One of the most common uses of design skills is production of logos. Companies pay a lot of money and designers often put in a lot of time perfecting the brand image that will be on display for years, even decades at a time. Of course, sometimes it’s necessary to shake things up, to refresh […]
If you start a sentence off with “Love is like…” you don’t often end it with “…being a designer”. Then again, if you’re not a designer, you probably won’t be able to make sense of any of this anyway. This infographic by Ayla Newhouse is odd to say the least, but it actually makes some […]
It’s hard to believe that web design has been a popular profession for nearly two decades.
