Science fiction has had an immense influence on the arts, including literature, cinema, graphic arts, and design. This impact is so significant that Swiss furniture company Vitra has dedicated a year-long exhibition titled Science Fiction Design: From Space Age to Metaverse to explore this intersection of design and science fiction. To understand the relationship between these two realms means revisiting the history books.

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.
