We can’t do what we want to do without the aid of tools. Chefs employ fire to conjure up gastronomic wonders in the kitchen. Playing an instrument is an essential part of the music. A bridge that allows people to travel between two points in suspended space must be built using the correct tools and materials. Visual art designers, such as graphic artists, require more than natural aptitude and skill to produce their work.

While everyone’s college experience is different, one thing has largely remained the same over the years – dorm rooms. Walk into any college campus and you’ll probably encounter the same 230 sq. ft. with the same white cinderblock walls, cold linoleum floors, and bulky furniture that just makes you a little bit sad. Drab as most dorm rooms tend to be, we like to think of them as blank canvases for your own creative expression.

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.

Incredibly, the dynamic flowing sculpture is fashioned from steel and powder-coated in an array of vivid colours. But to look at it, you wouldn't think it was made of metal. The "ribbons" float down in continuous wavy lines in front of the Brent Cross Town park's new locally-run ice cream kiosk, creating quite the centrepiece for the area.

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.
