Every design’s best friend is copy. Copy or text refers to the written message in the design. The design layout and text work together. Graphic design has a job to do. Its job is to catch attention and communicate with your audience. Here’s the thing though – design can catch all the attention you want, but your text is what is going to tell your people what you want them to know.

Pandiculation, by definition, is the act of stretching oneself, which is often accompanied by yawning. It typically happens when we wake up, but it can also be a symptom of office life, especially during very long work meetings, virtual or otherwise. The phenomenon is explored perfectly and hilariously by recent graduates Jakob Eiring and Konrad Hjemli with their animation of the same name. “Pandiculation is about the inner battle of suppressing your natural needs to avoid slight embarrass

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.

The best journalistic illustrations seem to combine an enthusiasm for facts, a love of drawing, and a third element-- a personality or character which presents the subject matter in an interesting manner that a photograph could not. Noted illustrator Paul Hogarth (1917-2001) described the third element this way: " The problem is how to make an image compelling, even in an aesthetic way – not just to sit down and make a record.

Years ago, when I was shooting an aviation story for the National Geographic, I was clamping Speedlights over all manner of high priced flying hardware.
