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.

There’s a trend which takes the use of products from companies such as Adobe and Microsoft from single-purchase goods owned by the consumer to monthly subscriptions. Unlike most dark patterns, this one does not necessarily trick users into agreeing with a system of recurring payments, but simply coerces or manipulates them instead. If they don’t agree, the product may become more expensive, or downright unavailable.
