From postcards to billboards, what are the hallmarks of good graphic design?
@standardsmanual: Ideas. People like to solve puzzles—give them something to figure out. Finding the hidden arrow never gets old (Jesse Reed).
@BlankSpaceNYC: Boiling a message down to its essence. A successful graphic designer is the ultimate editor.
@aileenkwun: Per the legendary Milton Glaser, graphic design should delight and inform.
