Since Studio Ghibli is trending, worth noting the mind-boggling effort Hayao Miyazaki and his team put into a film.
Each has 60k-70k frames, all hand-drawn and painted with water color.
This 4-second clip (“The Wind Rises”) took one animator 15 months to do.
In the documentary “10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki”, the legendary Japanese filmmaker talks to one of his animators (Eiji Yamamori) after they complete the crowd scene.
The exchange is gold:
▫️Miyazaki: “Good job.”
▫️Yamamori: “It’s so short, though”
▫️Miyazaki: “But it was worth it.”
The animator gets a second of joy (he’s pumped) but on to the next.

🌈 ColorTokensKit is now LIVE 🌈
It's likely the most powerful open-source color system for Swift. It's built on the concept of LCH systems that companies like Linear, Stripe, Zapier, Slack and others use. More below 👇

hex colors are actually pretty easy to understand! i made a short, interactive guide for web developers and designers. feedback appreciated!
colorrush dot io / learn
Created for a design contest 🏆 years ago!
@createwithplay wasn’t available on Mac at the time, so the entire interaction was built solely on mobile🤯.
Now, Play evolved a lot and you can create amazing interactions using native and custom components directly on Play 🙌
@MrNick_Buzz@sashatwitts@figma@alexiadanton@rogie Is it like giving view only access for a developer with *full design seat* license?🤔
[Admins will need to approve upgrade requests from Dev Mode. Viewer and viewer-restricted users can use Dev Mode for up to 14 days while awaiting approval.]

@disco_lu Option 2 ✅ A single component allows you to select the variant and state type from the properties panel.
Option 1 presents all combinations upfront, offering a broader range of choices. ⏳
If I require a danger button, I will generate another bundle. A mega bundle may be 😄
Excited to (finally) release dark mode in @figma .
Behind the scenes, making this happen required some significant changes to our color system. For more about how it works, @pwnies and I are giving a talk about the new system at Config!

And it’s live!
Urban Company’s awesome design system is now an open-source file for the Figma community. Check it out!
Big thanks to @Godgeez@iamjaglan@ridder_mark and @ra9z ; and special love to the co-creator @mayankd_ :)

Holy wow Universal Control is incredible.
This is me moving between a MacBook Pro, an iPad mini, and an iPad Pro using just the MacBook trackpad and keyboard. It's aware of position, lets you drag files, and supports iPadOS gestures.
The hype was real and it all just works 🤯
Design systems folks: Do you recall any nice examples of typography documentation in design systems docs out there that you really like and find inspirational?
Working on typography guidelines, so any inspiration is heavily appreciated. 🙏
#1 thing I'm excited to leverage for the Maven component system 👇
"Slots"
They make it incredibly easy to build extensible components and minimize the total sources of truth within your design system.
Here's a quick walkthrough example 👇
