Who makes the best wall calendars? I'm starting my search earlier this year so that I don't miss out.

@meatballshorti Congrats, Jaime! They're lucky to have you 🙌

Celebrating my first official day as a staff designer at FX Networks! I’ve been freelancing at FX for a little over a year and have had the opportunity to work on some of the best shows out there. Looking forward to more and also looking forward to Disney World! Who’s with me?!

@iElmedin Interesting. How do you organize it?

@grgnn Apple Notes and Apple Photos.

Where do you house your design swipe and inspiration? Pinterest, Notion, "inspo" folder on your desktop?

@Oddernod Just wondering if there are any interesting, new tools to play with. Haven't updated Pinterest in ages, but it's where most of my stuff lives (for now).

@grgnn Live on Behance for morning coffee – sort it in folders and tagged (for now) in Bridge. Looking for something more... automated?

@rogie @_joelmllr @kellaywho 🤯 Nice! It makes sense there (now that I know about it), but I'd probably try and right-click the frame to look for it first.

@grgnn @_joelmllr @kellaywho There is! Considering that you didn't know that, what feels like the best way of doing that? Where would you intuitively go?

Hey Figma friends, when it comes to picking frames in Figma, what would you fix/improve about this workflow? Let's hand some ideas to @_joelmllr and @kellaywho, who are working on this.

@mds I would 💯 watch that tutorial… and take notes.

@grgnn I’ve *almost* designed and animated a loading animation for the “finding an opponent” screen to replace the cycling of placeholder avatars… for a fun figma tutorial.

As suspected, I'm mildly near-sighted and looking to buy my first ever pair of glasses for occasional wear. To my fellow four-eyed friends, are there any pro-tips I should be aware of? Brands to consider? Etc?

@mds Nice! You have fans on our product design team, so I'll share that news with them. 🙌♟️

@grgnn thanks! by the way, i love chess dot com, got super into playing over the last year. 🤓♟️

What's your favorite email app that supports custom domains?

@leoyakxi @letsavee Well-executed good idea > Good idea also Well-timed good idea > Good idea

I have been use @letsavee for like 3 years? But them cosmos pop off, another story of niche and wider market adaptation 😀 Kinda does not matter whose idea it is originally, at all....

@mrbenburns_ I'm a recovering vampire.

@grgnn Hehe you're not a "batcave" kinda guy?

Outside of computers and chairs and stuff, what do you think the most important thing for a creative studio to have? And I mean things... object(s)... item(s).

@mrbenburns_ @jaredpgranger

@jaredpgranger Absolutely agree. Color Bridge was the Bible for me back in the day. Alas, my Pantone set fell victim to thievery. I suspect @grgnn.

Picking out PMS colors today, and I'm always reminded that while there are helpful conversion tools out there that give you a starting point, but don't get you all the way to matching whats on screen to what will be replicated through print. The human eye is still needed.

I keep mine (semi) public: ggunn.com/newsletter

If you don't already, I suggest keeping a professional journal. If only to celebrate your wins.

Capturing fleeting thoughts and sparkly ideas via written notes and then reflecting on them later has been critical to my professional growth.
