one of the saddest things about ai slop for me is how unappetizing it makes food look
never realized how much irregularity and imperfection make food feel real until i started seeing ai food pics where everything gets flattened into the same over-perfect texture
and the sadder part is that small food vendors using these images might not even realize it :(
today i learned that back in the 19th century, people in love would use gemstones to spell secret messages in jewelry
the first letter of each stone would form a word:
Ruby, Emerald, Garnet, Amethyst, Ruby, Diamond = REGARD
so it was just pretty jewelry to everyone else but to the person who knew how to read it, it was basically a tiny interface for a private message🥺
may @daytonaio be blessed with infinite compute
congrats on your series b and ty for having me!
congrats @solanamobile on the big announcement this week and thank you for trusting Airfoil as your design partner!!
Airfoil x @solanamobile
When Solana Mobile rolled out the new Seeker brand, we led the reskin of solanamobile.com to bring it to life.
We wanted the site to show off the phone and the new visual system while speaking to everyone in the ecosystem: users, developers, and the hardware manufacturers driving adoption.
Proud to keep building across @Solana, from solana.com to @colosseum to @Helius, @Titan_Exchange, @Pumpfun -- and now Solana Mobile.
Congrats to the team on the @Ledger partnership!

There’s a reason why we keep coming back to work with @AirfoilStudio each time. They’re a team of amazing designers!
Today @Colosseum, home of the largest hackathons in crypto, closes out the World's Fair hackathon.
We've partnered with Colosseum from day one: designing the brand and website for each hackathon to bring @n8levine’s vision to life, running design workshops for Colosseum founders, & working with winning teams.
It’s been a journey, and we’re excited to see Colosseum expand to all chains!
To all the builders: may the odds be ever in your favor.

9,000+ products have launched out of @colosseum hackathons, and many of the top teams on Solana started there, including @MetaDAOProject, @hylo_so or @ORE.
There's a week left to submit to Crypto World's Fair for $800K in prizes and $2.5M in venture funding
Go build:

When we worked with the inimitable @reductoai team on their website leading up to their Series A, nailing the animations was deeply important to us.
They weren't just there to add a level of interactivity to the website, but to visually showcase product functionality (parsing, extracting, and splitting) in a way that was immediately intuitive for the user.
We loved taking a deep dive into the product and jamming on this together with @aditabrm @adelwu_ and the rest of the Reducto crew! 🙌
not many people know this, but my agency @AirfoilStudio designs and produces merch, and it’s one of my favorite things we do! i spend most of my time making things that live on screens, so i’ve always craved a more tangible creative outlet. merch scratches that itch
merch wasn’t a service we offered at first. we started by making our own because i didn’t want to show up to conferences in another black t-shirt with a logo on it lol
we started by experimenting with different silhouettes, then leaned into illustrations and took cues from clothes i already loved, like vintage sports jerseys. each version got a little closer to something i’d genuinely choose to wear myself
so i wore it to conferences. people would compliment my outfit, then find out it was Airfoil merch we’d designed and made. some asked if we could do the same for them, and one of those conversations became our first client merch project
since then, we’ve designed and produced 50+ different merch types, from clothing, shoes, swimwear and home goods!
We designed and produced a fresh batch of @Titan_Exchange shirts for @joinfrontier!
Love partnering with our awesome clients to bring their brand to life and see their community repping them 🤝
living in SF is so wild. what do you mean you can just meet @stevewoz and have him sign my macbook?!
he was at Supabase Select last week and shared his thoughts on values, AI, and some of the stories behind building Apple
what I loved most was how much he wanted others to learn. he had taught himself from the few machine manuals and examples he could get his hands on, and later wanted to share the Apple II’s schematics and source code so others could learn from them too
I hope I bring some of that spirit of sharing into my own work as well. making things because I love making them and sharing what I learn along the way🫶🏻
thank you @JSummersMuir for the invite and the @supabase team for putting together such an amazing event💚
