Image licensed via Adobe Stock. No, you're not imagining it. In 2022, social media increasingly sucks for sharing content and finding work. Creatives share their views on the way forward. Have you noticed how different social media feels at the moment? More ads. More videos. More Stories and Reels. But fewer posts you want to click on. And less engagement on any content you post yourself.

This year’s selection of the best movie posters of the year once again demonstrates a wonderful array of traditional techniques and styles – photography, painting, collage – and a refusal to homogenise into any singular form. One pleasing commonality: as yet, the world of film poster design has resisted any incursion from AI-generated art.

UI Animation is a valuable skill in a designer’s toolkit. You can use UI animation effects to reduce cognitive load, as well as adding personality and charm to an interface. More importantly, animation will help you overcome language and culture barriers in interaction design. However, if done poorly, animation can seem distracting and even nauseating!

The archipelago of Japan consists of more than 6,800 islands, of which around 280 are inhabited, and in a few places, known as neko-shima or “cat islands,” felines vastly outnumber the human residents. Fishing villages like the one on Aoshima , the most well-known of around a dozen cat islands, introduced the creatures in the early 20th century to combat rodent infestations.

Inspired by the comfort of the classic dog bed, a couple of obviously extremely bored university students designed Plufl, the world’s first dog bed for humans. If you’re thinking that the Plufl is just an oversized dog bed, you’re technically correct, but according to its creators, Noah Silverman and Yuki Kinoshita, it’s much more than that. In their own words, the Plufl was engineered “to provide the optimal napping experience” and “maximize comfort and foster a sense of security, delivering re

If you spend a bit of time in the web design industry, you’ll undoubtedly run into someone who just doesn’t understand the value of what you do. What’s amazing is that, even in this high-tech world in which we live, there are still people who think that anyone can build a great website. Years ago, it seemed very common. As a young designer, I can remember a few co-workers (and even my boss) having no idea what I did.

The original Aston Martin wing logo was introduced in 1927 – when it was more of a wing-shaped wordmark – and has undergone various adjustments since then. In 1930 it was adapted to appear more speedy, and tightened into more of a v shape, and in 1932 it was updated again to the scarab beetle-inspired wing shape it’s retained ever since.

When we design products or websites for people like ourselves, there are many others who are, as a result, left out. From visually impaired users who rely on assistive technology, to people with a temporary injury such as a broken arm, tech users are forever diverse and beautifully unique. The products we design can, and should, reflect the extremely wide range of human experiences and needs.
