We’ve all heard it before. The inevitable request from a client to revise a design to make it more… something. The client isn’t sure what exactly, but they know that whatever they’re looking at on the screen isn’t quite "there" yet. Sometimes they’ll even utterly confuse you with a vague or nonsensical request, like " make the black blacker, " or " it’s just not poppy enough. ".

New products, new markets and new consumer groups generate new aesthetics – or, at least, you would hope so. Too often, style migrates from one category to another, or the identity of a sub-culture (visually speaking), is exploited in a commercial context. This is where ‘authenticity’ emerges, to support genuine origin credentials, or to mask the appropriation with narrative context.

Time is such a precious thing – and yet it’s so easy to waste. To illustrate, a friend of mine who served in the military once remarked that much of their day was spent standing around, awaiting orders. It sounds a lot like a typical web design project – albeit on a smaller scale. Most projects have grand objectives when it comes to what they’ll accomplish and how quickly it’ll happen.

Ok, so you got your basic black room. And then, you light it. Extensively. Let’s start at the beginning. Why can’t you use one flash and shutter drag? Good question. A) Because the assignment was to use lots of lights. B) And more importantly, the issue of control. If you had one subject, who could stand still, and you could shoot at f/1.4 and let the room drift into gauzy ambient lit context, ok.

He was hoping to capture the ominous shelf cloud leading that night’s torrent but instead found himself witnessing an unusually lucky sight: as the rain broke during twilight, a double rainbow emerged over the horizon, an already stunning phenomenon made more serendipitous w

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.

1. Pleated Pitcher by Areaware. My fiancé and I are getting hitched this year, and this Areaware Pitcher was one of the first things we added to our registry.

But what I love even more is the fact that it doubles as a gorgeous flower vase – earning it permanent residence on our tabletop.
