Working from a large closet in his apartment, Pasadena-based illustrator Dang Olsen specialises in drawing surreal artwork that looks like a "psychedelic cartoon flash freak out". We joined him on a trip to learn more about his process. Originally from Toledo, Ohio, Dang Olsen's career has seen him move to San Francisco, Oakland and Seattle. His aspirations as an artist go back to his childhood, though, as all he can remember from those days is drawing and going to garage sales.

Unlike proportional fonts, monospaced fonts consist of characters that all have the same width. This unique characteristic of monospaced fonts makes it easy to quickly tell the number of characters there are in a line, which incidentally is one of the advantages monospaced fonts have over proportional fonts. Monospaced fonts also tend to make text easier to read , thanks to their uniformity and consistency.

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.

The Rajasthan capital, and the first planned city in the country, was painted pink in 1876 in preparation for a visit by Prince Albert as, at the time, the colour was symbolic of hospitality. Ever since, Jaipur has been dubbed the Pink City — and was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.
