Weekly Design Links — 12/03/24
The fact that it’s December feels like we’re at the end of something–a big milestone that we call a year. I put pressure on myself to get things done. It’s fabricated. There are no implications if I don’t post this. If I don’t create another Phase post (I did this last night–better late than never). No one cares but me. When January rolls around, there will be more fake deadlines. Artists, designers, and creative folks in general need deadlines (real or not) to get things out the door. If I don’t make up a deadline, I’ll just noodle on it forever. I’ve got seventeen more projects to wrap up before the year ends, lemme get back to it. Enjoy the links.
