As social platforms reward visibility, creatives are increasingly expected to make their practice public. Designers are no longer just making work; they are the work. But what started as promotion now risks swallowing design itself.
Picture this: You’re in a meeting room at your tech company, and two people are having what looks like the same conversation about the same design problem. One is talking about whether the team has the right skills to tackle it. The other is diving deep into whether the solution actually solves the user’s problem. Same room, same problem, completely different lenses.
We’ve got this pattern on the Set Studio website. It’s three summaries with headings that render in a three column grid which as the viewport reduces in space, automatically stack.
Ensuring your product communicates clearly to a global audience is not just about localisation. Even for products that have a proper localisation process, English often remains the default language for UI and communications. This article focuses on how you can make English content clear and inclusive for non-native users. Oleksii offers a practical guide based on his own experience as a non-native English-speaking content designer, defining the user experience for…
Welcome to this week’s Unicorn Club. If you’re as fascinated by those subtle CSS discoveries as I am, don’t miss Chris Coyier’s journey into animation-composition and stacked transforms. It’s a good reminder that sometimes the ‘aha’ moments come from just digging into how things actually work, not just following docs.
UX Design is evolving. The rise of artificial intelligence has not only impacted how we build and code products but is now influencing how we design user experiences. Just as Andrej Karpathy’s “Vibe Coding” illustrated the power of AI-driven software development, a similar transformation is taking hold in design—let’s call it Vibe Designing.
A few weekends ago, I launched a Shopify app on my own — not to prove I could code, but to solve a real merchant pain point. I had no dev team, no startup budget — just a clear understanding of the problem, a few AI tools, and the instincts of a designer.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard. It acts like a universal connector for AI applications that will allow them to communicate with external data sources or other tools. So instead of building custom integrations for each of these data sources or tools, MCP provides a standardized way for AI models to access the information they need to provide better and more relevant responses.
Let’s learn how to create an SVG viewer with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We’ll be able to write, paste, and edit SVG code, then preview and export the SVGs.
Let’s be honest for a second. Most “free Lightroom preset” packs are garbage. They’re either a bait-and-switch for a paid bundle, or they’re so over-the-top they make your photos look like a cartoon parody from 2014. As a designer, your eye is trained for nuance, for balance, for an aesthetic that communicates something. Slapping a garish, one-size-fits-all filter on your work just feels… wrong.
