The Story

How we start.

The world has changed, the way we communicate is evolving since the first writing of language in Mesopotamia, the inventions of printing press, and the digital and internet revolution nowadays. Now, we don’t just communicate with simple spoken words and written messages, the internet enables us to communicate and interact in a globally-networked world.

Color theory, information hierarchy, user experience design, well, you named it, are ones of countless concepts about communication in this always evolving world.
