Sorry, we’ve been hoarding all the fun finds from our #designamo Slack channel, but we’re back with another roundup of our favourite design and design-ish related finds!
Don’t be afraid to toot your own horn!
Literally...! We are loving Trump Donald, this interactive horn blowing website. As Canadians, we aren’t really sure what’s going on south of the border in this year’s presidential candidacy run, but we do know that we are enjoying this website.
Want what they have?
Minimums is a beautifully designed website, showcasing interviews with interesting people in many fields, and the stories behind their most treasured possessions.
Live like you were Victorian!
Always creating amazing online experiences, the V&A Museum has built this super fun and educational Victorian wig builder so you can show off just how you would have styled your hair “back then”.
Not that we want to replace developers....
We’ve stumbled across some interesting prototyping tools recently that we are excited to share with you. Principle is built to create animated and interactive UI designs and can give you a beautifully realistic design prototype that really wows your clients. Webflow helps designers launch dynamic and responsive websites without having to know how to code. Web flow can actually function as a CMS as well.
How can we make working together easier?
Figma is a collaborative interface design tool, letting multiple people work on one file simultaneously. It works cross-platform and can sync up with your team’s Slack channel to make editing your design easier. We’re torn as to how much we would actually need this simultaneous design feature, but are agreed that it is showing just how forward thinking we can be as designers!
Just for fun... Remember learning how to type properly in school? We don’t. (JK) Even though we spend every day on our keyboards, we weren’t convinced that we weren’t losing our skills... Check yours out: TypingTest.com. (I got a solid 82WPM, apparently I’m a pro!)
