Most consider Adobe dated nowadays. And now, people are talking about shifting from Figma because it feels "obsolete". This year, we built our site in Framer. Now we're thinking about Astro + Keystatic CMS. Maybe a few months later *that* becomes dated. We're moving too fast.

Ryan is a legend at translating complex weird tech ideas into palatable, cohesive narratives. All with a stellar eye for design and branding. Founder friends, you should hit him up rn while he has capacity!
Is this positioning too cheeky? Bang on? Not cheeky enough? You tell me, copywriters. For context: STUDIOFORM® helps deep tech and deep science companies build brand identities/strategies that help them raise, attract the right talent, and scale. studioform.ca

This. This is why designers will be fine. Out of the box, unorthodox, beautiful concepts like these.
No AI. I made these in Photoshop with real effort and too much insomnia.

Quitting my Adobe subscription today. Pretty wild. Figma – Affinity – Cavalry – Blender is my current creative stack and works well for me, covering print and digital needs. ArtCraft interests me a lot too; we'll see how things go on that front. Times are a' changing.

Insane and hilarious that Adobe has Artcraft, Affinity, Figma, and a slew of other tools all as constantly evolving alternatives and their responses to that are Relight and Turntable lmao

Rarely do I get a print project to work on – so this one's been fun. Sample spread for an archival book we're working on via STUDIOFORM. 🇨🇦

Anyone that says all logos have been done before has given up to soon.
