Instagram has come a long way since it was first launched a decade ago. If you scroll back through anyone’s timelines I’m sure their first posts are a selfie with a Sierra filter pasted over it. Nowadays it’s the third most popular social media platform in the world with over a billion users.

Is it really worth asking what a web design company does, the answer appears so obvious at first that it seems a pointless question. A company that designs websites, clearly. And that on the face of it is exactly right, so is there any more to it than that?

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.

Artist Robert Crumb stumbled into the perfect sweet spot. If he'd been born a few years earlier, he would've been censored, jailed or burned at the stake. If he'd been born a few years later, during the era of MeToo and Black Lives Matter, his work would've been shunned. If he'd been less crazy, his art wouldn't have stood out. If he'd been crazier, he might've followed his brothers into dysfunction and suicide.
