The shell of social media shows us that strong visuals and video are attracting people to our pages. They are the frilly peacock feathers that draw us in to the main attraction, which is original content. 2013 was a great year for visuals. That will only get 'beefed up' in 2014. With that being said, here are some of the forecasted Trends in visual for 2014.
1. Women of all shapes and ages.
2. Hands on interaction: Families doing a project together, mom's cooking, dad's playing, etc.
3. Beards....Especially during 'Movember.'
4. Lens Flares: Did you see the JJ Abrams Star Trek movies?
5. Wearable Tech/machines : Watches, Google Glass, Robots, drones, androids...The Borg.
6. Sports: Fifa World Cup, the Winter Olympics, and Baseball. This will be a big Sports year.
7. Witches? That's right, Vampires have burnt up in the spotlight, witches are taking over.

8. Art: of course this is always a big part of Visuals but this year think rough, hand-drawn sketches.
9. Helping: collaborate with others on a project or charity and tell us about it!
10. Instagram Food shots: Yup, still relevant....sigh.
2014 will be populated by our senses; visual, mouthwatering, textured, adventurous, witchy sci-fi pics! I'm not saying you should copy these, just consider them a 'theme.' Give us your own perspective. Naturally, there will be more trends popping up (there always are) but these are projected to be very popular next year. Remember that when you are posting your content, it's the eye that attracts people to you. Happy posting! Boom!
