The Digital Trends Bundle: How We Predicted What Will Be Hot in 2014 Posted: 14 Jan 2014 05:00 PM PST The biggest trends of 2014 are already selling fast. You could spend hours combing each Marketplace for new files, or you can grab our first bundle for 2014—The Digital Trends Bundle. Read on to learn more, and see our predictions about this year’s trends. What’s Included in the Bundle? The bundle includes $500+ worth of trend-setting files for just $20—our predictions of what will be hot in 2014. These sure-fire hits include Bitcoin tools and icons, forward-thinking WordPress themes, flat design elements, geometric backgrounds, beards in many styles, a call out to food trucks, and much more. Flat Design It's flat, it's one page, it's parallax and it's inAdobe Muse! Flat and clean is perfect as a showcase or portfolio. Wordplay According to fashionising.com, the upcoming trend is all about "wordplay". Come up with your own witticisms via this mockup. Hand-drawn Go beyond 3D stick men. This After Effects template is filled with timeless detail. Retro Pastels Instagram-like food shots are set for the big time this year, as is a muted pastel color scheme. Want it all? The Digital Trends Bundle is only available for 14 days, from 12pm, 15th January 2014 AEDT to 12pm, 29th January 2014 AEDT. What Do You Think the Biggest Trends Will Be in 2014? We asked around Envato HQ, and it seems that everyone has an opinion about this year’s trends: Stewart Boon (Product Manager) "I reckon floating navigation elements (eg. refinement filter, social sharing, purchase boxes, save buttons etc.) that are relevant no matter where you on a page will take off." Alex Holmes (Senior Customer Acquisition Manager) “Explainer videos, Bitcoin payment processing, flat design, mobile squeeze pages… and bearded stock photos.” Dan Michael (Elite Program Manager) “More user-centric design, less device-centric focus. I think voice control and wearable technology are going to be big for 2014.” Damir Kotorić (User Experience Designer) “Increased use of CSS animations, designs that respond to the user’s physical environment, increased popularity of one column design.” Saijo George (SEO Marketing Analyst) “Infinite scroll, drag and drop page builders, one-page websites.” Michelle Robinson (Search Product Manager) “Simple design, white space, sticky nav, long scrolling, more fonts and loads more video. PhoneGap and Elastic search!” Ben Smithett (Front End Developer) “Websites/apps designed and built with game consoles in mind. Xbox One and PS4 have serious browsers, adaptive content, the end of those ‘download our app!’ popovers on mobile websites (I really really hope).” Rebecca Chen (Marketing Analyst) “Other than what everyone else said, I think 3D printing, interactive parallax, adaptive logo design, visual blocking, video backgrounds, full-width backgrounds and fixed header bars will come into vogue. I also think that bokeh backgrounds will still be pretty popular!” Whether you love it or hate it, Damir said it best, It’s not so much the particular techniques, but more so how people implement them. The problem with trends is that designers will throw them into their websites just because everyone else is doing it… [A trend] can be a really nice touch to a site if implemented well. Do you agree? What do you think will be big in 2014?

100 Upbeat Tracks to Drive To, Powered by AudioJungle Radio Posted: 13 Jan 2014 07:56 PM PST Into cars? Then you’ll know the Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS) is on again, showing off over 500 innovative and prestigious vehicles. To celebrate, we’ve put together a monster playlist of 100 tracks that are perfect to drive to – as long as you don’t want to go slow! Inspired by Top Gear’s collection of “Seriously Cool Driving Music” (listen to it here on Grooveshark), we’ve put together the ultimate collection of music to drive to. It’s made up of 100 AudioJungle music tracks with a driving theme, featuring a wide variety of genres, and with no slow tracks included. The playlist is powered by AudioJungle Radio, which is built on HTML 5, so you can listen to it on your mobile devices while you’re on the road. It’s a great tool, and the perfect way to build your own embeddable AudioJungle playlist, featuring your favourite items, authors and collections—or even a search term. The tool was built by AudioJungle author SchwartzSound, and has been featured on Envato Extras. You can use the playlist to buy, download and tweet the tracks, or check out the complete collection here. Which track is your favourite? Header image credit: Gudella
