MFA graduate in Fiber Julia Caroline LeKander hugs Fiber Artist-In-Residence Joey Quiñones yesterday afternoon at the 2026 Cranbrook Academy of Art Commencement. Clapping in the background are Artists-In-Residence Rebecca Ripple (Sculpture) and Elliott Earls (Graphic Design).

It was a beautiful afternoon celebrating some remarkable artists which included an address by McArthur Binion (MFA Painting 1973) and Robert B. Jones singing “The Cranbrook Blues” which was more celebration than blues!

I had so much fun giving a talk to the motion graphics students at UConn Stamford today and sharing my journey as a video artist! Putting together this presentation really made me reflect on my own design journey that started way back at @purchasecollege in 1997! Shout out to @elliottearls who inspired me to learn motion graphics in the first place, and to all my incredible mentors over the years!

@jackiebpix Thanks for encouraging me to play in the sand box!

Thanks for inviting me! @dani_ech_ @uconndmd @uconnstamford Til’ next time!

To the students: Keep creating in the way only you can. Follow the breadcrumbs, make garbage art, and project your light into the world!! 🔥🔥🔥

It is some point in the future: What has graphic design become? What will we need it to be? What is your vision for the future? And how might you want to present, create or enact it in the space?

This is the question we have asked to a group of international graphic designers and design thinkers.

And here is a selection of their inspiring responses, that express visions and ideas on technology and on the effects on type and language. Reflected and designed by:
