When setting up social media accounts, one of the first things you will need to design will be the banners that serve as your identity on the platforms. For these, you will need to work with a consistent color scheme and branding, as you would for any other corporate design, but also with the right banner sizes, as they vary from platform to platform and can be a bit burdensome to find.

The 1970s was a time for revolutionary typography that influenced graphic design in such an irreversible way. Modern projects that emulate a retro touch are now synonymous to this decade. But what exactly makes a design retro and very specifically the ’70s? Graphic Design History: the ’70s. If the 1960s relied on dripping psychedelic imagery and self-expression, the 1970s was a time for further experimentation, collective movement and deviations from the decade that came before it.

Collage making is one of the simplest yet most creative forms of contemporary design. It may be defined as merely putting a bunch of images together to create one artwork, but it actually requires more skill and discipline than that. It involves combining different things that all connect in some way and in a way that makes sense, which is why collages are still widely used up to this date and have evolved from their humble arts and crafts roots to a form of cutting-edge graphic design.

I remember the first time I bought a hard copy of The Paris Review. I was at a sleek coffee shop in Brooklyn; the kind that has polished oak chairs and sells vegan doughnuts. The magazine cost me more than $20 after tax, but it seemed like a worthwhile purchase. It was physically full, packed with the bylines of writers whose work I admired, and thoughtfully designed.

Your website serves as the first thing potential customers see when they get in touch with your brand. A well-designed website highlights your services and unique selling propositions (USP), resulting in higher conversion rates, and more sales for your business. A lot of people confuse web design with web development. While web development deals with the backend development of the site, web design has more to do with how your website appears—layout, colors, copy, and site functionality.

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.
