@hckmstrrahul interesting how you put a super clean cozy interior in the background and suddenly it's a whole new type of UX

@radcraftor that’s most definitely a line. in After Effects you would be having a hard time animating a rectangle as if it was a line sometimes 😂

@dannypostma looking great! would be interesting to hear the benefits of separate space vs living room setup (say in 6 months or even 1 month), as well as the negatives.
Keep hustling!

🎬 Everyone is talking about @rabbit_hmi Rabbit R1, but no one is talking about the video.
👇Here is why I think this product launch keynote video is an absolute masterpiece:

@gombala_design A is for historical events, B is for future events.
A is easy for picking a date in the past, or filtering results between a period, that could go long past in time.
B is easy for selecting a future date.
In the situation of "departure date", I only expect to see option B.

@DannPetty get those portfolios and resumes ready, no matter what. simply put, you can't build a portfolio for a day or two, but an opportunity can knock on the door anytime.

If you have a full-time job with a medium to large design team right now—consider backup plans and get portfolios connections ready. It's always smart.
It seems like weekly now people are messaging me saying they got laid off and struggling to find work and don't know what to do. Pretty decent designers that were making really good money and easily hirable.
I do think it's going to be harder and harder to get a job in design when you don't have one. I mean, that's always been the case.
But there's simply less jobs then there use to be and more and more designers everyday.
But at the same time, the really good designers are going to be overbooked and unavailable eventually so some of those jobs will start to come back.
The days of the larger design teams *may* be at risk of fading away for a bit.
That doesn't mean become a freelancer—that won't be easy either.
Lots of freelancers struggling right now too. We've lost a huge part of a client connection with things like Dribbble slowly fading away and social media just becoming more informative and memes.
It's getting harder and more confusing on how to stand out. Do you share advice? Do you meme? Do you just share work? Do you worry about followers? It's messy.
Don't get scared or worried. Don't get too comfortable either. Just be prepared and realistic. Keep growing. Keep practicing design. Keep connecting. Keep an open mind.
Just keep doing the best you can.
That's all you can really ask for.
