Dan Mall @danmall.bsky.social · 25/05/2023I’ll start worrying about AI when it can arrive at concepts like the FedEx logo on its own. Here’s the result even with a specific prompt (“a logo with the letters ‘FedEx’ set in the Futura Bold typeface with an arrow in the negative space between the ‘E’ and ‘x’”). 153

Dan Mall @danmall.bsky.social · 18/05/2023When I ran an agency, my DMs were from employees who wanted to know how to leave their jobs and start an agency. Since I shut my agency, my DMs are from owners who are considering shutting theirs. Reminder: you don’t know what your boss/employees are DMing their network. Plan accordingly. 120

Dan Mall @danmall.bsky.social · 11/05/2023I can’t believe I haven’t read “Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow” before now. Incredible story and visuals. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ At this point, I should just have a standing order to read everything Tom King writes. 010
Dan Mall @danmall.bsky.social · 10/05/2023My new favorite thing is logging into my kids’ Google Docs when they’re writing essays for school and typing things next to their cursors like “Hi, it’s Jesus. Repent of your sins.” 210
Dan Mall @danmall.bsky.social · 08/05/2023I’m almost finished building my first full site with Framer, and I’m a believer. Aside from a few initial gotchas I had to get used to, it’s the closest I’ve seen to the software design tools I think we’ll be using in the future. I’ll share more soon, but ask me anything! 210
Dan Mall @danmall.bsky.social · 08/05/2023I learned a new word this morning: Vicissitude: a change of circumstances or fortune, typically one that is unwelcome or unpleasant. Don’t let anyone tell you that comics rot your brain. 020
