Jogging up the street in Glanville, rain speckling the screen as neon reflections dance in pavement puddles, you can peer into the windows of the apartments stacked above the shops and offices along the main strip, watching as the creatures within eat or smoke, silhouetted against the flickering light of their TV sets. Backbone trailer showing off some gameplay and stunning sceneryĭespite its moodiness, though, Backbone's journey through dystopian Vancouver takes you to some truly stunning backdrops, painstakingly fashioned in stylish pixel art. His work - an endless parade of cheating husbands, apparently - is neither exciting nor inspiring, and Howie's keen for you to know exactly how unrewarding it is to him. ![]() He lives in a small, run-down apartment, unable to let a single thought pass through his mind without lacing it with a healthy dose of cynicism. Your life as PI Howard Lotor - a raccoon detective with the obligatory trenchcoat and a penchant for the dramatic - kicks off pretty much as you'd expect. Availability: Out now on PC and Game Pass, coming 2021 to Xbox, PS4, Switch.Because what Backbone purports to be is very different to what it really is in the end. It's not out of place, exactly, because at first it fits this pixel-perfect, "post-noir" detective tale, but later, when that tale takes an astonishing and inexplicable turn, it feels disingenuous. ![]() Like a stale perfume, it permeates everything - the environments, the weather, the dialogue, the music, the story, even the characters' names. Backbone's sumptuous pixel art and promising narrative threads are undermined by flat gameplay and a non sequitur of a final act.

![]() Wood generators take too much fuel that I'm usually needing early game for floors or fueling cooking tables, so I skip that. So I'll usually start with chemfuel generators (I like to train two boomalopes early game, that's more than enough for two chemfuel generators), then move onto helixien and finally geyers. And resources to build gas or electric heaters are identical. (25 units of gas into a generator making 1000W power for 5 electric heaters and a little left over, or 5 gas heaters using 50 units of gas.) Granted, solar flares will knock out electric heaters and I don't believe gas heaters. I usually go for helixien before geysers because the tech is easier and there's more benefits coming out of it, like if I feel the need to use it for heating or sun lamps.Įfficiency-wise I'd rather use electric heaters since they consume less power than gas and I nearly can get an entire gas generator powering tons of electric furnaces. It just usually feels like the first high-tech power on my base, one that doesn't need any maintenance or fueling. Yeah I really like using the helixien gas generators (not so much the other pieces, although here and there). ![]() r/RimWorldStreams - For all of your videos and streams needs r/RimWorldTales - /u/srgrafo's Rimworld Comic Series r/RimworldSwap - Swap saves with other players r/ShitRimworldSays - /r/nocontext posts about /r/RimWorld r/RimworldArt - Posts about Rimworld Artwork (not fanart!) r/Rimreddit - Colonists playing only on a single planet r/RimWorldPorn - High Quality Images of Rimworld Colonies No discussing pirated versions of the game.

