Since farmers started branding livestock in 2000BC, branding's primary role has been to make a product, service, organisation or cow uniquely identifiable. Why, then, is so much of modern identity design so indistinguishable? And how can we fix it? Everyone knows that standing out is good, right? If you work in the world of design and branding – either as a creative, a client, an agency or a brand owner – your job is to help the brands you represent get noticed and remembered.

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.

With bold colours, strong textures and a dash of humour, there's a slight melancholy to the German artist's oil paintings, as they're supposedly inspired by "the crazy times we're living in". One would assume that Claussen's protagonist had entirely given up on life, given the nature of some of the artworks.
