New publications from design teams this week
From Facebook: Facebook’s design team is giving back to the design community. In a Medium post, they wrote about the importance of sharing resources and knowledge in order to “help designers create great things better and faster”; and so, Facebook.design was created. It’s a collection of articles, case studies, resources, and other interesting design insights from the Facebook world.
From Etsy: Jumping on the Medium publication bandwagon this week is the Etsy design team. Standout reads so far: thoughts on designing for growth, and a story from a design intern.
From Asana: task-manager Asana shook things up with a redesign a few months ago, and now they’re launching a brand-new publication called Wavelength. It’s all about teams and productivity and it’s worth a read, if even just to check out the illustrations for all the articles. Side note: is every new publication these days required to have their own custom illustrations? If you need one, check out this list of 20 incredible illustrators, or browse the illustration section of Envato Studio.
From Affinity: a workbook about design from the Affinity Designer team.
