Here is a take I have
The reason interfaces are becoming playful, customizable and interactive now is to prepare people for the inevitable day where software will be easy enough to build by anyone (we are not there yet) and the only boundary for that (effective self expression) will be out of the way by then.

The way some developers approach design teams is shameful to say the least.

They see writing code not as a conscious choice but great wizardry bestowed upon them by God.

Someone didn’t just genuinely tell me “they will get back to me after checking the feasibility” on whether if it is possible to modify text values in rive. I did export the text and I did provide guidance ahead of time

I have written code, low level code from assembly to your pesky little vue and react.

If you, as a developer, ever used the magical “feasibility” word to get out of work you don’t want to learn to do, please do better.

I understand feasibility exists. But, sometimes we need to draw the line lol

Crashout is done 👍🏿

How are you doing? how’s your mind, your financial security, your people?

As part of a global study, we are asking people in Ethiopia to complete a very short survey on how things are going in their life - mentally, socially, financially - and how you think they're going to look like in the future. It’s quick (3–4 mins), anonymous, voluntary and available in both Amharic and English.

Take a moment to tell us using the link below:

Characteristics:
- words are often replaced with imagery inside sentences/ images just placed inside typographic layouts (without replacing)
- absurdist combination of typefaces (noscripts and caligraphy with sans in the same word)
- bold layouts that encourage people to decode the message
- images may also often be visual puns (peas in orbit on the globe for world peace) and conceptual wordplay (bulbs for idea)
- what ties everything together is, layout needs to be super clean and legible since we are voluntarily introducing complexity with the typeface chaos and imagery

where it works:
- magazine and book covers
- avant-garde site layouts that are made for artistic showcase (not consumer platforms since accessibility fail)
- branding campaigns with a smart and witty vibe
