After working at an agency, his last job, he says: "I can't say it was a fun or interesting experience, as I've always worked with existing brand guidelines, mostly on mass consumer brands, and I often had to work overtime

Historically, employee training relied heavily on a lecture style of teaching where the employees had to reach the training session on time, listen attentively to the instructor, take down notes quickly and wait until the next day to get their doubts clarified. The duration of courses was dependent on the completion rate of others. It means even if you are ahead of your fellow employees, you’ll not be awarded a certificate.

The packaging design of fireworks is at once easy and hard to ignore. As a category, it’s just loud enough to catch your eye, then dismiss as undeserving of analysis, or even a second look. The defining traits of the genre — bright colors, cartoonish illustrations, evocative names — can melt into one campy swath. But focus for a moment, and you’ll see something else: a reflection of pop culture, a barometer for the interests of the cis male population, and a surprisingly sophisticated design.

Adobe Illustrator has become an industry standard. Used by many professional designers, it’s a robust program with plenty of tools and features that could help you create amazing vector designs. It’s very flexible and there are plenty of tutorials online. But to say it’s the perfect vector program will be exaggerated.
