Pinterest Trend Report
2024
Meet Pinterest Predicts: a not-yet-trending report featuring the biggest 24 trends for 2024. Because people come to Pinterest to plan, they have unique insight into what’s next. In fact, for the last 4 years, 80% of their predictions came true!
Pinterest Predicts
Pinterest partnered with BUCK for the creation of 24 hero trend visuals and campaign videos, forming the visual foundation of this year's Pinterest Predicts report and its wider campaign.
Each trend provides insight into what’s next for publishers, brands and retailers who use them for everything from informing their own trend reports to developing products, merchandising, and ad campaigns.
To create these iconic visuals we blended custom 3D and 2D illustrations, vividly bringing each trend narrative to life. Our journey took us through an array of imaginative worlds, from whimsical kitschy kitchens and volcanoes spewing chrome lava, to surreal, other-worldly landscapes and a mesmerizing spectacle of neon jellyfish.
Early Design Explorations
Each trend offered us a lot to work with. We began with sketches to imagine all the ways in which these trends could be brought to life. The trend name needed to be thoughtfully integrated into each 3D scene, as well as potentially shoppable objects from each trend. Below are a few of our favorite initial concepts.
The Campaign
Once the trend visuals were established, we then worked on three campaign videos to help promote and raise awareness of the report. The concept? ‘Don’t let the next big thing sneak up on you.’
The first campaign asset was a :15 second, mesmerizing teaser film that transports the viewer through three of the hero trend worlds: Groovy Nuptials, Hot Metals, and Be Jelly.
Invasion of the Biggies
Building upon the idea of not letting the next big trend sneak up on you, we created three Invasion of the Biggie films, where a seemingly ordinary and boring scene is transformed by an unexpected Sneaky Biggie, triggering a full trend world take over.
Flipping Biggies
Lastly, we created a quick-hitting and playful, word mark animation utilizing custom type from each trend.
