What is punk? Punk today is imagining that the future will be good. What is even more punk? A kid movie imagining that the future will be good.

What if, instead of investing billions in AI, we built a European train network? Here is Starline, a vision by the think tank 21st Europe Isn't that what we all need, rather than robots writing copy for LinkedIn? Isn't this an truly exciting vision of our future?
A map of Europe with a vision for an european railway network named Starline with 5 main lines.

Before: A squarespace website, carbon rating D, basic design. 😑 After: Organic and intuitive design, carbon rating A, powered by @getkirby.com with custom TicketTailor integration. 😀 🦋 omvedgardens.com P.S: Actively looking for new projects to take in 👋

SolarAid's website cover is a clever design. But the image size could be reduced by 96% to speed up loading and reduce carbon footprint. This is one of the most common oversight I notice when assessing website impact.

Adding eco-mode and accessibility widgets on top of a website is like using a paper straw on a plane. Useless. I was really sad to see that extra layer on a great French publication website, because it also makes their design look bad. Such a shame for a publication about graphic design..
