Few countries on Earth take their food as seriously as Italy. It’s not difficult to justify the enormous pride Italians take in their spectacular culinary heritage, with their cuisine considered the ‘most exported’ on the planet. But while the wider world is undeniably in thrall, Italians’ patriotic palettes create and necessitate a notoriously conservative domestic cooking culture.

If you’ve ever explored the world of digital artists, you’ll know that calling them ‘hardworking’ hardly does justice to their dedication. Not only must they constantly hone their skills to succeed, but the cost of essential tools can be daunting, leaving some teetering on the brink of financial strain (and that’s only a slight exaggeration).

Gradients are a true staple of web design. Their beauty lies in their versatility. Use them to make a big, bold statement. Or use them as an accent piece to create a mood. The possibilities have never been greater. Modern CSS and JavaScript allow us to do more than mimic print design. We can use them to add movement and interactivity to the mix. But it goes deeper.

Often, the key to a visual identity is a clear concept developed thoughtfully. And the new designs for National Landscapes by Nice and Serious fall straight into that category. Never heard of National Landscape? Don't feel dumb: neither had we. That's because it's the new name for what used to be called Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). These are some of the UK's most special landscapes, with huge importance and potential in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss.

It's meant to be recognisable and help in brand identity and awareness—for example, the iconic Apple logo with a bitten apple silhouette. A tagline is a short phrase that captures a brand's essence or critical message. Taglines are an optional addition to strengthen brand messaging.

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.
