August 8th: Weekly Design Links
“Progress is a nice word. But change is its motivator. And change has its enemies.” – Robert Kennedy
I’ve been doing these weekly design links posts for quite a while now (since May of 2016) and they’ve evolved a bit since then. In January I started doing a daily email version with 5 links a day called CreativeLinks.Club and that’s been an interesting ride also. As of last Friday, I’ve decided to change CreativeLinks.Club into a weekly email service instead of a daily. In essence it will mirror these weekly posts. If you prefer to consume these on Medium, then keep following and enjoy. If you want to get these via email, go to CreativeLinks.Club and sign up.
On to this week’s creative bounty…
