Seems like every time I think I've caught up with the latest cool cutting edge style, everything is changed again.

Several ways to combat this:
- Don't keep up with trends, good design is evergreen
- Set trends, don't follow them
- Discover new trends by finding them, somewhere, somehow.

As a motion designer, I tried following some curated sites like http://www.motionserved.com/ and PremiumBeat's motion graphics section.

What about you? How do you find out about developing trends in design?
