June 30th: Weekly Design Links

“The paradox of education is precisely this — that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.”–James Baldwin

I changed up the format of this weekly post last week and the results were interesting. I got more page views but the percentage of people who read the whole post was down dramatically. I’m going to run with it for now, but if anyone hates or loves the new format, let me know. As always, if you love these links check out CreativeLinks.Club and sign up for the daily email list.
