These new requirements mean that businesses and banks have to do their best to stop money laundering. To do this, many businesses are resorting to anti-money laundering (AML) software. If they do not comply with the BSA, businesses will face regulatory fines and enforcement actions.

Oh, Hollywood. If it wasn’t for screenwriters and directors with overly active imaginations, would any of us be sitting around even considering the possibility of there one day being flying cars, trains, or buses? Even television shows such as Doctor Who have a lot to answer for in that respect.

One of the biggest problems with looking to the future is that we will, inevitably, be disappointed. When man first landed on the moon in 1969, there was talk that humans would one day live there, and that we would soon be travelling to Mars and colonising other worlds.

The Future of Graphic Design Tools: Creative Cloud and More
As a graphic designer, I’m always browsing the web for inspiration and informative articles.

I recently stumbled upon an article from eCollegeFinder, a portal for online colleges, that questioned whether digital design skill stems from education or natural talent.

To remain successful, a designer has to keep up with changing technology, practices, and trends…” While the article seems to lean towards innate talent being the first step toward success, it got me thinking about how important the advancement of training and technology is to a designer.

So what are the hot topics in the future of design?
