Week 2, Graphic Design Trends

My approach to research task 2, graphic design trends, was firstly to discover what the currently corporate marketing trends are? 
Marketing pin points the direction in which, we the consumers are going. ie. The post-PC era!! What trends are major organizations heavily investing in?
This is important, for it shows us exactly what trends are in favor. The marketing research below, focus is primarily targeting technology development and the social media.

Tea Tree Gully's stormwater reuse strategies

Week 1 Background

My local council area that I'll be conducting my weekly research on, will be Tea Tree Gully council. Though web research, I identified that Tea Tree Gully Council is comparatively large, providing a wide range of events and programs. 
The web site is easily accessible supplying all relevant information about who they are, what they provide and how to contact them.

History of Tea Tree Gully

Kaurna

The City of Tea Tree Gully recognises this City's considerable natural and cultural heritage, including thousands of years of traditional ownership by the Kaurna people and the more recent contributions from all who live here. We build on this heritage today by respecting and listening to each other, being receptive to new ideas and acting wisely for the current and future well-being of our community. 

Overall Tea Tree Gully has a long and interesting history, the currently council provides updated useful information with a well established city centre. They are considerable graphic design features, including an art gallery and theatre. 

This may be a challenging council for the brief...
