my latest #dalle obsession is dreaming up sneaker collabs

the prompt is pretty simple: “(artist), (brand) sneakers, digital art, product photography”

the results are incredible here are some more imaginary kehinde wiley nikes

soooo which one did you pick? 👀

if you’re curious, here is a little behind the scenes story time about how this all went down!

(thread)👇 a few things happened last year that, when put together in my brain, kicked this whole thing off:

1️⃣ early in 2019 i made a fun “retro tech” IG effect, desktop96, that ended up being very popular

seems like people like that kind of stuff? *takes notes*

wait are we back to "the max has the better camera"? or did i mishear ugh i hate my max it is tooo big why apple 😭

collecting some super subtle iOS 14 details here:

the new Siri animation is 🔥 but check out the response text, it has a subtle gyro-powered gradient that moves as you move your phone

(also siri looks like a circle but actually has some stretch/squash to feel more organic) this one is very subtle but feels sooo much better

when you pull down for spotlight now the keyboard inherits the spring and moves with the rest of the view, which makes this interaction feel a lot more cohesive and fluid 😍

okay here is a thread on how to think about your next team/project/role

👇 caveat: this is likely most applicable to product designers at medium to big companies, but hopefully it is helpful to all.

this is also just based on my experience which is certainly full of its own biases!
