Design isn't self-expression and it's not about what makes you feel good.
It's about being obsessively curious about the people you're serving and doing the hard work to make things better for them.

My hot take is that most of us have not adequately processed the trauma of the pandemic. And our sprawling, unprocessed trauma chews away at our brains in myriad ways that make us anxious about why we can’t seem to live our lives as instinctively or as joyously as we did in 2019.

Good design is the inclusion of business thinking. Great design craft isn’t just the execution, but the understanding. The understanding of the business objectives, user needs, & technical requirements. To hone it we conduct both generative & evaluative research (quant & qual).
ALT A graph from IDEO’s Human-Centered Design book (2009). It’s a venn diagram that shows the intersection between feasibility, viability, and desirability. Design innovation happens in the middle with the inclusion and balance of all three.

A good, no-nonsense explanation of why Slack evolved their logo. Love it or hate it, this is exactly how brands should write about this sort of thing. Concentrate on the whys & leave out the geometry dissertations. My only change is that I'd probably put the "TLDR" at the top :)
Ta-da! From today, Slack has a new logo, the start of a general refresh of our look. A little simpler, a little clearer, and (we think) a little better. Read more about this change in the handy blog post we’ve written about it: bit.ly/2Fwr2wb

That’s 74 attendees in one very hot room for the @Psychunimelb #CHDsummerschool | learning all things #rstats, github, comp. modeling, and other “good science” skills from @djnavarro and co.

Hey twitterverse, if you’ve designed conversations flows for chatbots, could you share what tools you love to use? #chatbots #conversationdesign #uxdesign #digitalassistants

Experiences are not just digital.
People will be moving through a number of different channels.
If you're only focussed on the design of the digital channel you don't fully understand the impact your design can have.

Psych/neuro tweeps: we're looking to build a response inhibition experiment (e.g. Stop Signal task) for an iPad which should be relatively easy for an older/elderly adult to open and run at home. What software might you use? I have basic programming skills.
