Creative minds, Designers & Makers, here are your monthly curated fresh resources, take your dose!
Here is a fine selection of medias that attracted my attention the most during the month of May, in a phase of progressive deconfinement.
A subject often comes up in articles or meetings related to Design, it concerns the evolution of the digital design professions with the emergence of new specializations. We now talk about Product Designer or Design Obs.
It’s a universe in full mutation with still blurred frontiers where it is not easy to position oneself and anticipate what our place will be tomorrow.
As for Makers, a selection of DIY tutorials will help you never run out of creative ideas!
Pick the categories that interest you, and feel free to share and comment 😊
Take care!
