Soooo many companies are looking for good designers right now. Never had this much inbound.

UX before style guide. Fix the journey, then dress it. Design can’t rescue a broken flow. Action: map steps, questions, wait times, handoffs; solve the ugliest one first.

Start with “your first best customers,” not “total end goal” Niche, win, widen.

If your mission can’t fit on a till receipt, it won’t fit in your customer’s head.

Strategy test: can a junior make the right call without Slacking you? If no, you don’t have a strategy yet.

Messaging pyramid: Problem → Promise → Proof. If your site opens with adjectives before evidence, you’re doing poetry, not persuasion.

Identity systems beat logo worship. If the social content, webpage, or app icon looks weak, the logo doesn’t matter.

I know we have a sane new government, and thank god for it, but I am so relieved to see that some political clowns still exist, enabling the survival of the car crash interview. In this one, Farage pretends he was asked to go to the US by, well, nobody.

Don't ever stop sharing this video. The Tories have ruined this country. RUINED it. All the while lining the pockets of themselves and their mates. #generalelection #JulyToryWipeOut #ToriesLiedPeopleDied

Every single time the Conservatives come to power they increase the size of NHS waiting lists. Please don't let them blame it on Covid or anything else; they were doing exactly the same thing in the 90s. Please RT if you think everyone should be clear on this.

Liberal women spend $4,000 to bash sticks on the ground and scream at a ‘Rage Ritual Retreat.’ The bizarre wellness retreat is designed to help women deal with anger.

I won. I won my appeal. The Luxembourg court has ruled that Jeff Dieschburg infringed upon my copyright when he used my work without consent. Using a different medium was irrelevant. My work being 'available online' was irrelevant. Consent was necessary. 1/
