Fine artist, illustrator, and author Lisa Congdon was named among 200 Women Who Will Change the Way You See The World — but starting out, Lisa Congdon was just a name. In fact, if you asked Lisa in her early 20s, she would tell you that she wasn’t a very good artist at all. But her journey from not having a clue what she wanted to do with her life to working as an artist known for her colorful style isn’t all that different from the journey many artists embark on.

The interaction between cultures has increased to unprecedented levels, thanks largely to the commercial web, and multiscript visual communication has become crucial to many designers’ practices as a result. Although this necessarily presents lots of intricate complexities and challenges, it also offers exciting new design opportunities.

When I first ventured into the wonderful and slightly precarious world of freelance illustration, I felt confident about most aspects of my work – I was skilled, experienced and had worked with a good range of clients. The only snag was that I now had to put a price on my work and, short of picking a number out of a hat, I knew I had to have a method that earned me a sustainable living.

Communists hailed him as a hero. A few years later, Koestler spoke out again, but this time against communist oppression. His classic novel, Darkness at Noon, exposed Stalin's show trials to the world.
