What of their attire that comes with their trance– maybe like a higher class change? But what do you think of that? Say Kuja’s trance explodes of fur like feathers. Steiner appears to take on a more ‘knightly’ armored appearance, as does the Ms. Dragon Knight for examples.

        104 fumbles clumsily through a drawer of index cards, before pulling out the relevant answer. “Ah, err, it says, ʎlǝʞᴉl sᴉ ( sǝsɐɔ uᴉ ʇᴉ ɟo ʞɔɐl ɹo) ƃuᴉɥʇolɔ ɟo ǝɔuɐɹɐǝddɐ ǝɥʇ--”

     Turning the index card around the right way, he continues, “the appearance of clothing (or lack of it in cases) is likely another difference between Terran and Gaian Trance. Neither Zidane nor Kuja retain their clothes in Trance, while the rest of the party does. Except Amarant, who is reduced to wearing nothing but a thong-- Oh dear.”

mintberry magic hour

🌸 when we collaborate, candy elle makes shit better.

🌸 a conversation with candy elle has absolutely changed how a project turned out; it happens all the time, like when mintberry needed a plus model for the daytime line and jessie handled the fits but candy elle picked the textures and styles that made shit work; she even helped with the mintberry night shoot after sugarplum release.

What do you prefer for my designs to resemble?

Official design in my style

Vibe of the official design/character

Environment based

bit of both words: comic starts with op2 then changes to op3

See results/other (specify if you can)

Voting ended onOct 29, 2024

(day 21) Quick question, I'm working on Lauren's redesign/my take on her design and I was wondering if you guys prefer if these look closer to the official design to their vibe or what they realistically would wear?

ex: Lauren's official design her outfit more german vibing clothes, I give some examples in keep reading, or you prefer more desert themed ones but less like her official? I like to make outfit based on vibe mixed with environment but I was thinking what would you guys prefer? (This will not apply to my Pris design that I already made)

Official design (I would draw more the card design that give to me more of a germanesk traditional, kinda hand madeish vibe, like cottagecore)

And I couldn't get very good desert clothes representation but something similar to this, flowy clothes and I would go more modest as well, Tumblr doesn't let you upload many pictures but I hope you can get the idea.

Visual Diary #11b - Problematic Stake in the Ground

Have you ever heard the term "like a dog with a bone"? That basically refers to someone or an institution that will not budge on its foundational principles or "stake in the ground" that determines what it will or won't do. A stake in the ground can create trust in a company to stand by its principles when it comes to doing what's in the best interest of the customers and the company. A good example of the problematic stake in the ground is a well-known lost opportunity in the 90s at the threshold of technology and entertainment due to one company's dedication to an outdated business model. In the second half of the 1990s, Netflix founders, Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, approached the Blockbuster company to purchase it as entertainment delivery changed from video rental in brick-and-mortar establishment to online video rental. Not wanting to stray from its business model that supported and valued the in-person, in-store customer experience, Blockbuster declined to sell to Netflix. Now that we know how much of a missed opportunity that decision was for Blockbuster, we have to consider just how firmly should a company stand on its stake in the ground before it decides it will not benefit its company? Sometimes companies need to have stakes that can be moved as more research and trend analysis show movement in a particular industry that will impact a business's ability to thrive or fold. Blockbuster's efforts to retain the in-store customer service, in the long run, did not serve the customers, or the company itself.

Deciding How to Decide

When the UIE team needed to decide how to decide (everyone agrees this is very meta), team leaders explored the pros and cons of various design styles: Unintentional Design, Experience-Focused Design, Self Design, Activity-Focused Design, and Genius Design.

After a selection process that would make Goldilocks proud, the team chose Activity-Focused Design.

This approach puts the user first and brings the entire team—including product managers and developers—into the process. The team uses tools like personas, scenarios, and journey maps and regularly conducts research through usability testing and observations. They can spot frustrations, smooth out rough edges, and create experiences that differentiate their product from the competition.

Research shows, the most effective design teams—regardless of the style—pick a decision-making approach early, get everyone on board, and stick with it. Teams, should regularly evaluate if their style still works for them and if everyone is sticking with it.

About me & about my mood board

Who am I as a person? I am a writer of articles, of blog posts, of poems, of text messages, of emails. I am a reader of magazines, of novels, of articles, of just about everything else. I am a listener, I am a speaker, and I am a thinker. I am a social butterfly, a busy bee, and any other ubiquitous idiom that involves animals. I am a President. I am a Director. I am an intern. I am a Christian. I am an artist. I am a fashion-obsessed, food-obsessed, romance-obsessed, and wine-obsessed 20-year-old woman. I am me. And I love writing dramatic paragraphs, clearly.

My mood board doesn’t follow any theme besides color, because I don’t follow a theme. I am beautifully different and I am a conglomeration of multitudes of interests, gifts, and passions. I love color and I specifically themed my board around colors of the sunset. Sunsets are one of my favorite things in the world, because to me, it’s a spectacle each night of the glory of the God I believe in. I included photos of places like Aruba and Philadelphia, because they are the places I call home. I chose a photo of sheets and a scene from Pretty in Pink because, to be quite honest, I’d rather be in bed right now. I chose the ocean because every time I visit the beach, I feel it calling to me (I think I was Moana in my past life). And lastly, I chose a photo of the Andromeda galaxy to remind myself how small I am in this world, because sometimes my ego gets a bit inflated.

Help me decide~

//Since I need to add a little of blue on Luna's color scheme, Because of the meaning of this color palette on the obangsaek. I made these three options, but I'm super undecided about which one I should choose.  That's why I'm asking for help. (I know that the changes are almost imperceptible, and that will not make a big difference, but for me it is very important)

A) no blue hair.

B) blue hair locks.

C) blue and red hair locks.

Which of the three options do you prefer / do you think are more beautiful?
