I had never seen work by this person (I think I'd remember!): Kozo Yokoi (1889–1965), who went on to a career as a painter (dubbed "the Japanese Rousseau"). I scanned these from a 2017 book on Kodomonotomo. I'll see what else I can dig up.

The artist saw this strange tiger as a combination of an animal and a plant. Suitable for all ages, but this is the type of book you buy for the dreamy artwork.

The Wax and the Wane of the Web

29 February 2024 @ 2:45 pm

I offer a single bit of advice to friends and family when they become new parents: When you start to think that you’ve got everything figured out, everything will change. Just as you start to get the hang of feedings, diapers, and regular naps, it’s time for solid food, potty training, and overnight sleeping. When you figure those out, it’s time for preschool and rare naps. The cycle goes on and on. The same applies for those of us working in design and development these days. Having worked on the web for almost three decades at this point, I’ve seen the regular wax and wane of ideas, techniques, and technologies. Each time that we as developers and designers get into a regular rhythm, some new idea or technology comes along to shake things up and remake our world. How we got here

Opportunities for AI in Accessibility

7 February 2024 @ 2:00 pm

In reading Joe Dolson’s recent piece on the intersection of AI and accessibility, I absolutely appreciated the skepticism that he has for AI in general as well as for the ways that many have been using it. In fact, I’m very skeptical of AI myself, despite my role at Microsoft as an accessibility innovation strategist who helps run the AI for Accessibility grant program. As with any tool, AI can be used in very constructive, inclusive, and accessible ways; and it can also be used in destructive, exclusive, and harmful ones. And there are a ton of uses somewhere in the mediocre middle as well. I’d like you to consider this a “yes… and” piece to complement Joe’s post. I’m not trying to refute any of what he’s saying but rather provide some visibility to projects and opportunities where AI can make meaning

I am a creative.

29 January 2024 @ 3:53 pm

I am a creative. What I do is alchemy. It is a mystery. I do not so much do it, as let it be done through me. I am a creative. Not all creative people like this label. Not all see themselves this way. Some creative people see science in what they do. That is their truth, and I respect it. Maybe I even envy them, a little. But my process is different—my being is different. Apologizing and qualifying in advance is a distraction. That’s what my brain does to sabotage me. I set it aside for now. I can come back later to apologize and qualify. After I’ve said what I came to say. Which is hard enough.  Except when it is easy and flows like a river of wine. Sometimes it does come that way. Sometimes what I need to create comes in a

Humility: An Essential Value

22 June 2023 @ 1:00 pm

Humility, a designer’s essential value—that has a nice ring to it. What about humility, an office manager’s essential value? Or a dentist’s? Or a librarian’s? They all sound great. When humility is our guiding light, the path is always open for fulfillment, evolution, connection, and engagement. In this chapter, we’re going to talk about why. That said, this is a book for designers, and to that end, I’d like to start with a story—well, a journey, really. It’s a personal one, and I’m going to make myself a bit vulnerable along the way. I call it: The Tale of Justin’s Preposterous Pate When I was coming out of art school, a long-haired, goateed neophyte, print was a known quantity to me; design on the web, however, was rife with complexities to n

Personalization Pyramid: A Framework for Designing with User Data

8 December 2022 @ 3:00 pm

As a UX professional in today’s data-driven landscape, it’s increasingly likely that you’ve been asked to design a personalized digital experience, whether it’s a public website, user portal, or native application. Yet while there continues to be no shortage of marketing hype around personalization platforms, we still have very few standardized approaches for implementing personalized UX. That’s where we come in. After completing dozens of personalization projects over the past few years, we gave ourselves a goal: could you create a holistic personalization framework specifically for UX practitioners? The Personalization Pyramid is a designer-centric model for standing up human-centered personalization programs, spanning data, segmentation, content delivery, and overall goals. By using this approach, you will be able to understand the core components of a contemporary, UX-driven per

Mobile-First CSS: Is It Time for a Rethink?

9 June 2022 @ 2:13 am

The mobile-first design methodology is great—it focuses on what really matters to the user, it’s well-practiced, and it’s been a common design pattern for years. So developing your CSS mobile-first should also be great, too…right?  Well, not necessarily. Classic mobile-first CSS development is based on the principle of overwriting style declarations: you begin your CSS with default style declarations, and overwrite and/or add new styles as you add breakpoints with min-width media queries for larger viewports (for a good overview see “What is Mobile First CSS and Why Does It Rock?”). But all those exceptions create complexity and inefficiency, which in turn can lead to an increased testing effort and a code base that’s harder to maintain. Admit it

