Would people be interested in a thread of UX, UI and graphic design resources? Been sharing some fonts and other bits and bobs around but I thought I could make a bit of a thread if people would find it useful ☺️
Okay! 1x Design resource thread coming up! 🫡
For context I've been a UX Designer for ~7yrs and working in games for 4. I'm constantly learning / finding stuff and no magically perfect unicorn ninja design guy but this is some stuff I've found useful! Feel free to add your own stuff in replies! ✨

It’s kinda crazy / amazing how important music is to this game / esports. Between the anthems, all the bands Riot has formed out of champs, even silver scrapes. It’s kinda shaped the history of this game in a huge way
