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

I was impacted by the Bungie layoffs today and will greatly miss my team and working on games. I’m looking for a new role as a brand designer.

Big life update: I’m a Dad now. After my contract with Google wrapped up at the end of last year, my wife and I went to Korea to have our baby, and I’m happy to say all is well. Things have been really cool and parenting is not as difficult as the Internet made me fear.

I was doing research on trends in the Strategy Game UI styles. And you can see a clear pattern that starts with simple left or right bar…

Death Stranding 2 is consuming me, I love it. More than the thought of getting a walking pad for under a standing desk while I work, the thought of using a walking pad while playing DS2 is now probably going to put me over the edge to buying one today lol

Just beat the big doggie(s) in Night Reign for the first time (for me) with @fartdirector.bsky.social & @notexactly.bsky.social — played as Ironeye which apparently turns Elden Ring into a third-person action shooter _and I loved it_

Maybe you’ve heard: every font is free! Since fonts aren’t subject to copyright, you can legally ‘pirate’ them if you use a specific loophole! ...except that’s not really true. I’ve seen this claim repeated quite a lot recently, and it’s missing some pretty important nuance. 🧵 A thread:

Alphabet and numbers in a monospaced typeface (MD System Mono, specifically), arranged in a grid. In the bottom row, ‘$0’ (zero dollars) is highlighted in bright red.

Regards/loyalty program that gave points for booting up certain games and buying new ones. I’ve gotten at least $50 of PSN credit from it over its lifespan, you just have to use the “points” for “rewards” (best among them being $5 or $10 of credit)

Hello, happy Friday. I wanted to publicly note that I’ll be moving internationally from Orlando, Florida to South Korea sometime at the end of June or early July with my partner. This is a major move for us and I’m super excited. We’ve lived for months at a time there, but this time, it’s one-way ✈️

I hadn’t cleaned up my files for at least a year, so, it’s sort of like as close as I can get to a spiritual cleanse, a ritual, to wipe away the afterimage or scarred battlefield of old projects — which can accumulate so many files chaotically during their time — and stand ready for something new

High contrast (or luminance) in the game world makes a minimalist UI/HUD a world of pain to get to a good place Plus isn’t it that map called “Dire Marsh”? It’s gloomy. But yeah I did notice it not having a lot of saturation and just believed that was tuned to not overpower or contend with the UI

Finally did some weightlifting after a 16-day break. Depression & anxiety wombo combo’d me. What helped for me was doing a writing exercise last night. Feel like it broke some ice in my brain; re-engaging the neurological pathways towards feeling sadness and anger I was probably suppressing, helps

I guess it’s #PortfolioDay! I’m Rutherford, I’m a type designer running a small foundry in The Hague. We (me + friends) make really good fonts, and distribute them via a model designed to be simple and fair. Studio: mass-driver.com Latest case study: mass-driver.com/article/md-l...

Overview of 15 styles from MD System, my flagship sans-serif typeface. It’s available in 4 widths (the 3 shown here, plus a monospaced version), with 5 weights each, and matching italics.

The design is influenced by 20th-century grotesks like Akzidenz and Helvetica, but designed to feel warmer and more human.

3D render highlighting the four optical sizes (Nano, Kilo, Mega & Giga) of MD Polychrome, my tribute to 1960s ‘digital-style’ typefaces.

A comparison between MD Primer, a typeface influenced by late-1800s sans-serif designs, and one of those designs (Gothic No. 2, from Cincinnati Type Foundry).

An alphabet of swash caps set in my latest release, MD Lórien. It’s a contemporary interpretation of Dutch baroque typefaces, an elegant serif intended to be readable but with a little more ornateness and sparkle than normal.
