7 Ingredients Of Good Corporate Design

`manicho:iconmanicho: reports, 2d 14h ago
A great article at Smashing Magazine that every designer should check. If you're into Coroporate Design, I'm sure you will find this info really useful.

It’s hard to define design. We have a broad range of definitions to choose from: design refers not only to graphic design, but to design strategy, too. It is used in a variety of industries, such as engineering, architecture and Web design.

The Little Things That Matter

What I CAN tell you is, if you come here, you can see all the stories and meanings I see behind people's artworks! I'm not saying my opinion is or isn't one or the best, but if you're like me, you'd say, "Hell, who cares how professional it is or isn't, every opinion matters!" ;P
