A self-described mad scientist, Erica Sellers has merged art and design since she was a child. She invented contraptions and imaginary worlds, drawing or painting to let her many ideas take shape. While the product designer and builder has had many supporters, none was more influential than her grandmother Elsa, or “Nonni” to Sellers. Eccentric and generous, Elsa taught Sellers how to play five-card poker, telling her it would come in handy one day.

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.

In fact, 81% of travelers read reviews before booking a hotel. And nearly half won’t make a reservation for a hotel without reviews. It just goes to show how much weight potential guests place on reviews.

In that situation, we’re either left frustrated that we couldn’t do what we needed to, or even in some cases, look for what we want elsewhere.
