The Real Value of Great Graphic Design

What is graphic design? Is an artist with tools far more advanced than a paintbrush just digitally 'drawing' pretty pictures? Or is it the communication of ideals, values and promises through visuals? Is it problem-solving through the use of fonts, lines, shapes and colours?

Do You and Your Business Have a Tribe?

Everyone wants to belong.
