my brain this morning;

design is art that has to work
design can be artsy
art has more design than design has art
if art is for artists, design is for people

Name a font you hate more than Comic Sans 
I'll start: Hobo

I find UI3 a bit confusing for designers under 13 to be honest

I was admiring illustrators until I saw how they set type

UX designers, how can I sign up for your next-billion-users list? As no app perfectly fits me.

After the design college, it might be hard to find your people in your city. To assist you, The Design Kids provides local communities to connect you with the design industry in your city. You can find your FB group by visiting thedesignkids.org and selecting your city. 👩‍🎨🎨

I wanted to reduce my Instagram screen time, so I deleted it from the home screen and removed it from Siri recommendations. After a few days, my screen time for Instagram had already decreased by 50%. I think we consume what we see, so arrange your environment accordingly. 🤍

My client starting a coffee bar business says there's a competition of coffee cups that people use in their meetings. So I chose violence.

Imagine an app for scheduling group calls that lets everyone choose the best time for themselves and the app finds the time that suits everyone best.

I still think of Adobe Illustrator when they say AI

It never holds on the wall so, I took the opportunity.

There are not many quotes about design that are so true:

"Time heals all designs"

Are there any design newsletters I’m missing? 📰https://teuxdeux.com/shh/lists/qpqyaOJgRmzzkYLcmRlBiyHjYtnIqLak

I wish there was a Discord and Circle alternative made by Read.cv too

Working with people from different disciplines > working in different disciplines

I don’t have the biggest projects in the world, but I have clients who remember my birthday and I think that’s beautiful. I am officially 31 🎂

I need some good multidisciplinary portfolio inspiration. Anyone has favorites?

I want to design Helvetica posters and listen jazz music all day

In less than a minute, Daft Punk will livestream "Interstella 5555" on Twitch:

That carpet makes it so obvious it’s the Istanbul event

This month’s #TDKtuesdays event in Istanbul, we are going to talk about freelancing as a career choice. Let’s connect if you’re around 🤍

If we’re all gonna keep using film look on our photos, what’s the point of developing fancy cameras?

I decided to cancel the useless LinkedIn premium and support read.cv

There are a lot of apps that are worth a one-time purchase, but not worth a subscription, but still trying to sell you subscriptions.

I need a neo-grotesque font designed by a woman. Do you know one?

Happy Sunday, I just stopped by to see what people are creating and what @cindywu is eating today

As a design collector, I see no difference between buying vinyls and graphic memoirs, or even postcards. Just as a musician tells their stories through melodies, here, there are letters and strokes.

I wish Teenage Engineering would design a film camera

The faster we create, the less it fulfills 🥹

I will let Figma traumatize their AI with my designs

I enjoy discovering and listening to design podcasts these days. Please share your favorites with me

This forest reminds me of Pan’s Labyrinth

Weirdest bug I ever seen in Adobe Illustrator

Posts is so resting. I can feel that social media can be harmless when I am here.

Me: I am a designer. 
Them: What do you design?
Me: What do you need to be designed?
