Pause. Think. Design.
First Thing Monday, edition #128
Hey hey, here’s ten things that I thought were shareworthy this week. And yeah, most of it is about AI.
Some interesting thoughts about the Fresh Eyes Effect: “Looking at something with a fresh set of eyes to defy everything that has long been accepted as the norm.”
There’s so much to love about Polaroid’s new ad campaign, ‘The Camera for an Analog Life’.
The power of doing nothing (and why it helps your creative work).
Illustrator Christoph Niemen confronts his fears about AI art. I really really loved this New York Times piece.
“The rise of the AI-native employee means the fall of organizational calories that don’t create value.”
Where should AI sit in your UI? A great overview of the spatial choices to be made when adding AI features into your products.
I got a lot out of reading Jehad Affoneh’s Approaching AI as a design leader.
And finally great article, as always, by David Hoang on how Engineering, Product, and Design are blending.
Thanks for reading,
Ben
