Another experiment: I wanted a new representation of my design tokens, so dtgraph draws them as a node graph. One node per token, one edge per reference.

A few thousand tokens is hard to hold in your head. Much easier to look at.

Even a fictional agency needs receipts.

HUE&CRY puts 47 brands and 320M campaign impressions in the biggest type.

It's 2AM, I worked for another three hours on the halftone shading tonight, and now that's the page complete.

Yes, I have also fixed the text boxes and cut in the stars.

I have reworked page 1 of Issue #5 today with a fresh load of artwork.

It was absolutely fine as it was but this is *better*.

There is a handwritten message for my next session; "Fix the text boxes and cut in the stars."

What that might mean is up to you...

When we were working on Sega Genesis games each of us had a small TV in our cube that we could send our monitor output to in order to see how our dither effects were acting on the target device. Red would “bleed” the most, so one had to be especially careful about its use.

Most agency capability lists whisper. HUE&CRY numbers all seven and turns Digital hot pink.

my armchair quarterback take is that if caine was supposed to be this eerie computer baby that just wants be loved, his design/personality should've been less "wacky deltarune-esque guy" and more "strange ryan seacrest-type homunculus child"

So in the case of MAI quests and other quests clearly delineated up front up by type, the grammar of the content design is right in your face. It doesn't emerge as you play. There is little intrigue as to the structure and rewards of the quest once you get familiar with the categories

Worse part about character design is when you try to mentally craft a body type for a showman type and then cursing that idea because god damnit you just thought of Alastor.

Trying again and then cursing out that one too because... thats Mettaton this time...

A screenshot is the one Figma import you can't edit. UnHTML measures the real page, then rebuilds it as native frames, text runs, vectors and true auto-layout. It also names every font it swapped and every frame that fell back to absolute.

A day at Malik & Malik #Architects. Desks covered in drawings, models, material samples and half-finished ideas. 🫶🏗️

I love these old studio photos because architecture here looks exactly how it feels: collaborative, tactile, slightly chaotic, and always in motion. 🏠✏️

This is a very cool design overall. The coattail wings are a very clever feature.

Upon seeing the demon in motion, I appreciate the musician-like gestures he does. A cool personality to match too.

LOUD has a weight slider.

Archivo runs from 180 to 900; Inter takes the body copy. HUE&CRY is a fictional agency that refuses to whisper.

Most free QR readers open on an ad and want an account before they'll read a code. QRDock opens on the camera. Scanned or built, every code docks in a library that stays on the device. No account, no analytics.
