Fast Company

Featured below is a blog article graphic from Fast Company. The designer filtered the photo to be black & white and then added a nice, bold red curvy-ish line straight through the center. This look caught my eye right away and I thought it would be a great addition to this post. Want to read this article from Fast Company? Please click here or the image below.
