πŸ“ XL SIZE: at size 84, this headline is massive. We see details in Georgia that aren't as familiar. It's a whole new font!. πŸ‘Œ NEGATIVE LETTER SPACING: fonts are designed for body text sizing. For headlines, subtract letter-spacing for a tighter, crisper feel.

Showing a bunch of intermediate deliverables in your portfolio writeups?. Plz don't πŸ™ˆ. Instead, focus on RESULTS. If you can achieve the results, it's *understood* you know how to do the process. If you CAN'T achieve the results, it DOESN'T MATTER if you can do "the process".

Reading survey results from 1000+ designers on Design Hacks. Amazing how many are fighting against AI slop. As the sole FTE at my biz, I've only seen the tip of the iceberg. It's bad out there, eh? 😬.
