Fellow #designers , I imagine you got into this career because you “liked being creative” and are drowning in AI like me. This article helped me put some of my concerns into poetry. Also, see the photo from a commenter on PROCESS vs. PRODUCT

Today in "beautiful typefaces I didn't know about before"

Chaumont Script from Arnt, designed by Alexandre Bassi !

How mouthwatering is this? Discovered on @fontsinuse.com

And yes, it's open-source so get on that!

One of my biggest struggles in #figma is finding the right page background color…

Do you use the default light grey… then with solid white frames/sections…

Or is it better to use (as my co-worker does) the dark grey page color… maybe that’s better for monitors?

The important things… #designsky

Organizing Figma layer structure is blissful 😍 , a no-AI-please-zone for me

Unpopular opinion? #designsky #designsystems

There was also this fun one of the dog from "Cowboy BeBop"

I believe the panel was about the then-newly-released show on Netflix

Where my banner image came from...

A few years ago I illustrated a set of illustrations for @wired.com 's "RE:WIRED" event. I think there was 8-10 illustrations in total for different topics. Heres a snippet from the intro video showcasing them

Found Japanese “Manner Stamps” poster in a book while on a work break.

Wanted to share. Shown on Tokyo Metro in 2017/18 and topic changed monthly.

Favorite message is “if you’re lost on your phone you’ll be oblivious to those around you”.

The book credits Okamura Yuma, Illustrator.

Digging through the archives also means finding all those posters you haven’t hung up yet cause you apartment isn’t big enough!

This gem is from Muir McNeil , celebrating their “system process form” book launch.

One nice part of cleaning is stumbling on old issues of #wired with stories that resonated.

@virginiaheffernan.bsky.social ‘s writing on technology was always a favorite of mine when she was a more regular contributor . Virginia what are you up to now?

One of the many reasons #oakland is amazing

Does anyone have any start packs of Oakland / east bay #journalists #politicians #communityleaders?

👀 @oaklandside.bsky.social

I would make one but don’t know who I’d put in it!
