🎨Design Guild Onboarding Handbook

As the marketing arm of Ethereum, 2077 Collective strives to produce high-quality content that is also share-worthy. And nothing screams "SHARE ME" like a wonderful visual piece (infographic, banner, etc.)

"Good design is making something intelligible and memorable.

Great design is making something memorable and meaningful."

– Dieter Rams
