Finished reading “Caps Lock”. Although it didn't seed a lot of optimism in me, it gave some support and a feeling of my sanity. As well as the recognition that my design career has been accompanied with an endless line of compromises. #designcareer

Watching the @linkinpark revival show simultaneously gives me an ambivalent feeling of connection and disconnection with my youth. Nothing to do with the vocals, I think it's more about this characteristic millennium sound that needs 2000's context to sound true. #linkingpark

Trashed Midjourney generations while working on a single frame for the upcoming AI video. Painful trial and error and I'm happy it's almost done now. #midjourneyart #midjourney #midjourneyartwork #MJ #midjourney61 #midjourneyV6 #midjourneyV61 #AI #AIart #aivideo #aimovie

By the way, I think #RooseveltIsland is one of the most fascinating and magical places on Earth. I'm so grateful I had a chance to live there for a while and still have a chance to be there often. Here's a photo from my former hallway.

Some of the outtakes. Will never make their way to the final version but cool nevertheless. #AiMovies #AiShorts #midjourney #MJ #AIart

The “Fresh Styles for Web Designers” book says: “Notice how Karlsson’s harsher shapes and muted palette darken the mood of this site”. That’s the type of website analytics that we’ve lost! @y2k_aesthetic @WebDesignMuseum @CARI_Institute #Y2K #Y2Kaesthetics

I've always wanted to complement the music I create with texts and visuals. It's getting easier to handle everything on my own. Working now on the first AI music video for my @gustrecorder project with #midjourney and #LumaDreamMachine. Requires a lot of trial and error.

A simple way to make the day worth it — force myself to neatly document a small supplementary component that's probably not worth it. #designsystem #figma #ui #uikit #designsystem #uicomponent #dropdown #specs #uiguidelines

Creating a perfect black-to-white color scale for a design system can be a lifetime opus magnum for a designer. A lot of theory, math, testing, and practice. And every decade of work leads to a small hue or brightness change ifor that black-500 or black-300

Kids in New York wear baggy cargo jeans. People say Gen Z is obsessed with the Frutiger Aero aesthetic. Shopify officially lets everyone consider beveled buttons trendy again. Looks like the UI design cycle (~10 years) is a little faster than the pop culture cycle (~20 years).

Caps Lock by Ruben Pater @unlisted_roots aside from being encyclopedically useful and engaging is just so beautifully designed and filled with plenty of carefully selected imagery. Awesome thing to own and read.

There is not much space left for display manufacturers to improve aside from that green and cyan portion. And with the demand to break through the noise with something more and more vibrant, there are two ways: either all logos will be green or we’ll revert to minimalism.

One of the late 80s–early 90s pioneers of digital grunge, The Attik. Now it’s almost impossible to find any comprehensive digital archive of their work. There are only some offers of their book Noise here and there.

Today this gem arrived. Featuring my favorites:
@NeubauBerlin, @KurppaHosk, and Nordebrink Studio. The book that unmistakably defines one of the crucial pillars of aesthetics that I like. Thank you @victionary_

The works of Arnaud Mercier, the co-founder of @AREA_17_, are for me the testimonial that it’s possible to develop a very personal and edgy style into the style of a successful agency and expand a rather niche aesthetics to a bigger scale

I don’t remember when exactly I saw came across the works of @NeubauBerlin but I was immediately captured by how their ascetic graphics, almost brutal in their minimalism and rationality, were the distilled expression of what I like in typography and graphics

We are stuck in the trend of oversaturation. Everything that is not saturated enough is considered dull and stale. Monitors are pushed to provide a brighter, more vivid color gamut. That’s a drug tolerance of the contemporary brand design. #Branding #GraphicDesign #LogoDesign

6) A corresponding aesthetical trend on the side of art and photography. “Fireflies” series by William Larson, created from 1969 to 1978 using a fax machine.
