@eliza_crescini That is very helpful, thanks for sharing...
X (Twitter), just start following design experts there, and you'll always be up-to-date on the latest design trends✌️
Algorithms these days are quite smart. The more you follow designers and design studios, the more of the latest designs you'll come across. I've personally observed this on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
Depending on the specific design discipline, it's important to find the right people to follow, engage with them, and you'll also discover them sharing the latest trends. On Pinterest, you can explore various design boards (many of us branding designers do that). Lastly, identify the prominent design studios you want to follow; you can find them on Behance and use the 'curated' filter to see only the best work. I hope you find this helpful :)
Twitter, follow as many design experts there as you can🖖
