It’s no secret that graphic design and web design are different animals. And despite how far the web has come in terms of flexibility, there are still limitations. For example, CSS has made it possible to create complex layouts. Yet responsiveness and accessibility must also be taken into account. Creating something that can withstand various devices and use cases requires a lot of care.

When it comes to consumer goods packaging, you should never compromise on the design. The way these products look from a visual standpoint, is a huge contributing factor in why people buy them. Think about this from your own perspective. Have you ever bought a bottle of gin just because you liked the packaging? It’s not the brand you normally buy, and you’ve never even tasted the flavour, but it’s visually really intriguing.

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.

“I Have a Dream….” A line familiar to many, taken from a famous speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Taken from Dr. King’s famous “March on Washington” address on August 28, 1963, this phrase has become iconic with people looking for a better, brighter, and more tolerant future. Although seemingly an insignificant collection of words, this phrase and the speech it was used in have been a driving force behind those campaigning for freedom and fundamental human rights.

Images of animals at play are as common as scenes of human leisure.

The LED pivots on an axis to focus light downward or as a soft wall wash, giving you the control to set the mood for any space. While on, Nivél only uses 10.5W of power, making it 90% more efficient than comparable halogen light sources and 40% more efficient than CFLs.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique.
