What Makes The Bristol Dockyards Rebrand By How&How Actually Work?

Bristol Dockyards just replaced one of Britain’s most recognizable heritage names with something that sounds, on paper, like a downgrade. The SS Great Britain disappears from the masthead.

Watch Baseball Games in Realtime in 8-Bit View

This is kind of fantastic: Ribbie lets you watch actual MLB baseball games “rendered pitch by pitch in a cozy 8-bit view while they happen”.

Ribbie is a simple way to keep a live baseball game nearby. It shows the score, the bases, the count, and a tiny pixel field that moves with the real game.

I built it because I wanted something between a stats tab and a full broadcast. Something you…

The CSS Media Query That Changed How I Approach Responsive Desig

I was working on the responsiveness of my portfolio website when I discovered a CSS media query that changed how I think about responsive design.

I initially thought I needed a way to detect whether the website was being viewed on a mobile device or tablet.

How to Redesign Your Wix Website Without Losing Years of Backend Data

If you've been running a Wix website for a few years, you've probably built up more than just pages. You've got Customer Lists full of real contacts, a Newsletter subscriber base you've grown carefully, and maybe years of Wix Events history. That backend is often more valuable than the design sitting on top of it — and it's exactly what's at risk during a redesign if you approach it the wrong…

Designing for Developers: How I Bridge Code and Creativity

Most developers treat design as an afterthought. Most designers treat code as someone else\'s problem. I have always found myself somewhere in the middle — equally fascinated by clean CSS and beautiful typography. Being both a developer and a designer has given me a perspective that neither group fully has on its own.

How to choose the right rug shape for your space

A rug does much more than add warmth and comfort to a room—it helps define areas, creates visual balance, and enhances the overall design. While colour, pattern, and material often get the most attention, the shape of a rug can significantly impact how a space looks and feels. Choosing the right rug shape can transform [...]

DASH Water Pink Lady Apple Packaging by Horse Is the Collaboration Design of Summer 2026

Some cans you pick up at a supermarket and forget immediately. Then there are cans that stop you mid-aisle. The new DASH Water Pink Lady Apple can, designed by London studio Horse, belongs firmly in the second category. I picked one up at Tesco the moment it hit shelves on June 2, and honestly, I […]

The Best Board Games for Designers: 7 Picks That Are as Beautiful as They Are Brilliant

Most board games look like they were designed by committee. Busy iconography. Clashing color palettes. Typography that belongs in a spreadsheet. But then there are the exceptions—the games that make you pause before you even open the box, because someone clearly cared about the whole thing as a visual object. Those are the board games […]

Val Pavliuchenko on Controlled Expression in Digital Design

Google Design found that expressive design can make products feel more modern, relevant, and desirable, while helping users spot key elements faster. The catch is control. Expression works only when it sharpens the experience instead of competing with usability, accessibility, and familiar patterns. Val Pavliuchenko, founder and CEO of Hosanna Studio, is the kind of […]

Designing Emotional Landscapes: Flora Yu on Turning Digital Spaces into Stories

For Flora Yu, environment design begins before style. Before objects, lighting, or surface detail, she asks what a space should awaken in the person entering it. As a 3D artist working across games, interactive media, and stylized digital production, Yu approaches environment design as a way to translate a game’s emotional, narrative, or educational purpose […]
