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.

Eh, yeah, we have another AI topic here. A few months ago, I had the opportunity to try out the Spotify DJ and I find the interaction with it incredibly cool. I mean, how nice is it to have your own little radio station that can switch between music and podcasts? Now Spotify is taking it a step further and testing AI playlists based on prompts. Personally, I would prefer to see an evolution of the DJ, but let's wait and see what comes of it.

I believe few things cost designers as many nerves as creating the perfect portfolio. And let's be honest, many of the portfolios out there are just polished versions of the perfect project. Interestingly enough, last week I came across a template for a very honest portfolio and couldn't help but chuckle internally.

Currently, I am playing a lot of Elden Ring again. The game has an incredible appeal and I love wandering through the worlds and facing new adventures. Two of my favorite streamers, HandOfBlood and Pappaplatte, have also taken on some pretty crazy adventures by playing the Seamless Coop Mod for Elden Ring, and I absolutely loved it! Unfortunately, it was in German, but definitely entertaining!

Until next time. Keep creating awesome stuff ✌️
