@rogie @BrettFromDJ Something similar to Miro’s talk track. Essentially a way to be able to natively record a demo/walkthrough that I can share with others.

@BMS_Ski2024 Thanks to all the staff who helped make it happen. Oscar had an amazing trip!

@BMS_Ski2024 Lovely. 😍 How’s the snow 👀 ?

Twitter design friends, do have any recommendations for illustrators who might be able to help a client evolve their brand illustration style?

New Showreel Alert! 🚨

I’ve used this opportunity to showcase how my projects are made by focussing on the craft ✂️

#WorldOceanDay is a critical reminder that protecting the ocean is essential to protecting humanity itself. Project Tidal is developing new technology to help us to understand and protect these vital life forces.

Is there a video/animation tool that's somewhere between AfterEffects and Keynote (transitions + magic move) or Figma (smart animate)? No need for anything interactive, simple motion that exports natively to video.

How tech twitter feels right now.

The popular current design style for websites is basically 80s empty VHS tapes. Pretty cool.

Announcing my new book: 'Death by Screens: how to present high-stakes digital design work and live to tell the tale' - coming this spring!

Who is it for, and how can it help? 👇

As a pessimist, you might be right.

But as an optimist, you can actually make a difference.

@harrybr As chaotic as it is, I love the typography as texture. The antithesis of the minimalism typically seen in this space.

@alidriver @figma Cheers. I’m figuring as much. Wondered whether that was some way with JavaScript but haven’t found anything.

[James Bates @jvbates]

Hey @figma experts… hypothetically would there be any way to trigger/automate a Figma action (say, exporting a component) from a button within a prototype? I've looked for plugins, but have drawn a blank. #figma

@chloefinlayson I have this 32” LG that I really like. Not that cheap, but less than an Apple Studio Display - LG UltraFine Display 32UL950... https://t.co/YgpwlPZp0l

@andybudd I think Marty Neumeier is involved over at https://t.co/IVr9yKxRf6
