The rise of generative AI has intensified the harms of non-consensual distribution of intimate imagery (NDII). CDT’s recent report examines how 8 major platforms handle NDII—and where their reporting processes fall short. cdt.org/insights/rap...

I had a wonderful graphic design mentor who taught me that every logo should be able to be adapted to a single-color version and a greyscale version.

When we first merged, we incorporated some pinks from @themarkup.org's branding palette into the petals of the poppy. But I wanted to find a more cohesive way to use The Markup's pink tones. I took inspiration from linocut prints and Shepherd Fairey's stencil-like, graphic approach to shading.

I love the CA poppy being a symbol for our guild. It's a resilient wildflower that blooms under the harshest conditions. Flowers have historically always been used as a symbol for solidarity.

New cover illustration for @cendemtech.bsky.social's report on child sexual exploitation and abuse prevention on livestreaming platforms. Art direction by the wonderful Tim Hoagland!
Cover illustration of a smartphone showing a warped grid and a recording button; the phone is surrounded by a “LIVE” icon, a warning icon in front of a cloud of smoke, chat bubbles, image icons, an eye, a video, a voice note; Tetris-like blocks are interspersed between all the elements.