Designers, (Re)define Success First

12 May 2022 @ 2:00 pm

About two and a half years ago, I introduced the idea of daily ethical design. It was born out of my frustration with the many obstacles to achieving design that’s usable and equitable; protects people’s privacy, agency, and focus; benefits society; and restores nature. I argued that we need to overcome the inconveniences that prevent us from acting ethically and that we need to elevate design ethics to a more practical level by structurally integrating it into our daily work, processes, and tools. Unfortunately, we’re still very far from this ideal.  At the time, I didn’t know yet how to structurally integrate ethics. Yes, I had found some tools that had worked for me in previous projects, such as using checklists, assumption tracking, and “dark reality” sessions,

Breaking Out of the Box

9 December 2021 @ 3:00 pm

CSS is about styling boxes. In fact, the whole web is made of boxes, from the browser viewport to elements on a page. But every once in a while a new feature comes along that makes us rethink our design approach. Round displays, for example, make it fun to play with circular clip areas. Mobile screen notches and virtual keyboards offer challenges to best organize content that stays clear of them. And dual screen or foldable devices make us rethink how to best use available space in a number of different device postures.

How to Sell UX Research with Two Simple Questions

21 October 2021 @ 2:00 pm

Do you find yourself designing screens with only a vague idea of how the things on the screen relate to the things elsewhere in the system? Do you leave stakeholder meetings with unclear directives that often seem to contradict previous conversations? You know a better understanding of user needs would help the team get clear on what you are actually trying to accomplish, but time and budget for research is tight. When it comes to asking for more direct contact with your users, you might feel like poor Oliver Twist, timidly asking, “Please, sir, I want some more.”  Here’s the trick. You need to get stakeholders themselves to identify high-risk assumptions and hidden complexity, so that they become just as motivated as you to get answers from users. Basically, you need to make them think it’s their idea.  In this article,

A Content Model Is Not a Design System

23 September 2021 @ 2:00 pm

Do you remember when having a great website was enough? Now, people are getting answers from Siri, Google search snippets, and mobile apps, not just our websites. Forward-thinking organizations have adopted an omnichannel content strategy, whose mission is to reach audiences across multiple digital channels and platforms. But how do you set up a content management system (CMS) to reach your audience now and in the future? I learned the hard way that creating a content model—a definition of content types, attributes, and relationships that let people and systems understand content—with my more familiar design-system thinking would capsize my customer’s omnichannel content strategy. You can avoid that outcome by creating content models that are semantic and that also connect related content.

Trump lawyer makes bizarre argument that lying about the election 'helps realize the truth'

28 March 2024 @ 8:38 pm

Former President Donald Trump's Georgia attorney, Steve Sadow, recently tried to persuade Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee that his client's lies about the 2020 election are not only constitutionally protected speech, but that they are actually a form of truth-telling.The Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery reported that Trump is now trying to get some of his charges in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' initial indictment dismissed based on the First Amendment. The charges of "false statements and writings" relate to the former president's false assertion to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger that he won the Peach State by 400,000 votes (he actually

'Such a little baby': Larry David unleashes on 'sociopath' Trump

28 March 2024 @ 6:23 pm

Back in 1989 — when Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld unveiled their hit sitcom "Seinfeld" — most political pundits would have laughed if told that the United States would someday have a GOP presidential candidate who won his party's nomination despite facing four criminal indictments, and that the candidate was Donald Trump. But what would have seemed outlandish 35 years ago is a reality in 2024, and polls are showing a very close race that Trump has a good shot at winning.Trump's critics, including President Joe Biden, fear that he will govern as a full-fledged authoritarian if he wins the election and returns to the White House. And David slammed Trump as a major threat to democracy during a

The far-right blaming 'DEI' for Baltimore bridge collapse is part of its malicious pattern

28 March 2024 @ 5:57 pm

There is a school of thought among liberals that believes an educated citizenry is the best defense against despotism. While I don’t have any reason to doubt that, I do think we overstate what we mean by “educated.” It can mean knowing a few things, but it can also mean having a certain set of values, the ability to recognize patterns and the courage to do something about them. We don’t need to fact-check everything. Indeed, we shouldn’t. What we need to do is act morally. This is what I was thinking about as I was reading about the rightwing reaction to the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. A vessel that’s scores of thousands of tons in weight lost power before slamming into a support column, sending parts of the bridge into the bay in a matter of seconds and at least six people (so far) to their d

(Editor's note: The following obituary first appeared in Lawyers, Guns and Money, Erik's blog.)Born in 1942 in Stamford, Connecticut, Lieberman was the future blowhard of all blowhards. Lieberman’s father ran a liquor store and I’m surprised he didn’t later moralistically criticize this. He attended Yale and graduated with a BA in political science and economics in 1964. He then got a law degree from Yale in 1967. Yale is really responsible for so much. Like most other future lovers of war, Lieberman found ways out of fighting in Vietnam, first through educational deferments and then because he was married and had a child. He worked as an intern in the office of Abraham Ribicoff, a far
