Some sage advice here

@alexeiswirth Gibt immer noch guten Content hier. Jedenfalls von den Leuten, den ich folge. Alles andere sollte man eher lassen 😅

2022 → 2026 Was hab ich auf X verpasst? 👀

@icreatelife On which beta version? I have beta 29.9 and can't update any further :(

🎉Adobe just released Turntable in Illustrator (beta)🎉 You can now rotate 2D vector art in 3D! No Redrawing, just drag the slider and done🤯

@inkko44 @sketch Funny that Sketch is now faster than Figma. Used to be the other way around. What are your thoughts about Penpot?

Officially switching to @sketch✌️

for clarification. (Grok did a acceptable job)

2025 will be the year of Technofeudalism, challenging our democracy. I hope I am wrong, but the current development does not look healthy. #technofeudalism

Happy to anounce our first event of the year. We are excited to welcome @nagare_ip as a speaker at UX Meets! Last Night at the Prompts - AI Tunes on Planet UX meetup.com/ux-meetup-frei… #Meetup via @Meetup #ux #freiburg #uxfreiburg

@nucleoicons user = customer? cause i can't find them?

Just shipped the first batch of 944 'UI Filled Duo' icons! Now available to all our users 🖤

@danmall I stopped unintentionally when I moved to Figma. spwaning Pages. it is questionable whether it is good to host everything externally. but it is more convenient. of course it depends on the size of the project as well. larger projects have their own folder structure still :)

As I was interviewing candidates for my “designer who can ship” position, I asked a few how they picked typefaces. One person’s answer stood out above the rest. They shared their screen to show me a folder of inspiration on their hard drive. Dear reader: the folders structure was immaculate. In that moment, I immediately realized I was talking to a professional. What is it about a clean workspace that signals expertise? Let’s look to another industry that values cleanliness in a workspace: food service. Renowned chef Thomas Keller describes the value of mise en place: “Being organized is a skill to develop… Good organization is all about setting yourself up to succeed. It means getting rid of anything that would interfere with the process of making a recipe or preparing an entire meal.” Here’s the system I use to organize the files on my computer: In general, the way I think about my work is that everything is a project. Every year, I do multiple projects. So, the organizing principle is that every year gets a folder, and every project is a folder inside that year. Every project has this specific structure: Assets: already-created files that I use in the course of the work. I start with fonts, logos, and photos. I might also have music for podcast projects, stock footage for video projects, brand guidelines, access documents, and more. If I’m working with clients, the initial goodie bag of files they send me is usually the stuff that goes in here. Editable Files: Any layered files that might need editing, organized by file type/file extension. Basically any files that I’m actively working on and/or iterating over. This folder has gotten smaller over time for me as more source files move to the cloud and autosave. Even so, for some projects, I’ll save aliases to cloud files to their respective folder because I’m working in them so often. Review & Delivery: Probably my favorite part of this structure. Editable files are great but they’re not always the best way to share something with someone. The best way is usually a rendered and/or export flat file, something like PNGs, PDFs, MP4s, etc. When designers export comps, they often send them to the Desktop or Documents in a way that tends to clutter those spaces. My first favorite thing about the Review folder is that it give you a place to put those exports. My second favorite things about the Review folder is that you can quickly browse the entire project in chronological order by navigating through the Review folder and using Quick Look. This is much easier than looking through source files to find something you might be looking for. Delivery is like the Review, except specific to more “final” things. When I’m working with clients, the Delivery folder is only the stuff I’ve delivered to them, whereas Review is for things I want to review internally with my team before the client sees it. It’s common for me to copy some things from Review to Delivery, and I like the redundancy of having it in both places. The filename format goes {{ FILE CONCEPT }} {{ VERSION NUMBER }} {{ INITIALS OF LAST PERSON TO WORK ON IT }}. It’s a helpful version of a pseudo file check-in/check-out system, especially if you’re working simultaneously with multiple people using a shared drive. Here’s the entire file and folder structure at a glance. Could you see yourself using this? What kinds of file folder organization have you found useful?

@itsolelehmann The question is at what cost? The social consequences will be serious. But democracy is not very popular in the USA at the moment anyway. It's a burden for pure capitalism. Survival of the fittest right?

I'm German. 16 years ago, the EU and US economies were neck and neck. Today, the US economy is 50% larger than the entire EU combined. Here's the devastating truth behind Europe's ongoing economic suicide 🧵:

@buninux @figma figma breaks a lot of stuff that worked before...

Hey @Figma, can we please fix this Spotted this behavior a couple of days ago. Is it just me, or is it happening to everybody?

When customers request a feature, what they most want is a commitment: Yes, we'll do that! And that's the most tempting thing in the world to offer them. But you're better off saying THANK YOU and meaning it, without binding yourself to a specific solution.

I accidentally clicked on "-" and not on "+". either my mouse sensitivity is too high... or my coffee didn't kick in yet. and there was no "undo" button?! thanks, the song is gone and my day is ruined. @Spotify :( and now I'm googling how to find my play history... ah found it.

@Windows win 2k was sweet too

because they're all our babies 🥰

@elizlaraki Sry to hear. I wonder if this was the modest version of all four generated examples (if extended via Photoshop). Can people in the US just use someone's Image and throw it in an AI without their consent? In Europe you would be in big trouble (GDPR) afaik.

I'm talking at a conference later this year (on UX+AI). I just saw an ad for the conference with my photo and was like, wait, that doesn't look right. Is my bra showing in my profile pic and I've never noticed...? That's weird. I open my original photo. No bra showing. I put the two photos side by side and I'm like WTF... Someone edited my photo to unbutton my blouse and reveal a made-up hint of a bra or something else underneath. 🤨 Immediately, I email the conference host. (FYI he is a great, respectable guy with 5 kids at home.) He is super apologetic and immediately looks into the issue. He quickly reports back that the woman running their social media used a cropped square image from their website. She needed it to be more vertical, so she used an AI expand image tool to make the photo taller. AI invented the bottom part of the image (in which it believed that women's shirts should be unbuttoned further, with some tension around the buttons, and revealing a little hint of something underneath). 🤯 — FYI the conference organizers were super apologetic and took down all of the content with that photo.

Apps with GUIs are an inappropriate solution for most problems. If your design practice revolves around making interfaces for apps, you've constrained your solution space to a fraction of its breadth before ever seeing the problem.

@sebastiansebald @jina Great talk indeed. Thx for sharing

What an amazing talk by @jina! Who would have thought that working on a design system is basically like working at McDonald's? 🤯 youtu.be/xlxqbf4s8Tk?si…
