How to Build a Brand on a Small Budget You do not need much money to create an outstanding brand. You need guts. The world is stuffed with me-too companies yelling into the void, hoping somebody will take note. They think branding means flashy commercials and fancy logos. They’re mistaken. Authentic branding – the sort that turns heads and opens wallets – involves taking a stance.

In music, an adagio, which means “slowly” in Italian, refers to a slow tempo or pace in a song. It is unhurried, leisurely, and intentional. The same can be said about the creation of Adagio , a new tile project designed by the inimitable Ronan Bouroullec for Mutina , which revolves around a single ceramic module. By itself, Adagio is quite simple, but as you configure dozens of the modules together, slowly (that is, in adagio), a grand sculpture comes together, transforming blank walls into gal

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.

Many brands jump into rebranding to refresh their image, attract customers, or keep up with trends. Yet, as James Taylor, who previously worked at global creative agency JKR and is now the Global Head of Design at Media Arts Lab, points out, most of these efforts are useless.

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.