Since people will always find visual content more engaging, graphic design helps organizations promote and communicate more effectively. Great marketing engages people based on the wants, needs, awareness and satisfaction they have about a product, service or brand. When most people think of graphic design, they think of designs created for marketing and advertising.Ĭompanies depend on successful marketing efforts to tap into their target audience’s decision-making process. They also need excellent communication, conceptual and creative skills, and a passion for researching industries, organizations, trends and competitors.Ģ. Visual identity graphic designers must possess a general knowledge of all types of graphic design in order to create design elements that are suitable across all visual media. Visual identity design is one of the most common types of design. These guidelines help to ensure brand consistency throughout future applications. In addition to the standard business cards and corporate stationary, designers often develop a set of visual brand guidelines ( style guides) that describe best practices and provide examples of visual branding applied across various media. Visual identity graphic design is exactly that: the visual elements of brand identity that act as the face of a brand to communicate those intangible qualities through images, shapes and color.ĭesigners that specialize in visual identity graphic design collaborate with brand stakeholders to create assets like logos, typography, color palettes and image libraries that represent a brand’s personality. ![]() A brand identity is how the organization communicates its personality, tone and essence, as well as memories, emotions and experiences. Art and illustration for graphic designĪ brand is a relationship between a business or organization and its audience.The 8 fundamental types of graphic design are: Whether you are an aspiring designer or seeking design services for your business, understanding the 8 types of graphic design will help you find the right skills for the job. But because the industry is constantly changing, designers must be adaptable and lifelong learners so they can change or add specializations throughout their careers. Many designers specialize in a single type others focus on a set of related, similar types. Though they often overlap, each type of graphic design requires specific sets of skills and design techniques. Graphic design is the creation of visual compositions to solve problems and communicate ideas through typography, imagery, color and form. There’s no one way to do that, and that’s why there are several types of graphic design, each with their own area of specialization. Before we dive into the 8 types of graphic design, let’s start with the basics: What is graphic design? Graphic design is the creation of visual compositions to solve problems and communicate ideas through typography, imagery, color and form. ![]() At Hugh Acheson's Empire State South in Atlanta, “A Study in Pink” is a brighter-hued take on the julep, with bourbon, sherry, macerated strawberry, raspberry, and mint, sold for Derby week only.Īnd as the Derby coincides with Cinco de Mayo in 2018, Louisville’s iconic Brown Hotel envisioned a high-roller julep of its own: the “Agave Julep,” sold at the hotel for a cool $1500. “He takes very little nourishment-only beef tea and a mint Julep four times a day."īeyond Louisville, the “Witherow Julep” at Sean Brock’s Husk in Savannah unites Tennessee whiskey with Amaro Ciociaro and a cola reduction with smoked cocoa nibs and chocolate rye, garnished with chocolate mint from the restaurant’s own garden. “Brother William has been very feeble,” one of my 19th-century relatives penned to another, reporting on an illness in the family. I recently came across a preserved letter, in a correspondence between two Civil War-era ancestors. But there are, of course, any number of ways to experiment with a classic: a standard bourbon, or something more refined sugar, or another sweetener cocktail accents that traditional julep drinkers could hardly have imagined other spirits brought into service.Īccording to cocktail guru David Wondrich, the mint julep’s roots stretch back to the late 18th century, and the drink became a beloved fixture of Southern life well beyond Kentucky, the spiritual homeland of bourbon. ![]() ![]() The classic drink of bourbon and mint, with a bit of sugar and plenty of crushed ice, is an American classic. Yet the julep is a cocktail that wears many hats, if you will. The julep is to the Kentucky Derby as Champagne is to New Year’s Eve, or perhaps as turkey is to Thanksgiving one simply does not exist without the other. ![]() State support leading to trade wars – who plays fairer?Ī look at Boeing’s legacy indicates clear benefits from a strong state, while Airbus is no different. “Boeing continues to face order cancellations for its 737 Max family, whose order book at the time of grounding was worth $600bn.” The grounding, however, didn’t cause a significant impact on the 787 orders and deliveries as the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) allowed US carriers to operate Dreamliners after making the required changes to battery systems in April 2013. The company had an order book of 4,636 units worth $600bn of the 737 Max family at the time of the grounding and continues to face order cancellations from several airlines.Įarlier in January 2013, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet was also grounded due to issues in onboard lithium-ion batteries. Its entire global fleet of 737 Max aircraft was grounded in March 2019, following two fatal aircraft crashes. ![]() Incidents such as grounding due to serious technical issues could mar the reputation and sales of commercial aircraft manufacturers.Īirbus planes have suffered no major grounding issues apart from a temporary grounding of 14 Airbus A320 Neo aircraft in India due to P&W engine woes in 2018.īoeing has had to deal with two major groundings. ![]() Reliability – is Boeing losing out to Airbus in its biggest segment? “Boeing has better diversified segments as well as earns higher margins than Airbus.” This partly explains why Boeing is better placed to absorb any potential financial shocks of multiple grounding incidents that may affect sales. In addition, Boeing doesn’t offer civilian helicopters. Revenue diversification – Boeing has lesser riskĪirbus is more dependent on civilian aircraft for its revenues, with its commercial and helicopters (majorly civilian) segments together contributing a majority share of more than 80% of its revenues, whereas Boeing earns just 60% from the commercial aircraft category. European revenue contribution for Airbus (27.9%) is more than double compared to Boeing (12.8%).Īirbus has been struggling to grow its revenues in the last five years, having registered a CAGR of 0.97% since 2014 compared to its rival Boeing, whose revenues grew almost three times faster, at 2.74%, over the same period.īoeing’s growth was also not at the cost of margins, as witnessed by its 50% higher operating margins (11.85% in 2018) compared to Airbus (7.92%). ![]() North America has been dominated by Boeing for a long time, with the majority of its revenues coming from the US (44.2%) alone, whereas its counterpart earns just 17.5% of revenues from North America.Įurope to Airbus is what the US is to Boeing. The geographical distribution of revenues of the two companies is evidence of just how much Airbus benefits from state support.īoeing’s revenues are concentrated in North America, whereas Airbus is benefitted by European state support. While the quick growth of Airbus can be attributed partly to the boom in commercial aviation, the feat wouldn’t have been possible without state benefits, which the US claims are unfair. Leveraging state benefits – reflection in the geographic concentration of revenues Airbus also earns higher revenue from the Asia Pacific, which Boeing too recognises to be a crucial market for its future growth. The company earns more revenue from Asia Pacific (36.6%) than Europe (27.9%) and the two regions together contribute approximately 65% to its gross revenue.Īlthough Boeing too earns a similar chunk of its revenues (70%) from just two geographic areas namely the US (44.2%) and the Asia Pacific (25.6%), its revenues are more concentrated in the US, unlike Airbus, which has a better diversification. 787 Dreamliner vs A380: cockpit comparisons Airbus vs Boeing : which has a better geographic diversification?Īirbus’ revenues are better diversified and are from markets that have high growth potential such as the Asia Pacific, especially China. ![]() ![]() From sunshine yellow hoodies with inspirational slogans like “you go girl” to leopard print brushed hoodies to plain and simple workout gear, there’s something in our range that she’s sure to love.

Here’s your boon, not that you’ve earned it. “I’d like to put a few obols down for that.” The Fury’s stoic countenance is broken by a smirk. She floats closer to Meg and whispers into her ear. “There’s something I know that might put a wrench in his bet.” Across the room, the Wretched Broker winks. Although,” Dusa looks around to make sure no important shades are nearby. “I mean, he’s done a good job so far with Orpheus and Master Achilles.” Going all the way from couple’s counselor to matchmaker.” “Really,” Megaera hums, taking another drink from her glass. “I heard from Hypnos that Zagreus is trying to get Charon and Hermes together,” Dusa chatters, bobbing gently up and down in the lounge as scintillating light dances from the crystal sphere hanging in the corner.

Zagreus catches it but throws it back to the ferryman. He ruffles through his robes and tosses the coupon towards Zagreus. “Grrrraaaaahhhh,” Charon moans, wavering a bit in the air (a sign of the battle’s tolls). “So, am I too off base if I assume that there’s something going on between you two?” Now that the battle has ended with Zagreus still standing, he dares to ask the question again. No, he was cast into Charon’s little corner of Erebus because he dared to ask a simple question: To be fair, however, this time the battle didn’t start with Zagreus “borrowing” from Charon’s stash.
