For one year, Los Angeles-based animator Daren Jannace would sketch 30 tiny drawings on standard yellow Post-It notes. Illustrating colorful squiggly lines, blob-like characters, and the occasional text, each square canvas became part of a larger stop-motion storyline called “ 10,946.” The short film follows Jannace’s daily musings set atop a black cutting mat and paired with audio—music, a buzzing fly, and a child screaming included—recorded on his phone.

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.

The mobile phone network swaps festive schmaltz for social purpose in a practical push to address data poverty. Every year, there are a bunch of Christmas ads that highlight a brand's work for charity and pull on your heartstrings via characters who aren't in a position to fully enjoy the festival season. Typically, that's because they either can't afford presents or are socially excluded from the party.

With what is now a common mapping method, The Economist used a dot density map to show election results by county. The dot counts are scaled to population density. At first glance, I thought it was a 2024 version of this 2020 election map that shows the mix of voting within regions. A two-dimensional angle for grains of sand. But the map above shows just the winner of each county, which caught me off guard, because I associate the method with mixing demographic groups.

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.
