While there might be a certain aesthetic traditionally associated with rock bands, Foals have shifted gears entirely in the new video for Like Lightning, from the second half of the band’s two-part album Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost. The playful video was created by French animator Virginie Kypriotis, and has climate activism at its core. It follows the recent release of Rip Up The Road, a feature-length documentary that takes a closer look at the individuals behind Foals.

Comic fonts are a natural choice for comic books and cartoons. However, thanks to their bold design, they can also be used in any design project that requires an edgy design. They are a great choice for poster design as well as for large headers. Some of them can also be used in children’s books to make them easier to read. For a long time, Comic Sans was one of the few choices available for any design projects that needed a comic book feel.

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.
