Valery Poshtarov’s portraits of fathers and sons holding hands is a study of “what remains unsaid between men”
Unlike many photographers, this Sofia-based image maker has no interest in making his sitters ‘comfortable’ – instead, he seeks vulnerability.

Generative UI from Gemini 3 Pro - Jakob Nielsen on UX
Google's new Gemini 3 Pro is making waves, but not just for its top leaderboard scores. The real story? Generative UI: interfaces that AI designs just for you, right when you need them. Users overwhelmingly prefer these custom-made interfaces over regular websites (90% of the time!). Sure, human designers still win by a hair, but with AI improving exponentially and humans staying roughly the same, that won't last long.

The National Park typeface is inspired by the carved wooden signs of Rocky Mountain National Park. Designed to capture the unique charm of router-engraved lettering, it modernizes these forms while optimizing readability across print, web, and mobile platforms.
