Bonjour !

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life… And it's a new year. Meaning it's season two for us. Enjoy 2019 and remember: DON'T PANIC.

Tool • Empathy Mapping: The First Step in Design Thinking

Visualising user attitudes and behaviours in an empathy map helps UX teams align on a deep understanding of end users.

Best practices • Breadcrumbs: 11 Design Guidelines for Desktop and Mobile

Interesting article that allows us to validate some intuitions on the use of breadcrumbs.

Typography • The Value of Multi-Typeface Design

Use 1 to 3 typefa... No ! Use as much faces as you want as long as it makes sense.

Meetup • Webmardi - a decade later

Did you know the Webmardi turns 10 this year? 2019 brings a wind of changes…

Questioning • When Companies Question the Value of Design

If your boss is asking you to quantify the value of your work, you need to understand that your work indeed has no value. Not at that company. Not with that boss.

Case study • Cross-Cultural Design and the Role of UX

Bringing a digital product to a new market can feel like navigating uncharted territory. Cultural differences are hard to identify but essential to understanding when developing a localised user experience.

Point of view • Design System Imposter Syndrome

Design System Imposter Syndrome is real, and it’s probably affecting more designers, developers, and organizations than you might think.

Communication • Feedback in daily communication & design

We must always keep an eye on the kind of feedback coming from each action or event.

January 2019

This month we like

Interactive music video • Mai Lan - Pumper

"Pumper" is an interactive music video designed by TOO SOON for Mai Lan.

Movie • The Florida Project

Over one summer, the film follows precocious six-year-old Moonee as she courts mischief and adventure.

Game • Domina

Epic music, bloody battles! BTW, you also have to acquire, train, upgrade, and whip your gladiators.

Shop • Carbone

The new Carbon shop! Magazines, posters and more goodies coming soon…
