An illustration showing a hand holding a smartphone with its camera app open, capturing an image of a cartoon purple cat. The camera screen displays the cat framed with a square outline, and several facial featuresβsuch as the eyes, ears, and noseβare highlighted with smaller boxes and connected by thin lines, illustrating an AI recognition process. The cat is slightly blurred in the background outside the phone screen, emphasising the focus on the camera's view.
Visual Communication editorial team is on a winter break between 19 December and 9 January. We wish you and our readership a relaxing and resting time during the holidays and all the best for 2026!
