The MILK Design Trend
June 10, 2009
Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborn mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. Not only all that but Milk is the new and most growing design trend (design meaning typography, manipulations, illustrations and more), it seems like everywhere you go online you find a bit of milk.
By being one of the biggest trends of the years milk is also providing a great source of inspiration to vitalize your mind, but sometimes trends get old so let's enjoy while it last.

SICK!
I love it!
Really great collection, very inspiring, thank you.
A lot of these are great works but I think this is easily the strangest design trend of the year. The idea of milk splashing against people's bodies is actually rather unappealing to me.
And no matter what they do, it's still not very original. It's cool, but I think I'll become a designer by throwing some mild, putting on a black background and saying it's art. :/
I just want to post one similar picture

Nice collection!
But... how is it done? By using 3D software like Realflow or Modo (with particles)? Or is all complete Photoshop using stock photos or brushes? Especially those modelling photo from Razooma.
Can anyone give some explaination please? Can't wait! :)
This is what i was talking about in the previous post! :D
Milk is a new design trend, awesome!
you missed out some of the best milk designs around
but still some cool ones :)
I wonder if the purpose of some of the milk designs (whether intentionally or subconsciously) is a sexual theme - most especially on the ones where it's just pouring over women. It's used as a sort of substitute to a specific other white-colored fluid.
Razoomovsky just really went to town with it - the curves and angles are awesome
"same old same old"
yawn.
Though not many of them actually look that impressing.. yeah i got milk .. so what?
They tend to do everything with milk ... gets boring already
its pretty trendy at the moment - but to be honest - i dont like this style very much. ;o)
"They tend to do everything with milk ... gets boring already"
word ;)
I did a piece like this a while back with Milk splashes, but I changed the colours so it looked like paint splashing.

I love the whole liquid element to this artwork, it just looks so amazing.
@Hans van Eijsden -- Take some pictures of paint/milk or other liquid with a fast shutter on a solid background. We have some freebies on our site (MediaMilitia.com) that you could make white and would look like the milk splatters. Hope that helps!
Great post Paul0!
@Avalon- Yup we definately have an eye for trends!
I am constantly amazed at how creative people can be. I love the one with the dove in it...

Excellent list, here's a few more photographic examples that are really well done :) http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Telki/202321
I love the milk.
Especially the milk pictures, a certain kind of humor.
This is a great collection of liquid art, I love the sequences type - take a look at another new one by http://www.handmadefont.com/ - they do fantastic stuff!
i remember seeing a tut long time ago how to create that splash effect:

I love this design trend. Too bad shutterstock charges a ton for milk stock :(

I love this stuff, it brings a hole new dimension to the "splatter and spray"-brushes
thats very cool.
trendsetting :-)
who would have thought Milk would be a popular design trend??
looks good though.
Hello!!!
