The anatomy of an activation: How Figma Commons brought design to the public

On July 31, a huge Figma banner covered the New York Stock Exchange building with a message that read “Design is everyone’s business.” As Figma stepped into its next chapter, we wanted to celebrate in a way that kept that idea front and center. https://webdesignernews.com/the-anatomy-of-an-activation-how-figma-commons-brought-design-to-the-public/

The evolution of five of Adobe’s iconic icons

The challenge of finding the perfect metaphor—one that’s clear, culturally sensitive, and future-proof—is what makes designing these miniature artifacts so fascinating. Look at any software interface and you’ll find a constellation of them, each trying to say something without saying a word.

Reduced to a minimum, they became more abstract and conceptual represe

How to Make Accessibility “Stick”

Accessibility leaders are frequently on the defensive. We’re brought into the room after the design is finished, the code is written, prototyped, or in beta. Every accessibility leader’s nightmare is to find out about inaccessible products by way of litigation after the inaccessible product is already live. With the pressure to ensure WCAG conformance, reduce legal risk, and protect disabled users from harm, it’s easy to default to one word: no.... https://webdesignernews.com/how-to-

A New Way to Audit Design System Usage

Ask HN: How do you tune your personality to get better at interviews?

I just got declined for a job and it has gotten under my skin much more than it should.

(Under the advisement of my lawyer (ChatGPT) I won't say the company's name).

It has really annoyed me; I ended up doing three interviews over the course of four weeks, and I'm pretty confident that I got the technical questions right. It could be that my resume is too "jumpy", which is fair, but they could have read my resume before they wasted my time and theirs with three multi-hour interviews.
