Finally did a few quick things on my portfolio: 1. added my Murphy Door project & more images in my Hidden Grove project, 2. updated project thumbs so that they’re colorful, 3. added a dedicated contact button & contact form modal popup. More to come! dmacisaac.com

Today the discord found out that the bluesky logo SVG has — probably erroneously — what they’re calling a benis

This screenshot excerpt of Figma shows a supposedly leaked new ability to create a “Website” I first saw it on LinkedIn but it could have originated on twitter. It feels real, even if things like this are easily faked. Really interesting to me, as someone who worked on a website builder for years…
A screenshot excerpt that shows a small part of Figma’s current UI, specifically the “Create” button and its dropdown menu which shows “Design file” “FigJam board” and “Slide deck” as options. Most notably, this screenshot shows a “Website” option as something that can be created now in the dropdown, and it has an “Alpha” tag next to it, presumably because the feature is still early and is being privately tested.

This is not true or is no longer true; on desktop, there is a link that states “Or continue with download only” on the login/sign-up modal that appears when you press download. On mobile, there is also a download button and it starts the DL immediately. It’s true the link is not prominent on desktop

Learned that I have the same process as the designers at Nothing
Screenshot of a youtube video in which the designers at Nothing discuss their design process for the next Nothing Phones, the closed captions read “kind of messy, I think we don’t know what we’re doing half the time”

You want to know something messed up that Figma does… I made this font with precise metrics so that every glyph has what should be 2 “pixels” of space on either side… so the bounding box ought to reflect that… but there’s 1 more “pixel” on 1 side… and in the case of centered alignment it does this…?

I’m spending some time trying to find camera/phone gear so my wife can record content to advertise her small biz in a very specific manner, in a very confined space, and the bizarre-ness keeps escalating

This first bespoke font I made for Off the Grid features an expanded lower and uppercase character set for Latin & Cyrillic languages, symbols for the UI of the game, stylistic alternatives, 5 weights (with 2 more WIP), and the regular weight is also a quasi-“pixel font” at certain sizes

a screenshot of the 4K edition of Ghost in the Shell where puppetmaster is looking at major kusanagi in the penultimate scenes of the movie and the subtitle “your longing to remain yourself will continue to restrict you.” has been expertly photoshopped in because that line is actually from a proceeding scene that’s not as cool looking

Did you know? When you use a radial gradient orb avatar it makes the profile area of the toolbar look like it has a very satisfying-to-press three dimensional button in comparison to the stark rounded edge icons
Screenshot of the Bluesky iOS app UI where my avatar, being a cool blue and red radial gradient, makes the profile button at the bottom toolbar more fun to press

Still from the trailer for Ghost in the Shell (1995), depicts a green human form in a fetal position floating in a black space with small light particles orbiting it. There is a subtitle that reads: “I’m a life form that was born in the sea of information,”
