💭 Fun Fact
***Pixel Etymology*** - The term "pixel", short for "picture element", was coined in 1969 to describe the individual components of a television image. This term has become fundamental in digital design, referring to the smallest element of an image on digital displays.
🔘 Design + UX
Just enough design (and no more)
We’ll be exploring the work and ideas of Japanese designer Taku Satoh—from chopsticks to children’s toys and imitation sushi for Issey Miyake.
Why toggle switches suck (and what to do instead)
The idea of using toggle switches (over radio buttons and checkboxes).
Figma’s 2024 Config conference just wrapped up, and the team shared several new and exciting product announcements.
When we think about the most impactful designs, whether in print, web, or user interfaces, we often notice a balance and harmony that makes the design attractive and functional.
T-Shaped vs. V-Shaped Designers
Many job openings in UX assume very specific roles with very specific skills. Product designers should be skilled in Figma. Researchers should know how to conduct surveys. UX writers must be able to communicate brand values.
