No kidding! She's the head of the design division of Sterling Brands, a renowned creative agency; she's spent the last 2 years as president of AIGA, professional association for design, and, if that's not enough, is the author of two new books about design. Millman and her design team use Shutterstock illustrations and photographs for inspiration, design exploration and comps for clients. She says, "We also love that we can download a vector image that can be manipulated, or a hi-res photograph for immediate use. Shutterstock has really helped us raise the standard of our work." How to be a Trendsetter Advice for Young Artists Millman shares her thoughts on design in classrooms, in print and social media. Among her insights is that designers need to study how people behave in the marketplace. "Brand design is not only about design. It is the perfect, meticulously crafted balance of cultural anthropology, behavioral psychology, commerce and creativity." "Do not compromise! Consider what you would do if you knew you would never fail. Pursue this as if your life depended on it, because it does! Your twenties and thirties are not times to be compromising. Do what you love!" shutterstock. Brought to you by
