October 16, 2024 what is a witch I've had some folks reach out lately that are excited about The Coworking Coven re-opening and it being a "place for women to connect" and I want to make one thing clear: The Coworking Coven is for witches. And witch does not automatically equal woman. Or, gods forbid, "female(s)." If you disagree with your whole chest... you're not going to like The Coworking Coven. Look, I get it.

After doing some Feedback Fridays this month inside The Coworking Coven, I saw an opportunity to do something I've wanted to do for a very very very long time: fix color palettes for the web. If you've gone to Pinterest for inspiration, made up a mood board in Canva, or had a brand designer give you a strip of 5-7...

And this year is just the same. I’ll not be working in...

October 16, 2024 Issue #52 If there is one thing that improved my design skills, it's paying attention to typography. Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make written language legible, readable and appealing when displayed. - Wikipedia Typography is everywhere. Even when you don't notice it. Anywhere you use text you are playing by rules of typography. And more often than not: you're breaking them. I talked about this a lot in my post "Witches, we gotta talk about your...
