Usability test with ChatGPT, branding in UX, negotiating a design salary

Weekly curated resources for designers — thinkers and makers.

“According to psychologists who study landscapes and environments, humans have evolved to emotionally prefer landscapes that allow them to gather knowledge from their environment that will be useful for their survival. Seeking and “eating” information is so important to us, and these characteristics have led us to prefer one environment over others.

Evolution has truly shaped our visual perception to prefer certain landscapes, and these preferences can also be applied to the new virtual 2D landscapes we encounter on screens.”

A portfolio approach to life →
“A few times over the last decade or so, I’ve found myself drawn towards a particular idea about how to use my time and energy. It’s an intentional variety. A collection of experiences. A portfolio approach to life.”
