With the rise of digital art, artists now have access to sophisticated tools that can replicate the charm of traditional media. Among the most powerful of these tools are watercolor Photoshop brushes, which allow artists to simulate the delicate, transparent washes and rich textures of watercolor painting directly within Photoshop.

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.

As someone whose first car was a mint green Fiat 500, I've always wanted to feel the confidence that comes with that 'big car energy' on the roads.
