@Butterworks22 Appreciate it

@raneudesign Neat!

A geometric "T" built from parallelograms. Upward movement, structural weight, modular logic. Sometimes the one you don't choose is still worth showing. Personal exploration → dribbble.com/shots/27272619… #logodesign #brandidentity #geometriclogo #logomark #brandmark #branding

This is really neat but it’s not a design tool as much as it’s a design _production_ tool. The practice of design is mostly about what comes before production. There’s no doubt in my mind that all parts of software production will become automated very soon. Writing code, making web pages, putting pieces of a design system together etc. And that’s fine. I think few people actually enjoy this kind of production work. Wouldn’t it be better if we spent our precious time in life on what is more meaningful?! At the core, the practice of design is methodical; like architecture, not like art. In a nutshell: We find constraints, form comprehension of the whole and propose solutions that honor those constraints. First after that do we enter some form of production phase, usually prototypes first, learn about some constraints that were hidden before, loop back, prototype and then build the production-grade “final” artifact. These last few tasks are quickly losing value because AI tools can do it much faster (not yet better though) than humans. It’s simply just what has the best RoI for a business. Some companies and individuals will continue to spend human time on certain parts of the “production line” as a market differentiator, but it will cost them a relatively high price compared to competitors. Anyhow, I still haven’t seen a tool better than Figma that supports the actually-interesting part of the design process. I wouldn’t be surprised if Figma focused their products on that, maybe separating “products for production” of “products for ideation & exploration.” The latter would obviously still leverage AI, but not to do the work for me but rather to support my efforts the way a therapist helps me live a better life (not living my life for me.)

Tatra System is a concept consulting brand I designed to push my thinking on geometry, modularity, and structural logic. Behance Full case study → tinyurl.com/2m9awphs #BrandIdentity #LogoDesign #VisualIdentity #GeometricLogo #ModernLogo #ConsultingBrand

@danmall MAP. Thanks Dan, appreciate it.

I’m giving away the system behind every big result in my coaching program. For free. This is the exact sequence I used to grow my own agency to $3M. I proved it first. Now I share it freely. Nobody handed me a roadmap. So I figured it out as I went. It worked, but it was slow. I ran my agency for a decade. I hit $3M, working with an amazing team and world-class clients, eventually selling it—all while maintaining a reasonable work-life balance with time for family, marriage, friends, and travel. That’s more than I ever hoped for. And more than many can say. But so much of it was trial and error. Learning by stumbling around in the dark. I didn’t know it was a system. So what could have taken 2 years took me 6. When I started coaching other agency owners, I saw the same pattern everywhere. Smart people. Good instincts. No sequence. I finally sat down one day and tried to map it. My prompt to myself: is there a framework for growing and scaling that I believe could work for every agency owner? My answer is the Money Maker Map. It’s 33 steps over 7 phases. Every step depends on the one before it. It’s the backbone of my entire Make More Money coaching program. It’s the reason my students go from $100K to $1M+. It’s the most valuable piece of IP I’ve ever created. Here’s what I‘ve found to be the 7 phases of scaling a services business: 1️⃣ Baselines — take inventory of where you actually are 2️⃣ Cash Reserve Building — build leverage so you can focus 3️⃣ Positioning — identify your ideal client and your best offers 4️⃣ Proof — establish your reputation as an expert 5️⃣ Pricing — deliver full price offers with confidence 6️⃣ Scale — systematize and hire 7️⃣ Expansion & Optionality — decide where to go next Most agency owners jump straight to Phase 5 or 6. They skip the steps they haven’t earned yet. Then they wonder why everything feels like chaos. The Money Maker Map won’t let you do that. It answers one question better than anything else I’ve built: “What should I be focused on right now?” Three steps to using it: → Find your current step. Be honest. → Commit to finishing the current step before moving on. → Ignore everything past it. That’s the discipline most agency owners are missing. That’s what separates “busy” from “profitable.” My slow learning can be your fast learning. What took me 6 years could take you 1. The Map is free. The discipline to follow it is the hard part. I built this for agency owners doing $100K+ who want a clear path to $1M. Comment “MAP” and make sure you’re following me. I’ll DM you the link.

@creativemints @Kreatank @framer Would definitely like to check if the videos are ready master!

@Kreatank @framer Yes, the whole thing was made in @framer By the way, I am thinking of recording a few videos on this topic and posting some thoughts about creating work like this, do you think it would be interesting?

I’ve kinda learned over the years that the easiest way to get into new software is to dive in headfirst. Right now I’m doing presentations, slides, identity stuff in @framer and honestly I already feel it becoming my native tool. Have you ever tried learning things this way?

@joaopaulots @webflow JP templates have always been my favorite curated no-code templates. Legend.

After half a decade of creating templates for the @webflow marketplace, I'm incredibly grateful for this program, which has allowed me to support my family and pursue my dream job for a significant part of my career. I've seen many companies using my templates to speed up their development process. My work has inspired some designers and I've got good and loyal clients. However, not sure why, the marketplace team has suddenly delisted all my main templates, which has decreased my monthly income by 80%. It was a shock. I remain confused about the reason, as I have been a strong supporter of the company since day one, which has given me many negative thoughts, feelings of disappointment, frustration, and anger. I stopped creating templates for them for a while. In the meantime, I created my own marketplace and learn something powerful: If something can go wrong, everything will go wrong. Lost clients, no money, no team, no income, but nothing to lose, since I've lost almost everything already. Even so, I managed to launch an honest MVP, and after reviewing all my templates, those that were living in a limbo, I've decided to offer full access at a huge discount. Now, anyone can get everything I've created all at once, from the top sellers to my favorite out-of-the-box templates. Buy once, build forever. I'm back to Webflow and the Framer templates. Stronger than never.
