The Singapore-based, sustainable beauty brand has a fresh look and strategy based on the idea of simple joy. Much like its fashion sibling, the beauty industry often feels like it's trying to push us into being something we're not. It offers us images of unattainable attractiveness, urges us to invest in overly expensive products, and subtly hints that our lives will be better if we only look more like an airbrushed model than our real selves.

We talk to the up-and-coming claymation animator Alistair Nicholls about his hands-on process, the smell of plasticine, 1970s camera lenses and handmade film noir. No method of creativity is as tactile as claymation. You can literally see the artist's fingerprints on the characters and props as the story unfolds in tiny increments of movement, with every detail finely controlled by the animator's hands.

Before there was a city, a living landscape of rivers, creeks and brooks stretched north of Lake Ontario. For Indigenous peoples and early settlers alike, these waterways provided the stuff of life, supporting wildlife ecosystems while facilitating trade and development. As colonial Toronto grew, however, streams became open sewers, which were systematically channelized and buried throughout 19th and 20th centuries.

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.
