Being featured on @Medium right after Macron was not on my bingo card today, but I'm not complaining.

Have some font for thought via a condensed summary of font psychology highlights, along with typeface benefits & downsides in @uxdesigncc. First off, did you know that Serif typefaces significantly increase memory recall? 🔡 uxdesign.cc/getting-type-s…

Ever wonder if your cloud-based tools are safe and reliable - or does it all still seem a bit foggy? Let's get grounded: 96% of all users fail to carry out backups. I've looked at related features and downtimes of two UX-favourites on @uxdesigncc uxdesign.cc/smoke-and-miro…

I really enjoyed this article on value-driven storytelling by @doracee. It's great how Dora uses the elements of a story (the setting, the characters, the plot, the conflict, and the resolution) and shows how it relates it to brand narratives. 💡buff.ly/3vbTiMM

@melindajacobs Thanks for the shout-out, Melinda! I'm really glad you liked the piece. 😊

Wondering how you can bump up usability by 124% with the power of words? This compilation of microcopy best practices (with a breakdown of types & examples) on @uxdesigncc might help! 🖋️ #uxdesign uxdesign.cc/keeping-it-sho…

@honzabilek4 @uxdesigncc Thanks Jan! Totally agree, these patterns are literally everywhere. Personally, I'd love to see a basic ethics chapter/module integrated into every UX course and such to bring more awareness to them, but that seems like a far-fetched dream for now. 🥲

@doracee @uxdesigncc Great article! I believe these patterns are never mentioned enough, esp. with the current state of web.

Borrowing from behavioural science, I wrote about > an 8-step framework for designing persuasive tech (with an ethical approach in mind) & > the 5 primary categories of dark UX strategies. You can read it on @uxdesigncc when you're ready to get psyched! uxdesign.cc/the-secrets-an…

Revisiting the past to find out how nostalgia & retro trends impact design, business and psychology this time - up in @uxdesigncc ⌛ uxdesign.cc/retros-nostalg…

Ventured into the realm of #AI this time & returned with 18 design guidelines (plus a short overview on how to build trust into human-computer interactions) | Up on @uxdesigncc uxdesign.cc/design-guideli…

Should you be in the mood for a psychological deep-dive, I wrote about empathy's role and "building blocks" on @uxdesigncc (also clarifying how it differs from sympathy) 💭 uxdesign.cc/the-role-of-em…

On the topic of creativity, earlier I ventured into art history for some lessons on versatility & progression - also up on @uxdesigncc 🖼️ uxdesign.cc/3-research-bac…

@firmbeecom Thanks for checking it out!

@doracee @uxdesigncc Thanks for this!

If you need some inspo to get out of a creative block, I wrote about how you can use & take advantage of  design heuristics on @uxdesigncc (highlighting 20/40 practical ways to implement them based on research) 🎨uxdesign.cc/stealing-like-…

⏬️ I'm all for AI, but the Turing Test does not allow for editing so that Google engineer got a bit *creative* when claiming AI was sentient. (QRT for ref.) One day but not yet, imo. Also: spreading misinformation for hype was probably not his finest moment.

@reinoud_xyz Excellent! Don't forget the towel.

@CommArts Thanks for the share!

@reinoud_xyz But on the upside, you could sign off every email / card / etc with "so long and thanks for all the fish" (or just say it in person to suss out who gets really confused)? 🐬
