why it's a game-changer for developers and designers?
let's talk about something pretty cool that's going on in tech. local-first software. why is it happening? there's a move towards "decentralized systems." in simpler terms, this means breaking away from giant, single cloud systems that hold all the power and control. instead, we're looking at smaller, independent units that can work together but also operate on their own. it's a golden chance to build apps that are not only super modern but also ethical and centered around the user.
zeitgeist-driven business strategy.
here's a tip if you're starting a new business, product, or any investment of your time and/or money. tune into the "zeitgeist" - the spirit of the times. it's the secret sauce that spices up the business world and paves the way to success. think of the zeitgeist as the mood of the moment, a flavor of the era that gives you the context to create something truly 'now.' but here's the catch - it's a bit wild. you'll need years of watching, analyzing, and thinking about the world's changes and shifts.
when design meets passion
there's a point where skill is mixed with emotion, and that's where magic happens. this is the sacred space where design meets passion. design, at its core, is a process of solving problems, communicating messages, and making the world more functional and beautiful. but when a designer brings passion to their work, the results are... magical.
understanding context and its potential
hey, let's talk for a moment about designing for ai, because it's a whole different thing. we've designed rnbw as an ai-driven product from the ground up. for me, it was an eye-opener. i found that it wasn't just about adding ai. it was about rethinking everything. the way we approach design, the way we interact with users - it all changes. it's not about tools or technology. i saw how i could make rnbw smarter, earlier, just by tapping into the power of context.
A love letter to my design heroes
Sometimes, you stumble upon creators who leave an incredible mark on your creative psyche. They seep into your consciousness, swirling their colors, forms, and ideas into your thoughts until they become part of your creative DNA. For me, those creators are Hey Studio, AndWalsh, Teenage Engineering, and the incomparable Neri Oxman. Of course, there are many others, but they are the ones who keep making their mark on me.
Thoughts on AI, XR, UI, UX, etc. Part 2
AI and XR have started a new chapter in UI/UX design where the traditional principles of discoverability, learnability, and feedback are being reshaped. Discoverability is evolving with AI's ability to predict user needs and streamline access to features. A perfect illustration of this evolution is our growing understanding of scrolling. The "above the fold" was a thing just a few years ago.
Thoughts on AI, XR, UI, UX, etc. Part 1
Hello there! I'm Eden Vidal, and I've been a keen observer for the past two decades, closely studying the evolution of User Interface (UI) design. Today, we are in an exciting new era, thanks to the rising tide of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Extended Reality (XR) technologies. AI is a high-form extension of our mind. AI is reshaping our world, revolutionizing how we interact with machines.
F*ck function. Let's make design pretty again.
I mean it. F*ck function, there, I said it again. Ok. I don't really mean it but stay with me, I got a point. Not only is beauty so disregarded in the age of digital design, I feel that the design community also misjudges it. I like to design pretty things, I like to post it on Dribbble or to look at what other designers are jamming, from weather app concepts and dashboards with sexy gradients to Youtube and Facebook redesigns that just look gooooood.
A Brief History of Web Design Tools
And the original sin How much have design tools changed since the dawn of Xerox technologies in the 80s? Have the basic conventions shifted much? Let’s find out that and more. The guys at Xerox probably didn’t have the biggest idea of how far things would go when they came up with the laser printing technologies back in the mid-1980s. However, the world of print and design hasn’t been the same since.
