The web was once commonly thought to be a “green” platform. That makes sense, given the times. Electronic documents weren’t as popular. Using a website could save lots of printer paper and ink. Yes, websites often eliminate the need for physical copies of documents. But there was much we didn’t consider in those days. We didn’t think about massive server farms and the electricity required to run them.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
