Alan

Hello, I'm Alan. I am a visual designer of 13+ years, whose recently pivoted into becoming a product designer. I enjoy problem solving and is constantly obsessed with learning how to improve my work. If you are hiring, please check out my website at vlan.design! Thank you!

I love the Lowfree keyboard! I looked into this and the only thing that kinda bothers me is the thick right side, but the mac ones especially looked amazing. the only thing I want to do to further the look is to add these keycaps to it (or any low profile keyboard I decide to land on) worklouder.cc/knob-sans

@stevelauda_ its all fun and games until you're consistently .05 seconds away from that gold medal 😄

Weekend is driving course lesson, in Gran Turismo 7

@LukeADesign oh damn! haha, i bought mine used, the book was definitely loved since it was easy to keep pages open

@im_vlan My dog literally ate a chunk of it, its been through it haha

The only 3 books a branding designer needs:

@LukeADesign im honestly amazed how well i'd been able to keep this book clean haha. my Draplin book is about the same as yours!

@im_vlan Mine is so battered compared to this haha

@stevelauda_ @pizzaboy the clarity is NUTS

@im_vlan @pizzaboy lfg man

I think this version is much much more nuanced than the original and Oli’s vocal is richer and got wider variation. And the tempo is slightly slower than the original. I considered this as an alternate version and appreciated both original and this version too. Wdyt @pizzaboy ?

Web3 finance simplified💸

@AnaArsonist well, I tried 😅

@im_vlan now make jake 🏕️

AAAAADVENTURE!

brand refresh

@hugorcd @vercel vercel really peaked with their brand identity 🔥

In case you were wondering where I work ▲ Great time at the Codex event in London yesterday

@ol_dsn @hckmstrrahul i thought of this the moment i saw that, and yeah it looks 10x better with smaller icons

@hckmstrrahul needs to be scaled to down to let it breath

these toolbar icon grouping is so un-apple like

I ended up installing the iOS 27 dev build on my old 15 pro max and good lord iOS feels SMOOTH. I thought i was having a fever dream with iOS 26 being not as smooth but no this build is 10x better. I'm quite impressed actually.

@ilyamiskov my old 15 pro max is getting the dev beta, but my main phone will stay on the current version

It can’t get much worse, right? 🥺

Thought I'd try and improve this design from last week, did I improve it??

Prompting what I want opposed to spending more time than I'd like to set up a protocol is going to be a major benefit.. so long as we prompt it properly 😅 Shortcuts on iOS 27 is going to be so sick.
