For its new track Out Of, French band Claptrap appointed Geoffroy Pithon and Gérald Fleury to create a stop-motion music video that mixes paint, drawings and paper cut-outs with a little lettering all in Pithon's distinctive style – a pleasing mash-up that treads a fine line between art and graphic design. Geoffroy Pithon was approached by Claptrap earlier last year to come up with an identity for its latest music album, Adulting, under the French record label Un je-ne-sais-quoi.

In comparison, we know relatively little about 20th century Belgian graphic design — despite a rich, bold history in pushing boundaries across posters, flyers and other printed ephemera, typography, editorial design, and more.

But it’s irritating much more when somebody who is generally talented spoils a good shot by over-editing it through photo editing tools for pc. The goal of photo editing would be to improve, not to overshadow, your photograph.

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.
