Took my rusty old film camera for a walk today. I haven’t taken photos in a very long time and I kind of missed it.
It’s nice to change perspectives once in a while!

Placeholder text should never replace labels.

Some designers think placeholders keep forms clean, but they disappear when typing, making it harder for users to recall what they were filling in.

We’re not taught how to express our creativity. Actually, we learn as we grow that we should hide, that art isn’t something that anyone can practice… that’s a lie. Art can be anything. And we should all express our thoughts more often through shapes and words.

I did this during my lunch break.

Bucharest’s metro just redesigned their maps - and not in a good way.
They added black shadows to station names, making them hard to read, and shrank the text without adding any useful info.
Aesthetics shouldn’t come at the cost of functionality! 🤦‍♀️

I was thinking of a way to capture the most essential and simple UX/UI fixes for better designs and I narrowed it down to:

- establish visual hierarchy
- highlight the action
- use enough whitespace

This book covers the topic pretty good. I found it fascinating and it explains thoroughly how this behaviour is still present in our society. Women are still referred to as witches and quote “childless cat ladies”…

I've been debating with someone if the infinite scroll is a dark UX pattern or not.

Pros:
- enhances the UX (social feeds)
- great for mobile
- can be user-friendly

Cons:
- loss of control
- navigation issues
- exploits cognitive biases

What are your thoughts on this?

I've been thinking a lot about accessibility lately—especially how often it gets overlooked in our society. It’s frustrating because, with the resources and technology we have today, inclusion should be the norm, not an afterthought.

I’m here with a recommendation. Lately I’ve started to dig deeper into history books so I’ve come across an amazing biography by Julia Baird.

I would say it’s easy to read and very engaging, giving you lots of fascinating facts about the Victorian era.
