Pantone Color(s) of the Year 2021: A Shout-out to Optimism and Strength - Freepik Blog
Pantone just announced, not the color, but the Colors of the Year 2021: PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating, a vibrant yellow, and PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray, a neutral gray. The Institute of Color has defined this combination as “a marriage of optimism and strength”. Though expectations were high, the selection comes as a surprise to all of us. Not only because it’s the first time that a neutral color is selected as the Color of the Year, but also because the meaning behind this selection is powerful and accurate to the times we’re living. Last year, Classic Blue was picked to represent a time of change and the start of a new decade.

Interviewing Users: How to Uncover Compelling Insights: Amazon.co.uk: Steve Portigal: 9781933820118: Books
Steve Portigal does an incredible job of balancing the specific and general to create one of the most useful books I have ever read. The real-world “war stories” help clarify the points made in the book, while the insights drawn from those stories are applicable to anyone doing this type of work. A lot of things I’ve read will point to the importance of research and even give an overview of certain techniques, but they don’t go in-depth on how to really do it. I’ll often finish a book and be excited by the concepts, but leave without anything concrete that I can apply directly to my work.

Inclusive UX Education: Designing a Free Online Learning Curriculum
Skyrocketing university tuition and pricy unaccredited boot camps aren’t helping to bring socioeconomic diversity to the field of UX. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of completely free learning resources from top companies and universities such as University of Michigan, Georgia Institute of Technology, Facebook, University of California San Diego, Google, M.I.T, University of Minnesota and more. The field of user experience has gained significant popularity in recent years. While companies like FreeCodeCamp and 42 are offering free options for people to learn how to code, learning UX doesn’t seem to have the same support network for self-motivated and driven individuals. I often encounter discussions on UX forums and (sometimes heated) debates on UX education accessibility on my LinkedIn feed, with people asking how to get a quality education in this space if one does not have the funds for tuition. · an introduction to Human-Centred Design
