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.

New products, new markets and new consumer groups generate new aesthetics – or, at least, you would hope so. Too often, style migrates from one category to another, or the identity of a sub-culture (visually speaking), is exploited in a commercial context. This is where ‘authenticity’ emerges, to support genuine origin credentials, or to mask the appropriation with narrative context.

Time is such a precious thing – and yet it’s so easy to waste. To illustrate, a friend of mine who served in the military once remarked that much of their day was spent standing around, awaiting orders. It sounds a lot like a typical web design project – albeit on a smaller scale. Most projects have grand objectives when it comes to what they’ll accomplish and how quickly it’ll happen.

Thanks to the power of CSS (and the occasional bit of JavaScript), these elements are being put to some seriously creative uses. In some instances, they’re dressed up to the point of being unrecognizable.

The original Aston Martin wing logo was introduced in 1927 – when it was more of a wing-shaped wordmark – and has undergone various adjustments since then. In 1930 it was adapted to appear more speedy, and tightened into more of a v shape, and in 1932 it was updated again to the scarab beetle-inspired wing shape it’s retained ever since.

Sometimes they’ll even utterly confuse you with a vague or nonsensical request, like " make the black blacker, " or " it’s just not poppy enough. ".

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.
