Got sidetracked and now I have a set of wallpapers.

@chrisaalid Nobody reads tooltips.
Nobody watches the video.
Nobody reads the pop-up.

As a user, all you want to do is press buttons and quickly built a mental model of how the product works and see if it actually solves your problem.

[Wout de Jong @dejongwout]

@ppkorevaar @Schiphol @Schiphol Definitly used to be good. But the last couple of years I’ve had the same experience. Toilets are disgusting, lines are too long, and it just doesn’t flow well.

@unhealthytruth Your vaccine propaganda is beyond sickening. Show some class and respect when someone dies.

@daveyheuser Plenty to say about it this is good design or not. But with that attitude it doesn’t even matter. Would never be hired. Not even C tier

@ppkorevaar We need to normalize weeks without meetings

@GergelyOrosz @Schiphol Ik zou hier toch eens naar kijken? Gebruiken jullie naam en dit is gewoon stelen. Niet de eerste keer dat ik dit hoor.

@ppkorevaar Snappy is key

Best series for me? True Detective season 1, Breaking Bad, GoT. Long list of good stories out there.

Recently enjoying the Dune series, Penguin was good.

Lord of the rings was visually incredible. But most of the story was just meh. It wasn’t making me wait for next episode in excitement. Characters never felt like they were doing something they would do, it just felt like the story needed them to do it. Gand Elf? I mean that’s really what we come up with?

Everyone has their thing. And if you love it, great!

@ppkorevaar Hoyte. 🤷‍♂️

That ‘new’ Ajax logo is driving me nuts. Details are terrible. Please fix it.

[Wout de Jong @dejongwout]

@AlexanderNL 10 euro per maand, per gebruiker. There. Fixed it.

[Wout de Jong @dejongwout]

I like the idea.

But this vintage logo really needs work, why not do that? I wonder who is making these calls at Ajax, nothing is stopping Ajax from being this amazing, history driven club that everyone in the world wants to follow. And this is it? This is what’s going to do that for the club? No clean Hedcut illustration, no beautifully simple revisit of the red and white crest.
Take what was good about this and correct the mistakes. Make it inspirational. Instead Ajax went for 200px jpg blowup on a poster, pretending that’s what everyone wanted.

[AFC Ajax @AFCAjax]

Ajacieden, this is our new logo.
