Is graphic design child's play?
We see good design all around us - whether it be on a website, a flyer or a business card - and in response people often underestimate how much effort goes into getting the finished product into that state. Of course for any graphic designer - design is fun, but that does that mean it is merely child's play to create something beautiful?
This short little video explains how non-designers typically feel they know more about how to design (courtesy of makemylogobigger.com):
Some people even try and cut corners by avoiding use of a graphic designer for their design needs - they realise very quickly that creating even a simple flyer is much more difficult then they first imagined.
In response to all the graphic design skeptics and critics - please let the graphic designers do the design work - the world will be a more beautiful place as a result

The Google Font
As Google has become a household name over the last few years - many people ask "What font have Google used in their logo?"
The good news is that the font is named Catull BQ, created for Berthold in 1982 by German designer Gustav Jaeger. The bad news is that is that it is available to buy online from around $99 and upwards.
If however you want to create another logo like the Google logo (using the same colour scheme and styling), then why not try GoogleFont.com. See above for one I made earlier.
Some harmless fun otherwise...
