Welcome to the?third issue?of Dezign Sense. ??
By now you may have noticed that the issue has shifted to Friday night schedule. Here's the thinking — for most of us, it has a good intersection between being at work and taking time off for the week and that's where this dose of inspiration can help.If need be, the weekend can be a great taste-tuning time reflecting on the visuals shared. This week's issue has some gems that have inspired me. I hope they will inspire you too for your work or otherwise.
Let's dive into them. ??
Type of the Week
Every week, I share my love for typefaces, one at a time. Today let us explore?Karlie Script ?by?DearType.
Although not a free typeface entirely, the regular font weight is free to use. If you're looking for a friendly, cursive, cute, professionally made handwritten font with not too much contrast like other script fonts, this is it! ??
Tips of the Week
Small techniques compound and enhance your overall workflow in Design. Here are some tips that can help you with highlighting Product UI or selecting appropriate distribution graph.
Tools of the Week
Some systems, apps, products, plugins add significant value than others. Here are some you can explore this week.
Screen Sizes?by Trevor & Christopher
Here's a nifty little tool —?Screen Sizes , that can be very handy to refer all the screen sizes and resolutions of devices.
Writer?by Nathan Huesmann and Soren Iverson
If you wish to speed up content creation within Figma, here is a tool?Writer , that can help you save time in fetching sample content pieces to make your UI or Graphic more appropriate.
PPTfy?by?Jean-Christophe NAOUR
Those of you working in Corporate who tried hard to shift your and your team's workflows to Figma have another good news. It's the?PPTfy ?plugin that can take care of the need to use or send PPTs of presentations created in Figma. You have the best of both worlds. ??
