This is gorgeous! Please credit the artist, whoever they are.

Hey, @Adobe - how about implementing set ‘em and forget ‘em filter preferences for Adobe Stock searches? It’d be nice if we didn’t have to reset ‘em every time.

My 3 favourite resources for learning how to design beautiful user interfaces (even if you’re not a designer)...

I started out as a frontend developer.

When transitioned to UI/UX design, I lacked skills in colour, typography, spacing etc. So I spent time searching for the best resources to sort this out.

Here are the 3 resources that helped me most:

Resource #1: Design Fundamentals by @lauraelizdunn

I loved how Laura gets you from that uncomfortable blank page. And takes you to finished design in a very approachable step by step process.

Resource #2: Learn UI by @erikdkennedy

I loved how Erik breaks down visual design using heuristics that you don’t need a degree to understand.

Resource #3: Refactoring UI by @steveschoger and @adamwathan

I loved how Steve and Adam’s super concise tips take your designs from a 5/10 to at least an 8/10 in no time.

Struggle with a creative project all afternoon only to realize (THUNDERBOLT!!) how straightforward it should’ve been…AFTER I’d logged off for the day. I’ll be beating myself up all night. 😞

@DanielStagner Only all the damn time.

[Neal Katz @pixelologist]

@DanielStagner Gorge-ous!

I really need a full-time gig. Between form “thanks, but…” responses and no-response-at-all responses, it’s damned difficult not to become demoralized.

[Neal Katz @pixelologist]

@julespuptalk Maybe there’s hope for me yet.

Congrats, by the way!! 🥂

@kiltedactivist @freshwaterpurl Good luck!! I’m in a similar position, sadly. Two years and counting…

And it just happens to be in the company's name.

Submit a job application and only later realize you missed a typo in your cover letter. #crap #fml

I spoke with a #recruiter end of last week about a casket company that's looking for a #GraphicDesigner. Followed up this morning via email - said that I was dying to know if there'd been any movement.

Too much? 🤣

[Neal Katz @pixelologist]

@Michal_Zisman Indeed it was!!! I’m dying to see where they’ll take it next season (rumored to be the FINAL season).

#FromMySeat - The Marriott Lincolnshire returns to live theater! Masks and vaccination cards required.

This is shockingly obscene on so many levels with unqualified officials arresting elementary age black children for the non-crime of not STOPPING a crime.

[Ken Armstrong @bykenarmstrong]

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls.

One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails.

Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)
