.@bcliquorstores can you please bring back using local independent breweries to your stores! I sooo miss @smallgodsbrew ‘s Promised lands

@rugbyworldcup The knockout stages are so dumb South Africa v New Zealand quarterfinal. 🤦

[Ted Low @ted8low]

I've been slow on my portfolio. It had been untouched since starting at my current job 3 years ago. 🫠
In the spirit of Thijs post (https://t.co/fi3IWqG5wz excellent starter guide) here's my portfolio in the hope of getting some feedback🤞 https://t.co/a7xoD7DpcD

If you’re looking for #designSystem jobs on LinkedIn through search… don’t. @intodsconf does an awesome job of sharing and reposting jobs on their page https://t.co/1uKBXLvMV4

Brand colours ←→ Colour scales

[Ted Low @ted8low]

Opened it up and saw something wasn’t quite right with the brand mark being sharp vs the softer wordmark so I took the edges off.

[Ted Low @ted8low]

Been working on my portfolio and excited to show a little sneak peek of a brand project I worked on.

[Ted Low @ted8low]

Dia invite anyone?

[Ted Low @ted8low]

Has anyone built a color scale generator operating with #oklch 's color space?

[Ted Low @ted8low]

@staankate Here’s a link to a sample of what I use on Leonardo

[Ted Low @ted8low]

When creating color scales how many steps do you make?
I use 9 but I add 3 on the lighter side that blend to pure white and do the same for the darker side.
Those come in particularly handy when working using them as surfaces.

@staankate 1. I’m using adobe leonardo as a starting off point with and then manually adjusting in Figma to get perceived equal luminosity between steps
2. If you’re working on light mode, you need surfaces that’s why pure white. Same for dark mode and surfaces there

One of the best re-brands judging purely on colour I've seen in a while is @WolffOlins' work for Lloyds bank. Just beautiful. https://t.co/vQzU5aPDAU

The new colour just breathes new light and everything outside of the colour is also exquisite. https://t.co/j7MPZvF9Rx

@Wise in your help section you say "... in the top left of the screen." but I think you mean "...top right...".

[Ted Low @ted8low]

@efedorenko I realized after if I really wanted to I could open up two tabs and do different lightness values…
Since I have your ears! OKLCH integration on the roadmap?

[Ted Low @ted8low]

@efedorenko my colleague sent over the Accessible Palette app and I've just started to tinker with it and LOVE it! I was wondering wether somehow we'd be able to add more steps to the scales? Or if it's something coming in the future? In any case bravo!

[Ted Low @ted8low]

@AppleSupport not sure where to put this... I've received a few products from you couriered by @UPS and they have never ever been delivered to my home every single one I've had to go pick it up from a UPS depot. They've 'tried' but they always leave a note, never ring my buzzer💩

[Ted Low @ted8low]

@Springboks are you going to get this hoody back in stock?

[Bernard Jackman @bernardjackman]

Had a chance to breakdown one of the best defensive displays I have ever seen for @RTEsport this week on #againstthehead . Can’t wait to see what Jacques Nienaber does with the Leinster Defence #RWC23Final

[Ted Low @ted8low]

Biggar shouting "HOLDING" 5 times in the refs ear... I think he heard you mate... #WALvARG #RWC2023
