Some sketchbooks I like. Pith ‘Pomelo’ - very smooth, creamy paper. Slightly odd truncated A4 format but feels good in your hand

How do the 2026 AI investments compare with the cost for aiding Ukraine, ending world hunger, or even a country’s GDP? This week, our head of communications Lisa sets billions of USD in perspective: www.datawrapper.de/blog/ai-inve...

A bar chart compares large infrastructure costs, economic indicators, and monthly AI investments (in 2026 dollars). Amazon leads with about $16.7B per month in AI spending—roughly equal to the total cost of the Channel Tunnel ($18.6B) and the Gotthard Tunnel ($16.9B). Other monthly AI investments include Alphabet at $14.6B, Microsoft at $12.1B, and Meta at $9.6B. These are compared to figures like the Bahamas’ GDP ($16.4B), the 2008 U.S. bank bailout ($13.1B), and Monaco’s GDP ($11.1B). Additional comparisons include estimated monthly costs to end hunger ($9.7B, with a higher required range), make U.S. public transit free ($7.5B), and aid Ukraine ($7B). Smaller totals include the Burj Khalifa ($2.2B), NASA’s monthly budget ($2B), Wembley Stadium ($1.2B), and NYC free buses ($64.8M).

Ok it's live 😀 We made a website with @benmaps.fr where you can stamp emoji on a 1 million pixel grid collaboratively. It's a bit like r/place but with emojis instead of colors. Figmoji.com Let me know what you think!

The same figma canvas than on the other image, this time with a yellow overlay on designs that were thrown away, and a green overlay on top of what was kept, basically a single screen with 3 small sections.

Plot selection control panel, shipped to prod this week. #uisky

Agricultural land management interface showing a mission view for 'La Ferme des Lilas' in Le Controis-en-Sologne. The left panel displays a list of selectable HSUs (Homogeneous Soil Units) with details like area (15 ha), terrain type (Terres arables), and 6 sampling points. The selected HSU shows detailed information including geology (Limestone), slope (0-5%), land use (Arable Land), production mode (Conservation), and fertilization details. The right panel shows an aerial satellite view with a purple-highlighted parcel overlaid on agricultural fields with visible crop rows. The interface includes options to unlock parcels, impersonate users, merge HSUs, and download data as CSV, with a 'Publish mission' button at the bottom.

I'm not an ai advocate by all mean and I try to use it as little as possible but this visual in particular would have taken me a full day of work on photoshop 2 years ago and I finished it in the time it took me to drink an espresso (double shot)

It’s so rare to find ai used to actually empower artists those days, but COSMOS is doing it right : automatically traces any image you save back to its original creator (+ gives you the year and name of the piece). www.cosmos.so/captions Might drive me away from Pinterest and its ai slop overload…

Two approaches to one problem: how do you design a jauge with thresholds that have variable values, while ensuring optimal readability for any measured value? 1. Change threshold position 2. Adapt scale for each range between thresholds Each has it's advantages and compromises... #uisky #dataviz

Some of the many agricultural-themed custom icons I designed for Genesis. I made them consistent with the Carbon design system guidelines so they would be a good fit with IBM Plex Sans that we use for throughout the platform. #uidesign

A set of 30 agriculture-themed ui icons ordered in a 5 x 6 grid. Some of them are sylbols for plants, flowers or crop types, other stand for agricultural practices such as crop rotation or tillage.

When adding a dynamic dimension to a set of metrics (evolution over time versus baseline), is it better to: 1-group baseline and evolution together for each metric or 2-Have all baselines in one section, and evolution of all metrics in another? I usually go for 1 but here I'm trying 2... #uisky

Playing with this embossed effect for the empty state of dashboard widgets. Small concern: is it too distracting? I feel like it draws the eye even more than the actual content, which is bad for the user's flow I guess?

A section of dahsboard UI with two cards. The first is filled with data about a metric called "Natural habitat". The second has no data, but says : "Activate Cultural Diversity for arable lands. Monitor your farm's contribution to the ecosystem. Farms with higher diversity scores attract more beneficial insects, birds, and pollinators to your land"
