♠ I always liked the old Mac Finder wallpaper, so I decided to recreate it in high-res and make a few variations based on MacOS colours. Download them if you like: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3e15kkj2twfizx3/finder-wallpapers.zip?dl=0

👉 On Saturday it will be exactly 25 years since I set up Stuff & Nonsense.

I’ve got a lot out of working in this industry, and I want to give something back. So, I’m offering one week of my time in January/February free to a good cause, be that animal welfare and conservation, tackling poverty, mitigating climate change, or similar.

Get in touch via DM if you think I’d be able to help. And please share.

The problem with most CSS articles is that the author explains how it works and doesn’t show how it might be used. As CSS gets more and “developery,” there’s a bigger than ever gap between creative inspiration and technical implementation.

👉 I’m gonna be looking for creative work from mid-January. I’d appreciate you sharing.

I have some free time and would love to guide/mentor young (and) designers. I can offer a kindly critical eye over client and personal work, general guidance, and mentorship. This will be a free hour per week to the right people.

DM me if interested. Repost please.

👉 I’ve just just had a project I had planned for October/November pushed back until next year. So I’m available for design projects. Please get in touch if you need creative and UX help for products and websites.

Boosts appreciated.

👉 I have a barely used, just serviced Gaggia Classic espresso machine for sale. They can go for around £250–300 on eBay, but as I’d rather not have the hassle of shipping, I’d accept £175. Any takers?

👀 Look. If you want a big laugh, tune into the latest episode of One Footer in the Grave. Gotta say, it’s a humdinger!

👉 I’m pondering the idea of setting up a small group for designers who work alone and would like to help each other with design critique, feedback, help, moral support. There would be a Slack channel and a weekly Zoom drop in.

What do you think?

👉 New on S&N: Election 2024: Imagining what I’d make if Count Binface came calling

The Count has obviously been too busy conquering the galaxy to get his website ready for the election, so I imagined what I’d make if Count Binface came calling.

👉 NEW: One Footer in the Grave Episode 14: Scarlett Johansson is in the room

Andy, Jon, Marcus, and Paul are back—sooner than expected—for another fun-packed episode. They talk about who’s voice they’d each like as an AI companion, Apple, Apple’s new iPads and why devices are now so thin that they crack when Andy sits on them. Then, inevitably, they discuss what they think about the new Dr Who.

👉 I still need to tidy a few things up, but I’ll launch my weekly online design feedback meetings later today. The idea is for a Zoom call once a week where people can show their work in progress and get constructive, friendly feedback from whoever wants to give it. Or, they can sit back, watch, and learn.

(The booking system works if you’d like to attend. I’d like to make it free, but I’m charging just £5 to help prevent no-shows.)
