There’s never an outbreak of something nice because good is the baseline. We only notice when reality falls below it. But if you pay attention every ordinary day is full of miracles

So true, and there’s an aspect of this most designers miss. When we price our services, we think in deliverables: logo, guidelines, website. We anchor to scope and hours. What we rarely price in is reliability: the fact that we deliver great work, on spec, on time, every single time. but that’s the thing clients are often very willing paying a premium for. When someone’s launching in two months with a dozen things tied to that date, they’re not buying “a brand identity.” They’re buying the near-certainty it lands. The premium isn’t for the pixels, it’s for NOT HAVING TO WORRY. So if you consistently show up at 100%, that’s not a nice-to-have you throw in for free. It’s the most valuable thing you sell. Price it in.

@LinkedIn 8 months later, still can't get into my hacked account. Have sent verification 10+ times.

something nobody tells you: ADHD in women often looks exactly like depression. you're not sad. you're not grieving. you've just lost desire to do anything. you're always tired. you want to lay down. you can't move. and every doctor will hand you an antidepressant before they ever say the word ADHD.

A quick question to my female friends: Short, tidy nails with clear polish just feel right. I'm so over growing them out and no more colors. Just clean and simple. Who's with me in the practical but "cute" club? To the men- Do you like women with long painted nails?

$GME GameStop is going to unlock a new economy! 🚨🚨🚨 Listen to this segment from Ryan Cohen in today’s All-In podcast. Ryan Cohen announced he’ll use eBay to build a NEW digital marketplace for in-game items. This is something that has never been done before and it changes everything: Every skin, weapon, virtual item, or asset you earn in games suddenly has real-world tradable value. What you own in a game becomes a true asset you can buy, sell, or cash out (just like stocks or physical goods). This is a MASSIVE deal! 
It turns gaming from pure entertainment into a REAL EARNING ECONOMY. Players get actual ownership and liquidity for their time and skill, creators can build thriving secondary markets, and the entire industry shifts toward player-owned economies at scale. @ryancohen is going to finally unlock the gaming economy.

@angelshit I have to believe. Seeing as I was hacked and can’t recover my account

Do you believe in life after LinkedIn

Drop your design studio websites in the comments. Let's drive a bit of traffic into them.

Sorry guys, if you don’t have kids, you don’t fully understand the entrepreneur game. I have 4. Thirty-eight seconds ago, I was changing a baby’s diaper and clothes at NASCAR pit crew speed while simultaneously yelling, “Don’t hit your sister!” Meanwhile, I’m trying to mentally prepare for a sales call to close a deal I’ve been working on for 42 days… that starts in 39 seconds. Business owners without kids think entrepreneurship is hard. Business owners with kids are running a company, a daycare, a conflict-resolution center, a food distribution network, and a hostage negotiation team all at the same time. Wouldn’t trade it for the world.

Brand design is one of the most underrated investments a business can make.

This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.

Am I about to be someones liquidity..stay tuned

Okay this is genuinely insane. SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit. It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain. AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall. They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them. So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth. In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there. And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links." One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here. AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them. And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space. The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally. @SpaceX

Best design agency for branding?

@jappleby @HelloFresh Depraved. Who wants to associate butt sex with food

Okay, this is INSANE & hysterical & just about as viral as l've ever seen a brand social media post. Presented with absolutely no commentary from me, here's @HelloFresh’s pride post. Whatcha think of this? Amazing? Truly crazy?

Design needs whitespace. AI is trained to fill the blank space. That might be one of the core reasons AI-generated design still feels off.

@socoloffalex @alex_barashkov Howww do you do this? I’m a small brand and website designer

@alex_barashkov All of my clients’ social media teams depend entirely on the mini apps that I create for them. Add text, applying effects all without any technical design skills.

the app vs. the final design. we build a lot of micro-apps for our creative workflows, and this is a glimpse into how we use them.
