Hello Friend 👋
Here are Seven Things I was curious about this week:
Blog: Design is dead - Why the 'decade of design' may mean its disappearance as we know it.
Design: I was very impressed with the case study on design principles published by Spotify. The result is simple on the surface but has a ton of depth. A combination of characteristics I love.
Design Futures: Sadly, the Design Futures conference PRIMER2020 is over, but you can watch a ton of thought-provoking content on their Vimeo page. Saturday night binge anyone?
AI: Robots may or may not take control of our world one day, but in the meantime, I like to focus on the good that technology can bring. This paper offers a thorough analysis of how artificial intelligence can be used for Social Good.
Teams: No link but an important point: My team reminded me this week that you can really make someone’s day by telling them that you love their work (honestly, of course). Why not think about someone who stood out to you this week and let them know? Better still, do it publicly on LinkedIn.
Web-fix: After adding a sleep timer to my website the improvements continue. This week, I added a scrolling progress bar to blog pages. If you’re keen too, you can get the code from this YouTube video.
Environment: It’s Plastic Free July!
