We will explore a few challenges and good practices on how to design applications for cars in a way that is actually helpful, rather than something nice to have.You'll learn the fundamentals of UI design, as well as the importance of psychology in design. The ebook also covers the technicalities of modern cars, including cross-platform challenges and sending commands and error handling. Finally, you'll explore essential design principles to help you create intuitive and user-friendly apps that enhance the driving experience. Whether you're an experienced designer or just getting started, this book will equip you with the knowledge you need to create great apps for cars.About Me My name is Lucas and I have been passionate about cars since I was a kid.I have over 12 years of experience as a User Interface Designer and I have worked on a wide variety of industries during that time.For the past 4 years, I have been working in the automotive industry and it has been a dream come true for me. I have had the opportunity to work on some incredible projects and I have learned so much about the industry.One of the highlights of my career was the two years that I spent as part of the core team of the Mercedes me app. I have always been frustrated by the lack of quality in many car apps, so I decided to write this ebook. My hope is it will inspire other designers to create better car apps that truly meet the needs of users.If you want to connect with me and follow my journey, you can find me on Twitter @bonumdesign. I love interacting with fellow car enthusiasts and designers, so don't hesitate to say hi!

What illustration is like? 

Scribble scribble scribble ohhhhh… 

Idea kicks in 🤚🔵🟡

As part of Figma’s little big updates launch, we just added search to the desktop new tab page!

Just hit cmd+t, type, then open a file. It’s super fast and means you can quickly jump back into files without cluttering up open tabs with inactive work.

Figma file taking forever to load? Jump start by sketching out components. (and disregarding typos).

the Whole Earth Catalog, the "proto-blog" publication that inspired people like Steve Jobs, is now published online in its entirety under this cool site. Check it out: wholeearth.info/

I am creating a Figma Plugin!

Using Node.js and TypeScript, I am using js canvas to create a fun gradient spline effect because the Figma gradient is still not at its peak just yet. This project is a work in progress as I learn about Figma plugin development.

Quickly made Threads by Instagram designs for Figma Community. Will add more soon. https://www.figma.com/community/file/1258734577795222986

Hi guys 

Thank you for the resources so far.

I came up with this.
Working in more variants too

I have to say I like being here over than Bluesky. More clam space. 😌😌😌

Area17 did a damn good job with OpenAI's branding imo. Super solid work from them

Now tell me why Apple car play haven’t add alt images or image descriptions when driving.  I can’t stand when someone sending me an image ant or not going to tell me anything what it is. That clearly isn’t accessible at all. 🤣🤣

Got a new book! I can tell went through quite a trip from shipment. 🙃

A prototype I made using SwiftUI, sketch to generate native iOS components for quick wireframing ✍️🎨

What are some of y’all’s favorite design conferences? I’ll be heading to Creative South in a few weeks! https://www.creativesouth.com/

I’m a bit early but made some red bean and black sesame 🥮✨

Anyone thoughts on Google slide, Docs and Sheets redesigns? 👀

it’s wild to me that incredibly rich books like these are just available for all to read. time to solve the world’s problems lol

Getting started on something new today. 😊

Having no internet at home for almost a week made me realize important stuff (I subscribe to too many newsletters and I should unsubscribe to some)

Ya like pictograms? Well you’re in luck, cause Figma asked me and @jory to jabberjaw about them for a while at Config 2023!

We’ll show you the Font Awesome way to stay sane when you draw 30,000 icons 🤪

Hope to see you there virtually or in-person! 🤗
