WCAG 3 will use a new color contrast method called APCA (Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm).
It's a big improvement over the current system but there are a lot of changes to get your head around.

David Pocknell, my long-standing friend since the mid-1960s has died. I have never
known someone who sought perfection in everything he did. He was an orderly man of extraordinary talent who touched many lives during his time on this little planet. A sad day and a sad loss.

Very sad to hear that the designer David Pocknell has died. He had a brilliant career as a graphic designer and then developed an equally successful practice as an innovative architectural designer. He died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family.

I regularly see managers complain about the performance of certain individuals who then go on to be outstanding performers at their next job. I’ve come to the realisations that the problem generally lies with the manager rather than the person being managed.

Just because you don’t post work or share it, doesn’t mean you’re not making an impact, growing or producing your best work. The only validation you need is the satisfaction that each new day is a new opportunity to be better than the person you were the day before.

When U&lc went from black and white to colour and lost typographic control and judgment it was over. Open the covers of these b/w versions and you see Herb Lubalin, Aaron Burns, Tony DiSpigna, Ed Benguiat, et al and you know you’re in safe hands. The rest are off for recycling.

So very sad to hear of Sir Terence’s passing. He did so much for Design and through it for all of us - our homes, our culture and our society. RIP Terence.

Text presented white-on-black appears larger and bolder than text set black-on-white. Darkmode’s two variations have been crafted to provide typographic consistency between modes. Read more and try now at daltonmaag.com/darkmode #DarkMode

The art direction is over-trendy, It doesn’t communicate and actually gets in the way of a terrific fact

ICYMI @spotifydesign published an AMAZING overview of how they work in Figma as a slide deck to the community:
figma.com/community/file/832…
And wrote about it extensively here:

Probably the most thorough Figma set up I've seen thus far. 👏👏👏
