UK-based illustrator Emil Paun has channelled his childhood love of sci-fi novels into an optimistic series of images that imagine a more hopeful future for humanity. It's all too easy to be pessimistic about the state of the world. AI will take your job if climate change doesn't get you first. But what if everything wasn't all doom and gloom? What if things work out for the best and people have a bright, happy future to look forward to?

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.

Building trust with your audience is a key part of the customer journey. The truth is, we’ll buy products we like, but we’ll rarely commit to a brand unless we trust them. If the level of trust isn’t there we’re much more likely to shop around as we don’t have any loyalties. Our purchasing decisions will also be driven by factors such as price and convenience, rather than investing in a brand because we trust them.

From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
