Pantones color for the year is ”mocha mousse”.

After the pandemic it has swung wildly from very bright colors to more ”calm” colors. It feels like this is a return to the kind of millennial pink and millennial grey aesthetic

I've learned so much since making the first one that i want to go back and redo them all with the new knowledge. I hope to be bale to use some responsive typography so the poster is completely scalable.

But right now i'm stuck on the one below.I cant figure out how to get that nice line from the f to the H to the I etc. might need to use absolute positions for that

I was playing around with CSS grids and decided to recreate some typographic posters I had seen on the Futur ’s YouTube channel years ago. I think it turned out quite well and I learned a ton!

Huge thanks to @jensimmons as well since I used her site as inspiration on how to actually solve it.

I know people talk shit about Pinterest but if this is not my aesthetic I don’t know what is

Playing around with #rss feeds and this is the distribution of the latest post per blog in my feed.

What kind of A/B test did I get included in? Why are the buttons on #instagram huge?

This is what bugs me when people say that “design is about solving problems” or that design is meant to help the business grow.

Now the visual hierarchy is all messed up. If the this drives more interaction, which I guess is the point, then we will be stuck with a worse #ux and #ui
