There’s so much hype around designing with AI, and while it unlocks digital potential, it’s not a full production ready pipeline for brands, designers and smb’s just yet. Give me clean vectors. Give me CMYK separations. Give me editable layers. The world still needs to print.

If you're looking for something to do on this beautiful sunny day, head over to @NiagaraArtists and support the opening of my best bud @darbooth solo exhibition aptly titled 'We Are Much The Same' from 2–5pm.

So this
Design is cool because you can be HAVING an identity crisis while WORKING on someone else's identity crisis.

If you run a small agency making websites, keep your stack simple and repeatable. Don’t chase whatever the dev-du-jour is using because it WILL come back to bite you. Living on the bleeding edge can mean death by a thousand cuts. And when you have to go into the project down the road, the tech debt will be the final blow.

As long as @figma doesn’t get rolled into an overpriced @Adobe subscription model it’ll be ok.

Here's to the Form & Affect dogs! 🙌 The video call bombers, office slackers, and masters of unconditional love. Things just wouldn't be the same without Penny, Sadie, Sage, Dixie, and Ava! Happy #InternationalDogDay!

There have been a few projects throughout my career that have really stood out to me - this one is at the top of the list. Check out our case study on the branding, advertising and web work we did for @2022CanadaGames at bit.ly/FA2-N22 #OnceAndForAll #Niagara2022

Where’s the #Web3 crew in #Niagara? Who’s building? I’d love to get together with other creators and talk shop. Been tinkering in the shadows the last couple of years and need some IRL degens.

Puff. Puff. Pass.
Have you heard the buzz? @GardenCityCanna is opening its third location in the heart of Fort Erie! 🌿 Since opening its first store, GCCC has been a huge hit in #Niagara's cannabis scene and it’s been our pleasure to help them get rolling. 🔗formandaffect.com/work/garde…

No one has ever gone to bed upset that they didn’t see enough advertising that day. Slow down and create something worthy of people’s time.

I got my first taste of the double in school. I knew it was wrong, but I had to. The peer pressure. Everyone was doing it. It’s been a long, hard road of typos, anger, frustration, sleepless nights, support groups. But I’m proud to say I’m reformed. theverge.com/2020/4/24/21234…
