A guide to picking the right brand colors. Brand colors are an essential part of any company’s image. Once chosen, they become part of a company’s identity and help to shape how they are perceived by the public. A company’s logo is often a customer’s first point of contact and this logo will be designed using brand colors. Therefore it’s important to make the right impression.

Fine artist, illustrator, and author Lisa Congdon was named among 200 Women Who Will Change the Way You See The World — but starting out, Lisa Congdon was just a name. In fact, if you asked Lisa in her early 20s, she would tell you that she wasn’t a very good artist at all. But her journey from not having a clue what she wanted to do with her life to working as an artist known for her colorful style isn’t all that different from the journey many artists embark on.

But the Seattle-based photographer didn’t build a business delivering images of real moments without photography posing — in fact, just the opposite. Elena uses unique lifestyle posing techniques to encourage authentic interaction so much so that she says she hardly ever stops talking during a session.

A career as an entrepreneur is seldom the safe path lit with streetlights — embarking on a self-propelled career instead often feels like the unlit walking trail scattered with fast food wrappers, discarded coffee cups and dark shadows.

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.

May I ask what benefits you have seen from Instagram? Speaking for myself, I used it for a couple years and became burned out on trying to keep up a consistent level of output, while dealing with the normal problems of social media (making subconscious comparisons to other accounts, habitually scrolling when I was bored, etc). Furthermore, my work got some decent exposure, but only from people I would call art “enthusiasts” or other artists, not anyone who actually wanted to give me work.

The writer Arthur Koestler fought fascism in the early 1930s. He courageously wrote against Nazism in Germany and was imprisoned on death row for his stand against fascism in Spain. Communists hailed him as a hero. A few years later, Koestler spoke out again, but this time against communist oppression. His classic novel, Darkness at Noon, exposed Stalin's show trials to the world.

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.
