Our transition from Adobe XD to Figma and our research into the concept of the design system is keeping us creatively focused and excited! Here is a really interesting article worth reading on the the future of design systems, from Figma’s blog.

If you’d like to share your interest or input on this hot topic in web design, we’d love to hear from you!

In this piece, we dig into the decreasing gap between design and code, increasing semantics, and one of Figma’s newest features: variables.

BTW READS
Steven Heller - Growing Up Underground

Steven Heller is a big chapter in the recent history of graphic design and illustration. He has written, co-written and edited more than 200 books on design. His insightful, down to earth and humorous critical voice has been a valuable source for design thinking.

From working in underground newspapers and magazines like “The New York Review of Sex” and “Screw” to becoming the youngest-ever art director for The New York Times at 24, Steven Heller delivers with this memoir a retrospective of the 1960’s and 1970’s “underground” design and illustration scene in New York. As well as covering a huge number of historical facts, he also recalls for us the people who influenced the recent history of design, including some of the world’s greatest art directors and illustrators.

We were immersed in an invaluable visual feast of 100 colour photographs. His sharp-witted and self-deprecating remarks made this book a delightful reading experience, an informative resource for design history, an inspiration and a great way to spend your leisure time.

For the fourth consecutive year, Helpe entrusted us with the digital presentation of its annual report on sustainable development and corporate responsibility. Like every year, our goal was to optimize adaptation of both the concept and the information in the multi-page report to the digital environment. It was a challenge for both sides as we had to work with a considerable amount of data in a limited timeframe but the outcome is a definite success.
