7 Signs it’s Time for a Refresh
Do you remember back in 2015 when Google updated their logo from a serif to a sans serif font? Maybe after almost 10 years you’ve forgotten.

Becoming an RGD
It feels strange to be talking about how I became a Registered Graphic Designer (RGD) member, considering I’ve been a part of the organization since my first year of college almost 10 years ago, but over the summer that’s exactly what I did.

quietly. It is a powerful element we use in our work everyday. We use it strategically to achieve different
objectives, and to make it that much more compelling to the audience. Our colour choices
