The art of symmetry is a mathematical one. In its purest form it represents balance, from weights on a scale to the anatomy of the human face. Derived from the Greek summetria (“ sun,” with or together, and “metro,” to measure), symmetry can be discovered both physically and metaphorically all around us. . In 1972, symmetry was found in a band of four Swedes called Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid.

Building a beautiful and functional website is hard. Showing your clients how it works can be just as challenging. There are many ways to go about the client education process. Training sessions – in person or via videoconference – are a popular choice. They can be informative. Yet the knowledge you share may not be retained over the long term. And the task of searching through a recording for that one specific tip isn’t very efficient, either.

A narrative lens towards more ambitious work that drives change where it actually matters. Commercial pandering feels really good, is safe and takes almost no real work. The film Design Disruptors (2016, directed by Matt D’Avella) showcases over-relaxed, uninspired, numbingly polite and predominantly white design managers at very large companies in hopes that we will indirectly associate them with the film’s title.

In the late 90’s I was fired from my position of being the lone, and last staff photographer at LIFE. Even back then, print journalism was sliding sideways, economically, and LIFE was on the chopping block. I took my roughly $3000 settlement and converted it into a ticket to Norilsk, in Siberia, one of the most desperately bleak places on earth, and home to one of the largest and most environmentally deadly nickel mines in existence.

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.

According to Michelle Petersen: “My miniature sculptures and illustrations are all inspired by my love for nature and fantasy. The sculptures are made with polymer clay and incorporate found materials from nature (stones, wood, acorns, shells), and my two-dimensional work is made with a combination of ink, watercolor and charcoal. I try to show, through the lens of fantasy, every facet of nature that inspires me; from small and whimsical to majestic, mysterious and unsettling.” More:
