Not too sure about this one...

Its wild to think that braille isn't a common thing on restaurant menus while it is in ADA standard scenarios. I wonder if braille would just slowly disappear in use if it wasn't being upheld by a regulated standard. #accessibility #designthinking

Just posted an older experimental piece on my dribble account, feel free to check it out!

FONT: Curvature

An exploration of how non-script typography might look without straight lines.

A display type intended to feel light, playful, and friendly.

Finally picked up one of the @jugendingenieur and @CapcomUSA_ pocket operators. Great for photos, even better for music. Can't wait to really dig into it!

Recently finished reading David Gibson's "The Wayfinding Handbook" and Andreas Uebele's "Signage Systems + Information Graphics". I gained so much insight on the industry and the complexity of environmental graphic design! #wayfinding #signage #environmentaldesign

[Kurtis Schaetzle @k_schatzy]

I've been immersing myself into #wayfinding recently and I really wanted to experience being lost and use #signage to find my way. Then I remembered that @geoguessr exists, I can get lost anywhere in the world all without leaving my house!

Just joined the @SEGD , excited to see how I can grow from the opportunities this membership will provide!

You know what we be absurdly useful in @blender_org? Hotkey displays in the toolbar as seen below. I think the main barricade to learning #blender is hotkey memorization in my experience. #ux

Just did a small write up of one of my favorite projects in my portfolio! It's all about #foodwaste in #canada and an idea to mitigate it!

Came across @snohetta over the weekend and I don't think I've ever seen such an impressive company project portfolio before. Super interesting and inspirational.

[Kurtis Schaetzle @k_schatzy]

Hey look at that! I'm not the only person who thinks this trend is weird. #ux

The bad neumorphism tutorial — by @berumendesign https://t.co/cC6ILPXOvD

[Kurtis Schaetzle @k_schatzy]

This great article ties into a thought I had yesterday which was "as a designer, what is 'right' when I'm creating something?" I think there times where there are definite wrong answers but I struggle to think of a singular correct answer in #design.

Writing a design case study? Essential tips here from the @uxcollective team + industry expert interviews on how to focus and stand out (psst! don't just go through the motions) https://t.co/Dx8535XrsF

A while back I took a look into the #uxdesign of the @overwatchleague mobile app. I was looking at ways to improve the usefulness of the app by adding more sorting options, personalization, and reworked menu layouts in an attempt to improve #usability.

[Kurtis Schaetzle @k_schatzy]

Interesting to note is the leading teams in each region (@Cloud9 and @G2esports respectively) have among the most moderate breakdown of years played per player.

@MADLions_LoLEN were quite the outlier though with close to a team of complete rookies performing exceptionally well.

[Kurtis Schaetzle @k_schatzy]

I needed to get some infographic practice in so I decided to look into how years of experience affect players in the #LCS and #LEC

A common thought is the LEC is more successful because of their new talent but veteran teams place higher in LEC while its the opposite in the LCS.

[Kurtis Schaetzle @k_schatzy]

I think it may have something to do with the idea of simulating a tactile experience/appearance on a flat screen. Bevels on touch capacitive buttons just remind me of how much I prefer actual tactile buttons.

[Kurtis Schaetzle @k_schatzy]

Took a read through this article and I'm not sure if I really like this neumorphism trend. It sort of reminds me of the style of design that was common at the start of touchscreens.

I've been looking into still life art and 3D modeling recently which has brought a thought to mind.
Do imperfect visuals have a place in the world of web / UI / brand design or should that be reserved for replications of real life like still life paintings and 3D modeling?
