Also, Design for the sake of play. Design because you like the color palette. Design because it’s fun.

We are currently in AI’s imitation phase, where generative imagery relies heavily on existing references. Instead of just creating something familiar, I’m interested in how we can use these tools to discover entirely new visual languages and push the medium forward.

Na Config 2026, o processo de criação da identidade visual de Brat, da Charli XCX, desenvolvida no Figma, virou estudo de caso. Apesar de parecer apenas um fundo verde com a palavra “brat”, a capa levou cerca de cinco meses para ser desenvolvida. No palco, o designer Brent David Freaney mostrou o arquivo original do projeto, revelando centenas de testes de tipografia, composição e cerca de 500 tons de verde até chegar à versão que virou um fenômeno da cultura pop. A proposta era justamente criar algo que parecesse “errado”, estranho e provocativo, mostrando que, muitas vezes, o design mais simples é resultado de um dos processos mais complexos.

This Japanese restaurant logo is simultaneously a Japanese crane and a hand holding chopsticks.

design has to be in the founding DNA of your company for it to be a forever priority otherwise it won’t seep through every corner of your org like it needs to because it becomes an uphill battle to justify its place you can buy it and hire it, but it won’t be the same

Watch me control my computer with just my voice. This is the future of operating systems. No hands. GPT-Realtime 2.0 is very, very underrated. Demo:

Not Tamil, but if you like these, look up the 20th C Telugu magazine cover artist/illustrator Vaddadi Papaiah. Decades of great stuff that isn't even well known across India.

After photography, art got weird. AI will push creativity even further towards the edges.

Google Sans Flex is the culmination of a decade of design evolution, transforming Google’s iconic geometric typeface into a highly adaptable, multi-script, and now open-source variable font designed to provide a unified and expressive experience across all digital platforms.
