We couldn’t help but be curious about what designers are binge-watching these days, as they try to make the most of their time indoors and escape (at least temporarily) the reality of our pandemic lockdown.

First developed in the 12th century, heraldry was a practice originally reserved for medieval knights, and served a simple but practical purpose: to show who you were. At the time, a banner had to be simple enough for someone to read while on a galloping horse, for the outcome of misreading such symbology could (and often did) cost lives on the battlefield.

Sometimes all you need is a name. It is a powerful thing. It always has a meaning and, even more, it has a subtext and undertone. A name can speak for itself. It can elicit trust in potential clients and quickly establish the proper atmosphere. As a rule, this name is the one associated with a company. It lies at the heart of the brand and serves as a source for inspiration when it comes to creating a visual identity.

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 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.
