Would your site fall behind the competition and start losing traffic? The answer is no or yes—depending on how often you publish content.

Munich-born illustrator and graphic designer Nina Bachmann has carved out a niche for herself blurring the boundaries between banality and absurdity. Using garish colours and eccentric characters, her illustrations offer up a visual feast for her viewers to gorge on. Mostly, these are created using acrylic and oil sticks on canvas, but she also regularly builds sculptures with different materials.

Last summer, while browsing the fiction aisles at Powell’s Books in Portland, a fat black spine caught my attention. At the top, the book’s title was typeset in tapering white capitals. An image of a rainbow sprang from the bottom of the spine and over onto the back cover. The rainbow’s simple, bright strokes offered an unexpected and pleasing contrast to the elegant type, and both stood out vividly against the dark background.

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.

Humble. Jubilant. Serious. Charming. Provocative. They might be words that we usually use to describe a person’s personality traits, but can also readily apply to brand personalities. Our personality determines whether we charm or irritate people, inspire them or send them running for the hills, or beyond! A brand personality is no different. A strong, well-defined personality humanizes a brand, making it both distinctly different and relatable in today’s cluttered marketplace.
