“A picture is worth a thousand words”. This archaic statement may seem like hyperbole, but saying that images speak louder than words is no exaggeration. We are an inherently visual species. Vision is the sense we rely on most, a fact reflected by how complex our eyes are in relation to other creatures, including our canine best friends. The truth is that humankind has communicated visually since the dawn of time.

One of the hallmarks of a top chef is his or her ability to do interesting takes on food combinations that, at first glance, seem like they wouldn’t go together at all. The first person, for example, to pair peas and wasabi together was a culinary genius. Think about it. Someone had to test flavors repeatedly – combining and recombining in just the right increments – to arrive at that particular fusion, which I’m told is quite tasty.

Both raw and processed data, as well as the communication channels that convey it, are the lifeblood of most modern organizations, regardless of the industry, they operate in or their size. This, unfortunately, also means that losing that data, either through negligence or via cyberattacks , has become an inevitable aspect of running a successful company.

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.
