POV: Apple acquires Substack ✨

A quick Liquid Glass experiment made with Apple’s Icon Composer Beta.

What app should I give the Apple treatment next? Drop your suggestions below 👇

iOS 7 was genuinely revolutionary. Clean typography, generous whitespace, and readable text became the foundation for every touch interface that followed.

iOS 26 feels like the opposite, and is accessibility hell.

Experimented with a ‘liquid glass’ look in Figma. It’s gonna take some getting used to, and makes Figma lag like crazy with all the effects! #liquidglass #WWDC #DesignSky #UI

45-minute experimental hero design on the theme of ‘*upside-down’* 🙃

Loved how the display type turned out — huge fan of Fontshare when I need expressive type in a hurry.

Who else is posting about visual/graphic/UI/UX design on Bluesky?
While some of Design Twitter has moved over, I’m really struggling to find the cool visual design stuff here on Bluesky.
If you make (or know someone that makes) cool visual stuff - leave a reply.

Love the rule-breaking overlaps and bold z-index choices from Vino Potable. A clever way to make the visuals stand out and pull focus to the product.

Back to the one-hour UI/UX design experiments! This time with keyhole as the prompt 🔑

Super pleased with how the light peeks through on hover, adding some anticipation for the user.

Experimented today with offset looping patterns to portray circular economies/cities.

In this month’s round-up of cool design things:

• A website that looks like engravings ✒️

• Caring for yourself (through a birb 🐦)

• Silky smooth microinteractions 🥵

• Random pre-2012 iPhone videos 🎥

• How app design changes around the world 🌏

Love this pricing page interaction design from Cursor.

The little shadow/fade on the mask really sells it.

Definitely adding this one to my monthly newsletter of cool finds.

I see loads of “CHECK OUT MY DESIGN!” posts. Instead:

• Give context: Client work, passion project, or experiment?
• Get people excited: What’s interesting or worth sharing? What does it mean to you? Why is it worth someone's attention?

So… what’s your latest design project about?

Reminded today of these beautiful motion graphics by 4096

Hey there. You’ve probably arrived on this page because you know me from my writing at theshellout.com

I have no idea if I’ll use Bluesky. Is joining another social media platform really the answer?

I’m here to find cool things people have designed – hopefully like Design Twitter #designsky
