Typography has a huge part to play when it comes to graphic design. Not only does it help with legibility, but it also helps to promote the tone and message of a graphic. Studies have shown that people are visually drawn to designs that are easy on the eyes, and if something is confusing or difficult to read then this will result in a lower level of engagement overall.

While steel and glass rely on their inherent physical properties or the power of thinness to impress, brick and mortar are often seen as basic, relegated to a plebeian class of material often unfairly shared alongside textiles within the context of contemporary art.

A saturated market is one where too many companies are fighting for the same pool of customers, meaning the value of a product or service is often missed. This means conventional marketing strategies often fall short, as you’re competing with other companies who are offering a similar thing.

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.
