When introducing color, pattern, and texture at any scale, it’s important to consider how those elements might hold a deeper meaning and with whom there may be resonance.

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.
