Words & Letters
It’s been a year. Maybe not as hectic as the last few, but it’s been trying for me. I have many talented friends who aren’t employed, there are still layoffs happening, and next year doesn’t look any calmer with ongoing wars and a US election coming. I’m thankful for the good people in my life. […]
Thanks to those who supported my week off. It’s pretty amazing that some of you are paying attention and even reached out in support of the break. In a little nod to the season, I’d like to share a few links to my friends and colleagues who create cool things that you all may enjoy. […]
Humans are strangely affected by numbers, patterns, chords, and repetition. We gravitate towards them like moths to a light. We can’t look away. We seek them out in chaos. We constantly try to bring some logic to the thousands of data points in our vision. We want things to make sense, to see the system […]
Time continues to sneak up on me. I have a personal deadline in 15 days. I’ve thought a lot about what I intend to make, but reality is coming at me fast. Procrastination is there. Other responsibilities take priority. Excuses are many. I’ve got to get my ass in gear–wish me luck. Web Design/UX/UI The […]
Juggling isn’t a game. It has elements and a history of performance and dates back to 2000 B.C. according the the internet. We’re all juggling a lot these days. I’m really good at tossing the balls into the air–catching them is another story. I need more practice. As you can probably surmise from this series […]
Doing these posts on Tuesdays, in Pacific (US) time, always coincides with Apple’s announcements. It’s a thing but in this asynchronous world, it doesn’t matter. We all make the time for the things that matter. Whether it’s the new iPhone or some pretty visual content, if it makes your life better we will find the […]
If you haven’t figured it out, there’s a formula for these posts. Yes, the work changes. I also have my personal tastes which come through quite clearly at times. You’ll notice another Atari link in this week’s content. I have a soft spot for Atari–100% true. I always try and mix up the disciplines. I […]
It’s been a long day and I’m fresh out of words. I said a whole bunch of words on the Mix & Matchbox podcast last week. I just realized that an entire section of this post didn’t save and I have to rebuild it. Enough words–let me fix that and get some sleep. Art HuntzLayered […]
We’ve hit full-on Summer now. The heat keeps on coming. Take a little time out of the elements and listen to my first-ever podcast appearance with Brent Feldman, host of Mix and Matchbox. We talk about design, skateboarding, and some random related topics. Hopefully, you all find it interesting. Web Design/UX/UI Zero UI: Redefining the […]
Simplify is one of the oldest design mandates. Less is more. I enjoy these classic experiences and products like anyone but we live in a society of excess where you can never have enough. More features, more pixels, the biggest, the best, and it’s never-ending. As someone who indulges in completionism, I fall into the […]
