Sketch Template Starter — Another Freebie
In a previous blog post I outlined the seven steps of my typical web design process. To further speed up that process I work from a Sketch Template Starter I put together. This freebie will help you to quickly organise your next project's typography, colours, and other UI elements (responsive layouts, buttons, forms, etc) into a flexible, easy to use design system powered by Sketch's symbols functionality, text and shared styles.

Travel Photography 2015—2016
Over the last two years we were extremely lucky to have had a chance to travel a bit. We've been to Israel, around the UK, and Ukraine to name a few places. We also lived in St Petersburg for 3 months and have now been living in Rio de Janeiro for a couple of years. These are a few shots we've taken along the way.

The Visual Web Design Process: Seven Steps
My typical website design process consists of three key stages: 1) Consultancy. 2) Design. 3) Development. This particular post is a very practical one. It describes the second stage - a seven step visual design process. By this point in the process, the consultancy package has been signed off. This should ideally include agreed project and creative briefs, wireframes, prototypes, technical specifications, budgets, and timeframes. So where do you start with step two, and how do you get into the right frame of mind?

Inspiration Through Travel
Nothing gets my neurons firing and creating new connections quite like exposing my senses to new experiences, smells, tastes, languages, and cultures through travel.

Sketch + InVision UI Design Workflow
A while ago I discovered a dedicated UI design tool you've most definitely heard about called Sketch. It has two key advantages over Photoshop that made me switch in the blink of an eye.

User Interface Design Process
Starting on a new User Interface design project can be daunting. You just received a hundred pages worth of specifications which may include: project, creative design and build briefs; draft wireframes and app flows ideas; deliver abilities requirements; examples of existing products; and brand guidelines that you have to navigate around.
So where do you start?

Freebie: Vector Colour Wheel
Every brand guidelines document or user interface style guide requires a section detailing complementary colours. I often create a unique layout to present those colours. But recently, working on a big UI project which required a lot of colours, I found that it was much easier to present them on a customisable colour wheel as it allowed for flexibility and growth.

Design That Never Was №1
The Design That Never Was will be an ongoing series of blog articles dedicated to the part of the work that was completed for a project, but for various reasons never saw the light of day (until now, that is). Whether another option was chosen by a client, someone changed their mind, or decided to go in a different direction, here will be a place where tribute can be paid to the designs which were prematurely put to rest.
