The irreverent, tank-driving troublemaker has been captured in a somewhat sultry moment by her original creator for a one-off open-edition print. Way back in 1988, comic artist Jamie Hewlett and writer Alan Martin created Tank Girl—a female character with a snarl, wit, and attitude who seemed to perfectly represent the vibe of a youth culture that was tired of batting back the same-old platitudes and prejudices faced by kids in the 1970s, 1960s, '50s, and so on.

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.

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.
