# Graphic Commodity Blogs Kate Bingaman Burt Illustrates One Purchase She Makes Every Day By Christopher DeLuca | Published 2011-06-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kate-bingaman-burt References: [designobserver](http://designobserver.com/observermedia/audiofile.html?entry=22608) & [theokbb.tumblr](http://theokbb.tumblr.com/) Kate Bingaman Burt has a fascinating approach to thinking about her association to the objects that she purchases every day: the graphic designer has created a Tumblr where she showcases a different illustration of each purchase she made on a daily basis. A scrapbook, a t-shirt and some sunglasses are just some examples of the banal objects that her blog puts on display. Kate Bingaman Burt has created something very interesting that examines the objects that make up who she is. The illustrations have a very unique style. I really think that the objects become imbued with significance as a direct result of the slightly uneven illustration style. This blog by Kate Bingaman Burt is definitely one that you should spend some time with. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Object Documentation:** The trend of documenting everyday objects through illustrations or photography presents disruptive innovation opportunities for artist platforms and social media platforms. - **Personal Branding:** The trend of showcasing everyday purchases as a means of self-expression and personal branding presents disruptive innovation opportunities for e-commerce platforms and influencer marketing. - **Visual Storytelling:** The trend of using illustrations or visuals to narrate personal experiences or daily lives presents disruptive innovation opportunities for content creation platforms and digital art tools. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Artist Platforms:** The trend of documenting everyday objects through illustrations or photography presents an opportunity for artist platforms to provide a space for artists to share and sell their artwork online. - **Social Media Platforms:** The trend of showcasing everyday purchases as a means of self-expression and personal branding presents an opportunity for social media platforms to offer specialized features for users to curate and share their daily purchases. - **E-commerce Platforms:** The trend of showcasing everyday purchases as a means of self-expression and personal branding presents an opportunity for e-commerce platforms to collaborate with influencers and offer curated collections based on their daily purchases. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Whimsical Home-Centric Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/katie-kime.md) - [Unique Writing Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphite-paintbrush-writing-instrument.md) - [Object Design-Explorative Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apartamento-secreto.md) - [Pottery-Inspired Artful Notebooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kintsugi-art.md) - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md)
