Think lying in politics should be illegal? Well if like us you think it definitely should support this crowdfunder film to help end this cycle we are in https://t.co/NjZE8LyMB7 https://t.co/9ckKNwDI9Q

@PiersTincknell Was there last weekend. Beautiful isn't it. The money gone in must be eye watering. Randomly saw Sol Campbell relaxing in the gardens 😉 hotel is only 2k for 2 nights so a real steal 🤯

Studio Process💚🌍⁠
⁠
Initial look and feel for a presentation deck design. ⁠
⁠
This deck needs to appeal to high-level stakeholders – mainly in government or private sector positions, as well as reflect the urgency and importance around mangrove conservation.⁠

Studio Process 🤔⚡⁠
⁠
A call back to some initial visuals that never ran their course. ⁠
⁠
These were in support of an International clean air campaign, which thankfully did run with great success, in 2022.⁠

@MrCraigWard We even had it in AI that it looked all CMYK, but if you clicked on the top file menu, the doc went all super saturated in RGB, click off the file menu and it went all CMYK. My money is a graphics card thing

[Jay Bigford @thisisyoke]

@MrCraigWard We have the same thing on one of our new MacBook Pro 14, colours always looking CMYK. Currently in the apple store but they were blaming Adobe. Opening an RGB pdf in chrome still looked CMYK so no way it's Adobe fault

@equinusocio @CharlesPattson @framer 100% After designing and devving accessibility focussed work a fair bit I always think of how many people just wouldn't be able to access this kind of content. Kinda encourages bad habits in both design and build in my mind but hey, party pooper and all that.

@SamanthaRose83 @katylcowan Hey, intrigued by linear... Please can you post a URL? Huge thanks

[Jay Bigford @thisisyoke]

@PiersTincknell Good luck, I too tried and failed to make this part of my workflow. YouTube sells the dream but reality is until it runs full os (which it could, they just want you to buy two devices) it will never be a laptop replacement, for me at least. Enjoy though, it is fun

Walking the walk... Being open and collaborative is the best way to make a positive change. Kudos @Ageing_Better

We've launched a free image library featuring 200+ photos of older women at work!

We're urging the public to use these new photos to improve the representation of women over 50. #AWomansWork

@ecosurety Thanks so much team Ecosurety

A call for clean air🏅 New work! Featured at the World Athletics Championship we would love to share the 'Every Breath Counts' campaign. Air pollution is a hidden threat, claiming more than seven million lives a year so now is the time to act.

On #WorldMangroveDay meet Justin Rakotomanahira and his grassroots community who are committed to restoring and conserving the #mangroves surrounding their village in Madagascar.

Not just for their benefit, but for future generations. 💪🏿🌱🐠

So proud of the Yoke team for their hard work on this report, keeping the visuals tight on such a long technical report is no mean feat. Four designers, one report, let the fun begin.

[Wetlands International @WetlandsInt]

#DYK - With its 2,470 km long coastline, Mozambique is home to about 40% of the #mangroves in the WIO region - supporting over 400,000 livelihoods directly each year? 🌱

A sneak peak WIP for a soon to be release Case Study. ⁠Type ensured a striking and resolute identity, which was activist in look and feel.⁠
