Posted to Isometric City Builder, Jan 13, 2020 Posted to Twitch Redesign, in reply to Scott Barron , Sep 29, 2019 In case you're wondering, Collins is the studio that helped:
Posted to Best design feedback tool for Sketch?, in reply to Eduardo Tello , Mar 28, 2019 Invision is just quite honestly a poorly made product. Tons of weird issues and poor UX, especially at scale. Plus, it's insanely expensive. You only get 3 projects for $15/mo. Wtf.
Posted to NEW: Mixpanel.com, Mar 05, 2019 Looks nice—but the floating object drop-shadows are pretty intense!
Posted to Stop showing design options and commit, in reply to Andrew Holt , Dec 06, 2018 Be able to defend the design that you make.
Got it.
Posted to Anyone notice the typography trick Google is doing in their Google app in iOS? Compare the "Elon Musk" article to the top one, Oct 21, 2018 Looks like a drop shadow.
...and tbh, since it's on all the elements (image, logo) on that carousel, I think it might be a styling mistake.
Posted to What's your favourite design newsletter?, Oct 16, 2018 Here's a few that I enjoy for design:
Desk of Tobias van Schneider: Great ideas and information directly from Tobias every so often. Scroll to the bottom of his website to sign up.
Minimum Viable Publication: a nice digest of resources and articles from all over the web.
Hey Designer: Weekly: another nice digest of resources and ideas, covering design, development, and more.
Here's a quick list of business-y newsletters that I find really valuable as a designer, even though they aren't design specific:
Hustle Co.: One of my favorite daily breakdowns about the tech-world at large. Not the prettiest, but presented in an entertaining way. Disclaimer: that's my personal referral link for them (I like free stickers.) Click here for their basic website.
Capital Minded: This is a newer one, but off to a great start. Nice design and well curated information.
Angel List Weekly: A surprisingly nice newsletter straight from the source talking about industry trends and more. Bonus: showcases startups that are hiring at the bottom.
Tim Ferris' 5 Bullet Fridays: Just five quick bullet points to think about through the weekend. Delievered every friday.
