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.

From grid-like woven patterns to intertwined strands of fringe, Antonio Santn s hyperrealistic oil paintings ( previously ) look incredibly similar to the ornamental carpets they’re modeled on. By studying real rugs and the way they scrunch, fold, and interact with light, he transfers these qualities to canvas. The overall designs, however, are a product of the artist’s imagination.

Jotting off Cape Cod, this smaller and quainter outcrop has a strong seafaring character and maritime tradition, fishing and whaling in previous centuries. Though it counts among some of the costliest vacation and second home destinations in the United States, it remains less glitzy and more authentic than nearby Marthas Vineyard or The Hamptons.

A few minutes later, I get a view of it all from the shower, which overlooks the same landscape from an adjoining window one that extends down to my ribs as I stand below the stream of water.
