Art is so vast to describe. From music, ( singer or musician ), movies, drawings, food, architectures, etc... the list is so long. Same for Graphics and Drawings arts. Graphic Design is each year evoluating, and each year is changing and is adapting to the world, and from all these influences Trends tends to appear.Some examples just to name them are : street art, craft, collage, art deco, interior designs ... However the artist must be carefull not to over trend too much his art work so that it
dont fall into abstract too much so that the viewer dont understand or distinguish the drawing.
Textural Designs
Ali Vazirian ( IRAN )
After being graduated in painting from the College of Fine Arts at the University of Tehran, Ali Vazirian designed a great variety of graphical works, from posters, books, magazines to logos. He uses textures from buildings and Mosques from his natal country Iran, to paste and trends them in a certain way to repeat the shapes and design different drawings which he later used in his posters. He then later added the calligraphic letters of the Arabian alphabets in drawing the shapes to finally accomplish his art work, representing his religion who is Islam.

Street Art
In modern times, spray paint, normal paint and markers have become the most commonly used materials. In most countries, defacing property with graffiti without the property owner's consent is considered vandalism, which is punishable by law. Sometimes graffiti is employed to communicate social and political messages. To some, it is an art form worthy of display in galleries and exhibitions; to others it is merely vandalism.
