PPG Takes Styling Directions Surface Trend Presentation to Art, Design Schools PPG Industries' (Pittsburgh) industrial coatings business recently held its Styling Directions Surface Trend presentations at three top California art and design schools to present the latest color and design trends identifed in the Trendcast Styling Directions 2015 toolkit. The purpose of the presentations is to strengthen ties with students and infuential designers who will establish future color and design trends. Three multiday events, which each used music, movies, fashion and other cultural phenomena to illustrate color and design trends, took place at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Domus Newschool of Architecture and Design in San Diego and the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. More than 200 students, in- structors and designers attended each event, representing consumer elec- tronics, appliance, apparel, industrial, graphic, interior and architecture and fashion and textiles design.
