It's April Fool's Day, but most of us don't really need a special day to be foolish. Let's be honest, we all make mistakes, all year round. And while we might beat ourselves up over the fact, we wouldn't be human if we didn't.

It may be the unlikely title for a coffee table book of unpublished photos of two famous addicts and their new baby, but 'Family Values' offers a snapshot into the life of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love at the peak of Nirvana's incendiary fame.

“I wrote this book originally in 1965 to show young people how to have fun doing simple monster make-ups. It was published as a 60s magazine and was sold for many years as a back issue. I’ve been a professional makeup artist now for forty years but I still remember the thrill I had making myself up as monsters when I was a teen-ager. What I wanted to do with this book was to provide young amateurs with the information they need to understand and enjoy this art.

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.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. 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.
