The Space Age kicked off in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik (the world’s first satellite) by the Soviet Union. This led to what is referred to as the ‘space race,’ where the US faced up against the Soviets to see who could create the better space-flight technology and ultimately to see who could be the first to send a person to the moon. Politics aside, this age of competition around space travel ultimately led to many great technological advances for both sides.

A couple weeks ago, we hosted a workshop at the AIGA Design Conference called Design Writing 101: How Writing Is a Lot More Like Designing Than You Think. When we started planning for the event, we had lots of ideas around what that statement meant. At their core, both writing and design are about storytelling — they are about forming ideas and giving ideas form, though those forms often take very different shapes.

Mobile devices have taken over the web. Thus, so much designer attention has (rightly) gone towards ensuring that the websites we build are compatible. We are constantly refining how we implement responsive features so that they work flawlessly on small screens. While this is a worthwhile endeavor, there are other screens to think about. Large viewports are also a pretty important consideration.

Websites with animation are pretty common nowadays and we don’t even know it. The animation could be injected into a website to make it the main focus of interest – landing pages, backgrounds, headers, and more. However, some websites introduce the animation so subtly, readers don’t often notice it. This could be via scrolling, navigation, loaders, progress bars, and the like.

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.
