Adobe Isn't Building for You Anymore
Adobe Max 2026's speaker lineup says everything about who the company is building for next — and it's not the designer sitting in front of Photoshop. When your tool maker finds a bigger customer, the tools change in ways you won't notice until it's too late.
Consistency Is the Craft AI Can't Fake
Autodesk's own AI film had a continuity error no amount of prompting could fix. The real craft AI can't replicate isn't creativity — it's consistency.
'Make More' Was Never a Design Strategy
Autodesk is pitching AI as the tool that helps designers produce more. But in design, output volume was never the measure of value — judgement was.
Why Doing Nothing Is a Design Superpower
A kangaroo designed in 1986 still looks more contemporary than most logos generated by AI this week. That fact alone should give every designer pause.

AI Won't Replace Designers — It'll Expose Them
AI tools promise designers unprecedented autonomy — but that same freedom strips away the collaborative safety net that's been quietly masking skill gaps for years. The real question isn't whether AI will take your job. It's whether you can survive without excuses.
Your AI Sparkle Icon Won't Cut It Anymore
New EU guidelines on AI labelling are raising the bar beyond decorative sparkle icons. For designers building AI-powered features, this isn't a compliance headache — it's a genuine design problem worth solving.
Stop Putting AI Behind a Chat Box
Every AI product ships with the same blinking cursor and blank text box. It's time designers stopped accepting the chat prompt as the default — and started inventing interaction models that actually fit how people work.
