Last night I had the pleasure of attending this year's OFFF Festival launch party, which, among the usual festivities, promised a cryptic "immersive experience" titled 'Formations'. The invitation gave me little context – a VR show performed to live music. The trad art purist in me was sceptical.

The second GTA 6 trailer has just dropped – this is not a drill. It feels like we've been waiting an eternity (it's been almost 12 long years), but finally, we're returning to Vice City, and to say fans are excited is an understatement.

When the time comes to design a logo, originality is key – not just to avoid any unwanted design disputes, but also to carve out your own unique brand identity.

Amazon has undergone a major aesthetic overhaul, combining over 50 sub-brands to form one unified brand identity. Spanning 15 global markets, Amazon's new branding is a concise and considered update that demonstrates how stripping back to the basics creates a reinvigorated sense of authority (while still maintaining that signature smile). For a while, Amazon had suffered from success, scaling at a rapid rate but unable to keep a consistent brand ecosystem, leading to a fragmented identity.

Editorial art has the power to make a statement without words, especially when it comes to politics. A single image can evoke a sense of pride, capture the cultural zeitgeist or even question the authority, and no publication does it quite like The Atlantic. In a recent article titled 'America's Mad King', the site published a thought-provoking article covering the recent escapades of America's President, Donald Trump.
