I'm pleased to announce that around 200 pages' worth of UI/UX tutorial resources are coming to the Game UI Database for FREE via a brand new blog. No ads. No paywalls. No email signups. Here's a preview of the first piece dropping next week, all about crafting cross-platform control schemes and layouts! Oh, and I think it goes without saying, but this is an AI-free zone.

People overuse "goated." Everything is the greatest of all time? No. I know. Let people enjoy things. It's almost as bad as people saying "ironically" when they mean unironically or "literally" when they mean figuratively. Yea, I know. Language evolves. Thanks for the talk.

Hey @figma, I don't see a way to change edit access for my students. Can I connect with someone on support for EDU?

Shawnee State is proud to welcome our largest freshman class in nearly a decade. More students are choosing SSU for our people, our programs and the opportunities that come with being a Bear. We’re excited to see what the Class of 2030 will accomplish. #PawsUp #ShawneeState

Moodboard 3000 v3.0 is live. It's a @figma plugin that turns a pile of images into a real moodboard in one click. Four layout modes, up to 40 images, free. v3.0 adds subject-aware crops, remixing, video support, and a bunch more ↓

This is a heck of a lineup! I would be star struck to meet half these folks in the nerdiest, brand designer kind of way.

I am not a brand designer. Neither is @ridd_design But when @runwayml announced Solaris, an "interface world model" that generates UI frame by frame in real-time, it got me thinking: If models start streaming our interfaces, does this invoke a brand evolution the way social media did? Tomorrow, we're digging deep into how to engineer a brand universe featuring some of the GOATs behind the most prolific brands: @mlesplmer from @metalab @mikesmith187 from @Smith_Diction @eschadiol from @perplexity_ai @amyhoodlum and Jen Hood from @hoodzpahdesign @thenickpattison from Primary Studio @BrettFromDJ @jameygannon @evilrabbit_+ Daniel Linthwaite from @vercel Going to be a great episode packed full of insights and advice for all things brand design. Join us at tomorrow at 1pm PT. Thanks to our sponsors @NotionHQ, @Lovable, @mobbin and @paper

I've probably said this before but worth repeating: @figma has the best support in the biz. Shout out to the good folks who helped me just in the last week. (I won't @ them so they don't get inundated!)

Auto layout in @figma now lets you adjust auto gap spacing for nested elements for better CSS flex-box parity. Rolling out to all users by August 31st. More here: figma.com/release-notes/?tit…

Logo designers of olde: "Your Majesty, if we add the crown, sword, three stars, oak branches, and the bear the Queen requested, it will no longer read clearly at shield size." Only to hear: "My nephew can make it faster."

I didn't really love The Odyssey. I wanted to, but didn't. I didn't hate it either and there were good moments but mostly… meh.

Of course it depends on what someone means when they talk about "good" movies and there is a lot of subjectivity.

It's weird to me because I see so many posts about how it might be the best movie ever kind of thing and I just feel like, have you seen many movies?

I have four 20ft x 9ft conference backdrops on a @figma page. Full of vectors and zero slowdown. My favorite feature in any software: speed. Thanks, figs. Keep it fast.

Yo @figma! The "updated" autolayout behaves more like content-box on everything instead of border-box. When did this happen? Doesn't everyone just use border-box now-a-days?

so after setting up an html/css version. it is wild. box widths are affected by the border either way. so I don't know now. also possible: I'm not doing it right.

Replying to @figma
or maybe make a toggle border-box / content-box? default to border-box? <3
