"For all the noble language around craft and care, the discipline’s main job is usually just to help grease the engine of consumption – with better kerning." A proper cynical take on our profession, from Dense Discovery densediscovery.com/issues/41…

Love how @TheSeanGoodwin's portfolio has a video for a logo. Click it and he talks about what he believes and how he works. As a hiring manager, case studies tell me what someone can do. Hearing Sean talk tells me a lot about how he'd be to work with. seangood.win/

My friend Alfred just shipped his first video game called OMG (Overhead Micro Game)! Single-screen puzzle action with lasers, switches, and creatures. Think Zelda meets Pacman. It's on Steam and the App Store for three bucks: linktr.ee/freddicusgames

This first sentence of Alien: Earth's synopsis reads like modern day society, give or take 3 companies. Love it here... Great show btw
