Understanding and embracing the mental models of others to achieve the best creative results Visual design is one of the least sacred disciplines to practice. No matter your level of talent, experience, training, or college degrees, clients and colleagues will have no qualms about critiquing your work and offering their own “art direction.” If you take work personally, this can be annoying and painful like a slow death from a thousand cuts.

Canvas prints offer a simple yet creative way to decorate and liven up your home. Unlike canvas paintings — which are a totally different art form — all you need is an inkjet printer to create a canvas print. Whether you want to dedicate a spot on your living room wall for your favorite photos or use your favorite designs to achieve the aesthetic you are envisioning, you don’t need to be an interior designer to effectively use canvas prints.

When it comes to corporate video, there are A LOT of terms that get thrown around. And let’s be honest, if you don’t work in video then this might seem like a whole load of gibberish.

If you have no idea what any of these things mean, then I wouldn’t be surprised.

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.
