- A take on the new Squarespace Logo service. “If you feel like a computer program can do the same level of work that you’re currently doing maybe that’s a signal to brush up on those skills? They may have the tools, but that doesn’t give them taste that we, as designers, sharpen and hone.” Yup.
- And another take: “The issue for many it seems is that this new service cheapens their own offering, or somewhat undermines their own skills. Neither are the case. McDonald’s can comfortably exist alongside Michelin starred restaurant The Fat Duck. They both offer a culinary solution, but they’re not in competition with each other, or importantly, trying to be.”
Things of Note:
We’ve got icy roads here in Austin again today. Hopefully the city doesn’t rack up the same crazy car-accident tally as last week (250 wrecks in a 36-hour period – yikes!). It basically means I’m not going anywhere today, even though I have errands to run. Growing up in Ohio, I know how to drive in ice and snow, but apparently a lot of Austinites don’t, so I’m not going to risk it. I may or may not risk taking outfit photos outside. Leaning towards no right now, as it’s only 27 degrees at the moment.
Is it all wintery and cold where you are? Is that normal or abnormal for where you live? Definitely abnormal here.
