afterall, "it stands to reason that the generation most concerned with climate change and sustainability would lean towards a more natural, homespun aesthetic".
Looking at incorporating this within my work would work well I think due to creating an eco-friendly brand suited to the ocean and ocean lovers.
Scandi Maxilmalism - "Also known as “Danish Pastels” or “Avant Basic”, this style trend is focused primarily on building vibrant colour onto basics: white walls and wooden floors". Examples of this are adding pastel colours that look pyschedelic or are checked and floral patterns.
Throwback Style - Gen Z again love Nostalgia, "‘ from 90s wall stickers to ‘70s conversation pits, Generation Z is bringing the throwbacks back to the forefront. Retro chairs and accessories are rife, with zany wall colours and framed vintage prints and posters adorning the walls".

Ram Dass Going Home
Ram Dass is one of the most important cultural figures from the 1960s and 70s. A pyschedelic pioneer, author of Be Here Now, beloved spiritual teacher, and outspoken advocate for death-and-dying awareness, Ram Dass is now himself approaching the end of life.
Since suffering a life-changing stroke twenty years ago, he has been living at his home on Maui and deepening his spiritual practice — which is centered on love and his idea of merging with his surroundings and all living things. Shot in a nuanced cinematic style, the film is an intimate summary of his life learning and awareness, and is ultimately a poetic meditation on life, death, and the soul’s journey home.
