"Why Do I Teach?"
I have been a trainer for over 20 years. Started teaching when I was 19 years old, and continued teaching professionals starting in 1998. I have seen my share of students, all of them with challenges and accomplishments. All of them with similar goals: to learn, get better at their jobs and be more efficient in their workflows. I think everyone can agree that continuing education benefits both the employee and the
company that this person works for.

Repeating some aspects of a design throughout a piece is a great design practice. We use repetition to create a sense of unity and consistency. It can create emphasis, hierarchy, and structure. The more we see something, the more we familiarize with it, and as a result, remember it.
