It’s not wrong. But it’s not right, either.

“Creating Fluid Typography with the CSS clamp() Function”
https://www.sitepoint.com/fluid-typography-css-clamp-function/#:~:text=setting%2016px%20(or%20whatever%20value%20you%20want)%20as%20the%20root%20font%20size

It is, however, nice to see that my advocating for less broken fluid type approaches has paid off, even if the handwavy ‘accessibility’ explanations don’t point to my post that first raised them. It’s cool, it’s only my ego (and detailed explanations with examples).

Should designers code?

Brad Frost: "Telling web designers they don't need to worry about code is like telling architects they don't need to worry about steel, wood or physics."

And I agree. I would also say today's developers should also learn proper HTML and CSS, but that's for another time 😁

I'm discovering the Kim-e by CHRONUS Robotics

A wheel chair that allows users to adjust the "standing" position height depending on their needs or situation.

AI art is the new stock image!

• AI images: quick but lack realness.
• Recognizable clichés harm trust.
• They all look the same.
• Lack emotion, pose ethical issues.
• Careful selection key in visual storytelling.
• AI is a tool, not a replacement.

I'll be soon making a watch band for my newly acquired watch.

But in the meantime, here is the latest one I've made for someone else. You'll recognize the Apple Watch lugs 😊

Cognac veg-tan Italian leather with a grey thread to match the chrome of the watch.

The same band on the lugs side. Apple Watch connectors in the same mat chrome metal.
A closer look at the stitches and the strap keepers. Thick and small bands at the same time. The stitching is grey with a french style (diagonal pattern)
The back of the strap. Well detailed. We see the strap keepers back locked with 2 stitch point, which is one more than regular keepers. The overall strap seems solid.

I've made my first handbag last week. Took me 4h of design (maybe more) and 16h of production.

I've made some mistakes and need to adjust the design. But that was fun to make, and I've learned a lot.

Thinking about the wallet company that announced that "at least 30% of our products are bought as gifts." they got this number by assuming that all customers with feminine names were women buying the wallet for a husband, boyfriend or father.

They were totally unaware of their female customers and somehow actively invested in not discovering those customers existed.

Should designers learn to code? Well, not necessarily, but, as soon as you start playing with complex prototyping tools (like Axure or now Figma too), you might want to learn some basics of programming concepts like variables and conditions
