Unfortunately, Syria has become identified by the horrible war that has been going on for a very long time. Some people, however, don’t want to forget the rich ancient and modern history of that beautiful country. Kinda Ghannoum, Sally Alassafen, and Hala Al Afsaa, three designers with a Syrian background, have decided to keep the memory of Syrian design alive by creating the Syrian Design Archive.

In today’s Adobe Illustrator tutorial I’m going to take you through the process of creating a retro text effect, inspired by the title art for the Superman comic books. Old comic book titles feature some really simple but effective text styles, often incorporating faux-3D effects, bright colours, and thick black outlines. It’s a graphic style that is immediately recognisable thanks to these common visual features that appear in different variations across all the superhero stor

Read the book, Typographic Firsts. Among my favorite kinds of typefaces are those that don’t fit neatly into predefined or existing categories; those that dip their toes into more than one genre, or take their cues from disparate historical periods. These twilight zone hybrids aren’t always easy to pull off. Today, I’m featuring an in-between typeface that pulls it off […].

A brief guide on using the right style of numerical for your use case. Typography plays a vital role when laying the visual foundation of any brand. The brand fonts are carefully chosen to be not only legible but also to represent the brand’s personality and be relevant to the industry that the brand exists within. It would be unusual to typeset a comic book in Times New Roman or use Comic Sans in an important government document (despite being on-brand for some governments).

The pricing page is a staple for any online shop. It’s used for SaaS products, service companies, and eCommerce shops all around the web. And no pricing page would be complete without a pricing table comparing options, features, and (naturally) prices. But designing your own from scratch can be a hassle. That’s where these open source pricing tables can help.

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.

It often seems like the most popular things can also be among the most divisive. That holds true for web design, just as it does in life. One prime example of this is the slider. Various types of sliders or slideshows have been deployed on websites for years. And there was a time when it was difficult to find a modern site that didn’t use them. All of this despite a vocal backlash against the feature from the design community.

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.
