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.
