Not made with AI
I’m exhausted by AI. It feels superfluous in most scenarios I’m seeing it used but maybe I’m being short-sighted. Despite my best efforts, this is a wave (tsunami) I’m struggling to ride and means I appreciate the work people are doing without it even more.
Some things worth sharing this week that were not made with AI:
Laura Meseguer Studio
A lovely website for Laura Meseguer, a distinguished type and brand designer based in Barcelona.
Gallery Sohe
Beautiful work for a furniture gallery in China by workbyworks studio. Say that fast ten times. The brand identity takes a modern interpretation of vintage stamp aesthetic.
Gov Ball
Absolutely love to see small studios killing it at big jobs. In this case, Dazzle Studio working on this year’s festival identity.
Have a wonderful week,
Gabby
Resource of the Week
An exclusive collection of digital design assets, featuring 3D photo-realistic mockups for Photoshop and dynamic web components for the no-code website builder Framer.
Lucky Dip Links
I Don’t Give A Seat
An Instagram dedicated to public transport seat pattern designs. So nostalgic.
Yowie Hotel
I spent a couple of nights in Philly last week and finally checked out Yowie IRL. It’s a concept store and boutique hotel co-founded and designed by Shannon Maldonado. Dream project is an understatement.
Pride Flags
There are a lot of them! This site helps you identify and filter the designs. Fun! Also, happy Pride month 🏳️🌈
Trippy Tunes TV
Spotify doesn’t always hit it, so I bookmark sites that have good music to work to. Add this 24/7 stream to the mix.
Spaces
The folks behind Lovers Magazine recently launched Spaces, their new design ecosystem to help others develop their skills and realize their potential.
Good Sign Offs
An Are.na full of sign-offs that I will be adopting a handful of.
On being a hater (critic)
You should know by now that if Elizabeth Goodspeed writes it, I read it.
Can you taste design?
Another It’s Nice That article and if you love Jingqi Fan’s brand work for MáLà Project as much as I do, it’s a good one.
Candid Classifieds
Apartamento Studios (Berlin) is looking for a graphic designer.
Accept & Proceed (London) is hiring a communications intern.
