@GuptaSanskritii Use your student id to get 40% on screen studio

@ayrisdesign Yeah, I would’ve done that if I knew ScreenStudio needed a subscription. I already recorded everything there and now I can’t export it. Guess I’ll have to re-record without it, even though it was way more convenient. Let's see. 😅

Does someone own screenstudio subscription? I recorded one whole video and later realised during exporting the video that I’ll have to purchase the whole thing for one single export. 😭 If any of y’all own sub please lemme know, I just wanna export 1 video. 😭

@GuptaSanskritii Try a CEO who thinks her visual taste is amazing

Have y’all ever worked under a senior designer whose taste/design sense is actually not good, but u gotta follow their lead anyways?

@sarvagya_kul Meh not really

a good first date question should always be what’s your dream tells you so much about the other person

@thatjustinjones Japanese pop

What's your go-to playlist for locking in during a work day?

@missbananasart Hyrox you mean?

Day one of getting back to work and my first order of business is changing UI of nested tables. Nice 😃

this is the most satisfying plot twist in tech history

Designers suddenly feel the need to explain that «design is more than just outputs». That itself is a bad sign. Unfortunately, designers cooked it themselves. Designers had a problem I called Figmaism – an obsession with tools and visuals at the expense of other (and more important) skills. We knew hard skills are only a fraction of designers’ competencies. But we still kept talking mostly about new Figma features and pretty visuals to impress other designers (instead of customers). One reason is a defence mechanism - it's easier to hang out in Figma than to face KPIs, OKRs, and roadmaps (AKA the things that actually matter). Designers shouldn’t be surprised that design is being reduced to output because they helped create that reduction. So if designers failed to make the case when the profession had more leverage, I’m not sure why we expect others to buy it now.

@IwuezeAmarachi Focusing on the mortifying ordeal of being replaced is one way to go down as a designer.

To become an irreplaceable designer, focus more on your thinking and ideas rather than on your Figma skills.

@missbananasart Everyone can date given the prerogative of being an effortless flirt

Can a liberal and a conservative date?

@bionicashish ASHIIIIIIIIIIIISHH , HOW ARE YOU 😭😭 this place feels like a barren land my oomfs are nowhere

@ayrisdesign oh boy-- you have a lot of catching up to do

How does one restart their journey in their career after coming out of a long break after an immense burnout? ( asking for myself )

@sarlloc @theo and THATS the issue.

@theo Invalid name. O is crossed

Fuck you

@vibamohan_ It’s a super comprehensive book, you gotta read a topic and go deep into a rabbit hole of that topic to understand it. Going slowly through that book is the way to go.

is Design of Everyday Things still the most popular book about design? if it is, why? isn't it super overrated

@missbananasart Crafting systems

How do you guys keep up with all your hobbies? I cannot 😭

@ormanclark Buy nice or buy twice

good design is expensive, bad design costs a fortune

@kubadesign Works every single time.

Concept designs got me so much work in the past few years. I've been asked multiple times how to get more clients and it's nothing spectacular - create cool stuff everyday, post it (X, LinkedIn), get attention and redirect the traffic to your site with real work and social proof. Pretty much that's all I did and I've been fully booked for at least 2 years.

Figma + You🫵 can move mountains. I love Figma.

@AfolabiDewale Tech will always work, in one form or another, it’s the adaptability and quick action decisiveness

Designers, what’s your plan B if tech didn’t later work ?

@rehanxahmed The long game with the taxes. Registering as a business has a lot of perks.

I see a lot of solo designers getting an agency domain and work under that name Is that a valid move or should i just stick to personal portfolio freelancing?
