Hey there 👋

Welcome to this installment of Pixel Perfect Picks. Here I'm sharing something that I heard, read, and saw. You can subscribe to this newsletter here. I'm additionally publishing a more extended essay about software development, design, and freelancing every month.

Many more designers in our industry should give a realistic view of their work. In my opinion, too much is polished and prepared just for the perfect social media post. That's why I love it when people give a raw, honest look into their workshop. For example, I took a lot of inspiration from this for my workflow. After all, you always need to work on and improve your process.

In everyday life as a designer there are far too many tools. And one of my favorite sayings is: A fool with a tool is still a fool. So what are the essentials you really need every day? I don’t think there’s a single answer for everyone. But here’s a helpful approach to build your own toolbox.

Unfortunately I have to say that the German part will be skipped. But I would really love for there to be some way to translate this incredibly good podcast. Markus Gabriel, the philosopher, was a guest on Hotel Matze and they had an amazingly good conversation about AI.
