The woman leaves the room for a moment, and when she comes back, she is dismayed to find that the children have all begun scribbling on the walls. There are squiggly lines of color everywhere, ruining her pristine, white paint job.

Read the book, Typographic Firsts. Tens of millions of broadsides were printed from the very earliest days of printing. Many were cheap and ephemeral, eventually being recycled or ending up in the trash. Others, like rebus and puzzle broadsides were novel and engaging enough to live longer lives. This is my very brief look at some early examples of these curious so-called hieroglyphic broadsides.

One of the first steps to take when you start the branding process is to begin defining your brand. It’s also probably one of the more difficult tasks and involves a lot of time spent thinking about your business and target audience. What appeals to them? What do they like? What magazines do they read? Where do they shop? You get the picture. As a visual person, obviously the easiest way for me to do this is…you guessed it, VISUALLY.

Bring up the subject of artificial intelligence (AI) and it tends to elicit one of two reactions. Either it’s the technology that will save us or it’s going to take our jobs. Both of these responses are understandable. After all, there’s plenty of good AI can bring to the world. It could help us cure diseases and solve other highly complex problems.

Living in a digital world makes everything easier including finding graphic design inspiration. Holding a magazine and leafing through the pages may seem a little obsolete in 2020 but gaining inspiration from digital sources can not top the feeling of the traditional, physical experiences. The amount of online resources you can find is exciting. Also, we can’t argue that online resources have become our main source of inspiration and information in every aspect imaginable.

Apart from obnoxious influencers, Instagram also includes some accounts that are real gems. This account , dedicated to Arabic book covers and maintained by Egyptian designer Moe Elhossieny, is one of these gems. Elhossieny has catalogued a huge archive of book covers in Arabic on plenty of topics and styles. These act as a glimps of Arabic countries recent history, which was quite intense.

This article has been contributed by Haley Osborne. Browsing social media posts has become a regular part of our everyday routine. But we don’t actually take notice of all the posts we see, simply because there are so many of them. People have become picky in what they choose to watch or read. As a result, a caption for a social media post that’s been quickly thrown together is not enough to attract the attention of a wider audience.

The “Transform Again” command in Photoshop that repeats the previous adjustment with every press of the shortcut has many uses, but one of my favourites is to create faux 3D text effects. By layering up several copies of a text element with a basic Bevel and Emboss layer style, you can simulate a simple three-dimensional appearance complete with shading effects.

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.

The marketing space in the modern era is rather competitive. While brands are striving to make excellent products and have product quality at their core, branding is something that not everyone pays heed to. Sure, your customer base is bound to increase if they have good products at their disposal, but who ensures that it reaches them in the first place?

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.
