@GarrisonFrost @logogeek For whatever reason, backwards N’s are used in design (Nine Inch Nails and Korn logos are two examples). So it’s understandable why some people might read the KIA logo as KN, even though the average person still knows what it’s supposed to say.

The new KIA logo is a nice reminder why legibility matters - “Google searches for “KN car” have risen exponentially as approximately 30,000 people a month are misreading the new logo as “KN” instead of “KIA”.

@logogeek Interesting to know I’m not the only one who reads “KN” every time I pass a KIA dealership. While it does look better visually, it was still a bad idea to implement this as their revamped logo. A possible solution would have been to separate each letter with a connecting line.

Apple admits that OSX isn’t very secure in an attempt to convince a judge against ordering Apple to loosen its stranglehold on app developers and the current monopolized app submission process. #applenews theverge.com/2021/9/10/2266…

@elemntor Looking forward to trying out the changes! Hoping to see future improvements to mobile editing & a simplified approach to margins/padding would be amazing. I seem to spend more time fixing spacing & mobile inconsistencies than anything. Please consider (I know some others agree).

@eekphoto @ckelley @Photoshop @AdobeCare I get the need to save a copy to keep the original file open, but this approach is strange. Like, why is it auto adding "copy" to file names? I'm guessing this is going to break actions, plugins & scripts. And imagine having to manually remove "copy" from large file batches.

@ckelley @Photoshop @AdobeCare I mean who ever wants to save a jpeg copy? I have never ever even needed to do this in 30 years of using Photoshop professionally. I just want to save a bloody jpeg, no muss no fuss.

For the love of… @Photoshop @AdobeCare this is not necessary. Stop changing things that do not need to be changed. I do not want to Save a Copy, I do not want to have to manually remove “copy” from your file names. I just… no. (22.4.0)

@AdobeCare @ckelley Even the simplest of things are overlooked. For ex: why did Adobe do away with the cmd H (hide text selection box) functionality? Currently you can't preview color & font changes to selected text without disabling the necessary "GPU Performance" each time. That's the solution?🤦‍♂️

@AdobeCare @ckelley @adobecare I've shared detailed bug reports to multiple Adobe reps regarding Illustrator Pantone issues, blurry raster exports, no touch bar controls & more. For 2+ yrs I've been given the runaround by many reps who confirm the bugs yet fail to address them. Adobe doesn't "care".

@ckelley @Photoshop @AdobeCare @adobe This file saving change is going to cause all sorts of problems... actions will break, plugins & scripts will require updates, & worst of all it's going to waste huge amounts of time having to remove the added "copy" from large collections of files (ex: logo packages).

@gradiate @studiokoto Looks great. Love your work. You’re one of my favorite design agencies. Just a heads up... when viewing your site on my iphone 10 some of the animated gifs (ex: on the portfolio pages) are getting stuck and flickering between two frames. Figured I’d let you know.

In July 2019 we sat down to start a new @studiokoto website. Our old one was made in the days when we were a team of 6. No we are 60 across Berlin, LA & London, it was time to better represent ourselves and our work → koto.studio.

@stickermule I never received new customers from ads on any platform. Complete waste of money. Most of the ads seem to target fake and non relevant accounts. All of my design clients come from organic seo from my website, blog and referrals. Your giveaways are the way to go.

@stickermule I think it’s great how you give money away to your followers. It’s a win win (Sticker Mule gets exposure and new followers, and lucky participants get some 💰). @ADHD_Rebel

@stickermule Stickermule doesn’t need to buy followers. Your use of giveaways instead of paid ads seems to be working quite well.

@elemntor Please create a more reliable user friendly way to maintain margin & padding between desktop & tablet/mobile views. Maybe an automated option that creates appropriate spacing between elements in tablet / mobile views. I personally find this to be the weak point in Elementor.

since @Adobe chose not to invite me to Max, let me use this opportunity to hit home their subscription model is a monopoly and is abusive for young designers and students who are trying to learn. I know the Adobe team has listened to me before, so i ask you revisit your model.
