One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real.

“Impostor!” You might think this damning word belongs only in TV shows, movies, and other entertainment media, uttered in response to the revelation that a character isn’t who they claim to be. You’d be wrong. In fact, 70 percent of us hear it every day – from our own minds. That, ladies and gentlemen, is what is known as impostor syndrome.
