# Visual forensics, impostor syndrome, UI color system, accessibility checklist

#### Weekly curated resources for designers — thinkers and makers.

“User feedback is always a valuable source of information. But if product designers aren’t careful, user feedback can quickly become a to-do list of features organized by whoever yells the loudest and most often. This not only runs the risk of pulling a product team in dozens of different directions, but also can create a product that is designed by consensus rather than clear vision and a muddied user experience. So, what’s the antidote here?”

A great visualization of how maps in the media [make us more negative about migrants](https://thecorrespondent.com/664/how-maps-in-the-media-make-us-more-negative-about-migrants/738023272448-bac255ba).

### Make me think

*   [**How journalists figure out if all those Ukraine videos are real**](https://www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/03/02/ukraine-visual-forensics/) **→**  
    “Unlike typical newsroom investigations that rely on private data to uncover stories and verify incidents, visual forensics uses open-source, widely available materials, such social media videos and photos, Google Maps, public databases and weather reports, or high-quality satellite images offered through paid subscriptions.”
*   [**Why life can’t be simpler**](https://fs.blog/why-life-cant-be-simpler/) **→**  
    “We’d all like life to be simpler. But we also don’t want to sacrifice our options and capabilities. Tesler’s law of the conservation of complexity, a rule from design, explains why we can’t have both. Here’s how the law can help us create better products and services by rethinking simplicity.”
*   [**What is ‘Gothic’? It’s more complicated than you think**](https://www.nationalgeographic.co.uk/history-and-civilisation/2022/02/what-is-gothic-its-more-complicated-than-you-think) **→**  
    “By knowing this deeper history of some of Europe’s most iconic buildings, travellers can approach these well-known attractions with new eyes and can appreciate that the “East-West divide” isn’t as deep as we are often led to think.”
