DESIGNER NEWS MOTD ARCHIVE

Would simply moving this section to the top of the page, like it was before, stop it from being neglected?

This section is basically going extinct.

Anyone else get some random 'reply' notifications on DN today? Mine were from 3-4 months ago

Whats the deal with all the spam? In the MOTD and comments.

Howard Aiken: Don’t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you’ll have to ram them down people’s throats.

“Should designers knit?” is the new “should designers code?”.

"Should designers code" is the new "Flat vs Skeumorphic". Can we get that dead horse badge going?

When someone consistently shows you who they are, you have to believe them.

Good design is invisible

I left DN a year ago because it was an unsupportive and angry community. I came back a couple days ago and the changes around here—visually and in the nature of the community itself—are amazing. I'm glad to be back. You all rock.

Can we name that little guy in the bottom right, Kelly? After the DN founder Kelly Sutton?

De sign.

"Next time someone pushes back on implementing 'details' in a product design, remind them we share 99% of our DNA w/ bonobos & chimps. The details MAKE the design." (-Luke W.)

Adobe's quarter century hold of the market must end. Sketch and Affinity are here to change the game.

HEY EVERYONE. Creative Cloud has released an update that stops it from popping down from the menubar incessantly.

Upvote if you're a male or female! (see, I can fish for upvotes too behind a thinly veiled question without substance. MOTD has gone downhill...)

What's the F/M ratio of this place...? Upvote for M, downvote for F.

A decision is meaningless unless you take action.

I'm guessing the MoTD will get updated much less frequently now that it's down here. I wonder if they were trying to kill it without ruffling too many feathers?

Experience is what we get when we don't get what we want.

Let’s make it pop better – maybe “darker” white or “lighter” black, somewhere in-between the two. Do they have a name for that? -- Mr Grey

Someone put me out of my misery. I'm losing karma by the minute.

I'm addicted to Designer News.

Give a crap. Don’t give a fuck.

Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful. - Dieter Rams

It takes a lot of effort to make something seem effortless. --- Alexander Isley

Yes, commenting on QOTD would be cool.

Is it just me, or would it be cool if there was a temporary place to comment on the QOTD?

Good design promotes honesty.

“Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men’s blood and probably themselves will not be realized.” — Daniel Burnham

Little big creepy details turn out to be pretty cool details: https://twitter.com/notdetails/status/609432429712011264

Andrew Wilkinson, owner of DN, only has 1 avatar color? If it were me, I'd give myself ALL the colors!!

Artboards in Photoshop? It's coming! https://twitter.com/bradee/status/608410272445906945

I'm not sure what to learn next. The abstraction of tools has become overwhelming.

Sometimes I update the MoTD just to put the previous person out of their misery.

The harder a designer works, the easier they make their job look.

It's all good that you're keeping sponsored posts on here, Andrew W., but can you change the icon to look less like "Ask" when scanning?

Who thought up the Pixel Portrait and Header ideas on Designer News? Really clever and not mentioned enough.

Font issue with numbers *should* be fixed now.

What's up with the numbers on here? Some are Georgia, others appear to be Helvetica. Has the font changed?

Monday is coming. Have a great week everyone!

Maintenance update: we know SSL is broken, waiting on certificate. Pixel avatars are coming back.

A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.

"The only good font is the Sopranos one, where the 'R' is a pistol." — Tom Haverford

I find this section so interesting that it hasn't devolved into spam war. We should be really proud of our restraint.

Site maintenance is done, back to your normal browsing :)

I often recognize DN users in the comments. It's the closest I have to Cheers online, but with pixels instead of alcohol. Unless you count the time that UX designer got drunk for money.

... I never noticed this top thing was editable before

Is it just me or is clickbait increasing on DN? http://i.imgur.com/MpHW8sk.png
