Have you ever wondered about the origin of the industry you work in? Or how the trade was developed and during what century? Well the other day while doing some research on graphic trends I found a website that was all about the history of graphic design.  I was amazed to learn some extremely interesting facts about what I love to do. For instance, there’s a whole section on how handwriting evolved and developed into print.

I found that this information can help you expand your skills and open your eyes to some great ideas that have been repeated through time. So if you are a web developer, learning the history of the computer sciences and the start of the Internet can greatly benefit you in the long run.
