Buenos Aires-based illustrator Milagros Pico specialises in creating images that are bursting with vibrant colours. She tells us how music and contradictory feelings shape her work. If the illustrations of Milagros Pico had a flavour, they'd definitely be bittersweet. Describing her work as "eye candy", her art has an appropriate sharpness and sourness to it.

A social housing boom is underway in Spain. Thanks to architectural competitions organized by municipal or regional authorities, government-subsidized projects are not only growing in number, adding much-needed housing supply, but are just as — if not more — thoughtfully designed than their market-rate counterparts. The Balearic Islands, an archipelago off the Eastern coast of Spain, has its own reputation for delivering forward-thinking social housing.

Are AI design tools about to replace human designers? Most of us would assume they are not quite there yet. But: could they be getting closer? While AI can certainly generate strong designs instantly, it often misses the mark on the finer details that a human designer would catch. If you, for example, ask an AI to draw a picture of a hand—it might get a general idea, but it might not capture the subtle details that make a hand look real.

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.

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.

In a saturated market where everyone is shouting their message, brand differentiation is a fundamental strategy to help you stand out. A saturated market is one where too many companies are fighting for the same pool of customers, meaning the value of a product or service is often missed. This means conventional marketing strategies often fall short, as you’re competing with other companies who are offering a similar thing.
