You can use Lightroom Look-Up Tables (LUTs) to improve the look of any photo. They provide an easy way to add all manner of professional effects. They are a must-have addition to every designer’s toolbox.

In my years of experience in UI design and development, I’ve learned a crucial lesson: having data isn’t everything.

I save many things each month that I find inspiring for some reason, and I like organized lists, so I figured I’d share those lists and maybe help someone out of a creative block.

Every generation is different in very unique ways, with different habits, views, standards, and expectations. So when designing for Gen Z, what do we need to keep in mind? Let’s take a closer look at Gen Z, how they use tech, and why it might be a good idea to ignore common design advice and do the opposite of what is usually recommended instead.

There is no such thing as a universal product design process. Every org is different and uses the process that works best for its needs. Yet, it’s possible to establish a general set of actions that (with some alternations) work for many companies.

Something we’re seeing more and more of is the ‘customizable’ site. Most often, this means a button to swap between dark and light themes, but the options are starting to get increasingly sophisticated.

Whether you’re designing a simple website or building complex web applications, security needs to be a priority from day one. Cyber threats like data breaches, cross-site scripting (XSS), and SQL injections are becoming more sophisticated, targeting every weakness they can find

The frontend universe in the post-pandemic world seems to be doing alright, but it is not without reminiscing about the good (not-so) old times when the world had to move online, new tech projects were overflowing, and waves of funding were high. Now, the industry seems to have shaken off the glitter of the gilded era and entered a phase of practicality and simplicity.

If you work in design, you’ve probably already heard of design engineering. It’s not a new concept, and similar roles–such as Design Technologists, UI/UX Engineers, and Creative Technologists–have existed in software development for decades. These roles typically involve individuals with high proficiency in both design and engineering, tailored to meet organizational needs.

A prototype is a draft or blueprint to explore and refine ideas, while the final product is the completed, fully functional version ready for release. Prototypes and final products serve distinct roles, helping teams move from ideas to a completed, user-ready solution. ~Let’s explore similarities and differences between prototypes vs final products.
