I'd say the biggest limitation of Director and ImageReady is that they were discontinued in 2013 and 2005, respectively. Clearly I'm seeing the latest version of this job post 😂

A treat for true typophiles from Delve Fonts: 35% off all their rad typefaces!

After a certain amount of time, doing good work should be default — not a happy accident — for a professional designer. Such mastery frees one up to put all their effort towards doing good through their work instead.

Was looking at Wingdings and Wingdings 2 in the Glyphs panel the other day while seeking icons … these fonts truly are 1990s time capsules! Here's a little graphic I put together as evidence.

Proud to have been among this year's virtual volunteers for Project Resound, an org that brings design to communities in need. We dreamed up a digital hub for the Greek region of Poros & Troizinia-Methana to support sustainable tourism. Wanna participate? projectresound.com/about-us

Bold move in the midst of the ugly gradient trend we are currently suffering. Me likey!

Honored to share my Poudre School District experience alongside these awesome alumni. Had so many excellent teachers — far more than I could name in a single article — back when seeing my art published in a book or hanging in NYC was just a dream. Thanks PSD ❤️

"LET'S ENHANCE" LIVES!!! When I see talk of Adobe's "Super Resolution" feature, all I think of is the "Let's Enhance" supercut from a while back … treat yourself to this 1 min 43 sec masterpiece: youtube.com/watch?v=LhF_56…

Confirmed, I have received the feedback and am actioning on it

As a teacher, I always find it amusing that the students who come up with these supposedly ingenious hacks still wind up firmly in the middle of the pack (or worse). It’s almost as if all that “clever” energy would be better applied elsewhere … perhaps to actual work? 😉

Feedback is cancel culture
