Welcome back,

As we wrap up the final Curated Links Newsletter of 2024, thank you for reading along this year.

This month, Brené Brown shares advice on managing stress and being overwhelmed. Learn how to keep pixely images pixely and performant. There’s also a deep dive into behavioural economics for nudging user decisions and a year-in-review from the team at Clearleft.

Oh, and there’s a free book to enjoy—because who doesn’t love a good read to close out the year?

Let’s get to it...

Stressed and overwhelmed...

The image shows a book titled "Atlas of the Heart" by Brené Brown. The subtitle reads: "Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience." The book cover is red and features an artistic heart design composed of nature, landscapes, and symbols representing human emotions and connections.

He looks at a dangling carrot, representing temptation or motivation, while a hand holding a magnet emits energy, symbolizing influence or external manipulation. The background is a textured teal color.

Clearleft wrapped: Our year in highlights...

The image features the Clearleft team posing together in a vibrant indoor setting with greenery and a glass ceiling. Two signs flank the group: one on the left saying “Come and say hello”, and one on the right promoting Clearleft as “Strategic design partners”. The team members, some seated on a green couch and others standing behind it, are smiling and wearing event lanyards, giving a warm and professional impression.

As the year draws to a close, we thought it would be fun to celebrate the quirks, triumphs, and memorable moments that made 2024 special for Clearleft. From croissants to lino printing, here’s a lighthearted look at what makes Clearleft, well, Clearleft.
