In Igbo, we don’t say:

“Omo.” We say Nna ehn!

“Exactly.” We say Gbam.

“Oops.” We say Ololololo.

“Clock it.” We say Owuya/Imakwa

“OMG.” We say Okotorigba.

“Wow” We say Chai

1. “There is no law that says icons must be 24px+”

24px is a convention, not a law. It’s a commonly recommended size because it balances visibility and touch target guidelines, especially on mobile.
But can you go smaller? Of course as long as it’s still clear and usable in context. For example:
•A status bar icon might be 16px.
•Inline decorative icons might go as low as 12px.

What matters? Clarity, style and preference not conformity.

2. “No law says font size can’t go below 14px”

14px is a general baseline for body text readability on screens. But in real-world design:
•Captions often go down to 12px or even 11px.
•Footnotes, table labels, or secondary info might use smaller fonts.
•Some dashboards or data-heavy UIs use smaller font sizes to optimize space, provided they maintain legibility and contrast.

It only becomes a problem when:
•Text is too small and low contrast.
•Users with visual impairments can’t read it.
•You violate WCAG accessibility minimums.

But again, it’s about context, not doctrine.

3. “There is no design law that says you can’t use pure black”

The trend toward dark greys (e.g., #121212 or #333) instead of pure black (#000) is aesthetic and ergonomic, not a hard rule.

Designers often avoid pure black because:
•It can be harsh on the eyes on bright backgrounds.
•It can cause too much contrast and visual strain.

But if your visual design calls for strong contrast or you’re working in a high-contrast mode, pure black is fair game. Just use it intentionally.

“If you don’t understand core design principles like visibility.., you’ll treat conventions as laws.”

Good design isn’t about copying numbers from Material Guidelines or what some designer said, it’s about understanding the “why” behind them. Accessibility, clarity, user context, those are your real rules

If you’re about to start designing an app or planning a site, these 12 quick tricks will help you wireframe with more speed, and clarity

1. Stick to grayscale
Keep the focus on layout, not color.

2. Use only basic shapes
Boxes, lines, and placeholders that’s all you need.

3. Learn keyboard shortcuts
Save hours by mastering your tool’s commands.

4. Create reusable components
Headers, navs, cards, reuse, don’t rebuild.

5. Use layout grids
Maintain consistent spacing and alignment.

6. Wireframe in batches
Work on 2–3 screens side-by-side to catch flow issues.

7. Zoom out often
Get a full view to spot structural issues early.

8. Think in blocks, not pixels
Focus on layout logic, not tiny details.

9. Add quick annotations
Use small labels like “CTA here” or “user input.”

10. Use pre-built UI kits
Start with wireframe templates and tweak them.

11. Start on paper or FigJam
Fastest way to brainstorm and explore ideas.

12. Don’t aim for perfection
Wireframes = drafts. Keep it simple and flexible.

What’s your wireframing hack?

As AI continues to advance and pervade various industries, the question remains: will it replace workers or serve as an accelerator in creating new opportunities for growth and economic development?🤔

[Joseph Brendan @Joe_brendan_]

One of the greatest philosophies from Nietzsche is this;
"People don't want to hear the truth"

Since I read this statement I changed how I relate with humans.

- The drunk does not like to hear that the alcohol is their enemy. They will hate you if you point it out

- The unfaithful husband or wife will swear that it is not their unfaithfulness that is causing chaos in the marriage

- The African or Nigerian will never agree to the truth that their actions is the reason for the problems. There's always a spiritual battle for their village people

- The citizens will never accept a truth about their political choices.

When you see that, people are actually not interested in the truth about anything you will relax more and not argue much. They care about feeling right about themselves more than they care about the truth

Likeability is an advantage. Your life is easier when people like you. But doing things you shouldn’t, because you want to be liked, is a prison.

A few months ago, after I launched my coding challenge, many people messaged me asking if they could still join—but by then, it was already too late.

Since then, I’ve continued receiving messages from folks eager to break into tech.

The more I design, the more I realize that White space isn’t empty.
It’s breathing room for the eyes, for the content, for the user.

Don’t be afraid to leave space.
Your design will thank you.
