If you’ve ever explored the world of digital artists, you’ll know that calling them ‘hardworking’ hardly does justice to their dedication.

Art can be a pricey pursuit.

Few countries on Earth take their food as seriously as Italy. It’s not difficult to justify the enormous pride Italians take in their spectacular culinary heritage, with their cuisine considered the ‘most exported’ on the planet. But while the wider world is undeniably in thrall, Italians’ patriotic palettes create and necessitate a notoriously conservative domestic cooking culture.

Often, the key to a visual identity is a clear concept developed thoughtfully. And the new designs for National Landscapes by Nice and Serious fall straight into that category. Never heard of National Landscape? Don't feel dumb: neither had we. That's because it's the new name for what used to be called Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). These are some of the UK's most special landscapes, with huge importance and potential in the fight against climate change and biodiversity loss.

Gradients are a true staple of web design. Their beauty lies in their versatility. Use them to make a big, bold statement. Or use them as an accent piece to create a mood. The possibilities have never been greater. Modern CSS and JavaScript allow us to do more than mimic print design. We can use them to add movement and interactivity to the mix. But it goes deeper.

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.

Ninety years ago in 1922, the Kiyomizu Elementary School first opened its doors to welcome a new generation of Kyoto school children into an era of modernity. The reinforced concrete construction stood representative of Japan’s breakneck efforts to modernize and integrate hallmarks of European design on a national scale, a minor monument in stark contrast to the traditional architecture that still paints Kyoto with an enduring historical climate.
