Hey readers, Hope you’re safe and happy. Here’s a lil’ list of things that caught my eye recently.
Almost 30 years on, I still love the strategy thinking around Steve Jobs’ famous 2x2 Matrix.
Design Dialects: Breaking the Rules, Not the System - This is one of the best articles I’ve read in yonks about Design Systems.
A really thoughtful piece by Cameron Moll on Delight vs. Delightful.
I swear to god, this is the last think-piece on taste I will ever post (this one was quite good though) - Why taste matters more.
I’ve been reading about Japanese designer Kohei Sugiura over the weekend. It inspired me to create some vibe-coded animation experiments based on his work.
The older I get, the more and more I become a font nerd. The Faces Behind Typefaces is some terrific reading on typographic history.
And while we’re talking type, check out this incedible collection of Milwaukee Transit Passes from the 1930’s-60’s.
And finally, I learnt about Yutori and the art of unhurried spaciousness in life. This is what I love.
Until next time,Ben
