Watch the full Sneaks session and read more about this year’s finalists below.
- **What are you seeing?**
Layered, type-driven design inspired by 1980s advertising is on the rise, and along with it, a worthy opponent (finally) for the sleek, buttoned-up visual world of the last decade. In its purest iteration, the throwback ’80s editorial trend is text-heavy, with layouts comprised of a single, often silhouetted or gradient-backed image, a punchy headline, and supporting narrative copy. The most recognizable component of the trend is arguably its widespread use of condensed serifs like ITC Garamond Condensed or Editorial New—typefaces that just a few years ago would have been relegated to body copy, and certainly never run large as headlines with such tight tracking—as well as the occasional bold sans (a holdover from the Lubalin era) like ITC Kabel.
This aesthetic is most readily associated with 1980s advertisements by Apple, which pioneered the look with its launch campaign for the 1984 Macintosh, along with New Balance (Steve Jobs’ shoe of choice: a coincidence?) and car companies like Honda or Dodge. Arguably, this narrative approach to selling products can be traced back even further, to 1960s advertising titans like William Bernbach and David Ogilvy’s respective work for VW and Schweppes.

- **The Intersection of Technology and Design**
As we embrace the digital age, the line between design and technology is becoming increasingly blurred. From AI-powered design tools to VR experiences, technology is changing the way we design and experience the world. In the future, we might see designs that adapt in real-time, or spaces that blend the physical and virtual seamlessly. But no matter how much technology evolves, one thing remains the same - design is about solving problems, and creating meaningful experiences for users. Stay curious, keep exploring!

- **The Impact of Minimalism in Modern Design**
Embracing minimalism has been a transformative trend in modern design. A clean, uncluttered aesthetic not only brings a visual appeal but also enhances user experience, making interactions more intuitive and effortless. But remember, "minimal" doesn't have to mean "cold" or "sparse." Effective minimal design layers elements like color, texture, and negative space to create a design that's both functional and inviting. The challenge is to simplify without losing substance. Less is often more!

- AI has revolutionized various fields, and web design is no exception. It offers a variety of benefits and improvements, enabling web designers to create better, more efficient, and accessible web solutions. Here are a few ways AI is implemented in web design:
**Automated Web Design and Development:** Platforms like Wix's ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence), Firedrop, and Bookmark use AI to automate the process of web design. They can create a basic website design based on user inputs like site purpose, preferred style, and required features. They greatly reduce the time required to get a website up and running and can often deliver designs that would be complex or time-consuming for a human to implement.
**User Experience Personalization:** AI can be used to tailor the website experience to individual users, analyzing their behavior to offer personalized content or layouts. It can track user interactions, dwell time, clicks, and more to understand user preferences and customize the website accordingly.
**AI Chatbots:** AI chatbots have become a popular way to engage visitors, answer their queries, and provide support. They can be designed to learn and improve their responses over time, providing an almost human-like interaction.
**Accessibility:** AI can make websites more accessible. For example, it can be used to provide automatic image descriptions for visually impaired users, or predict and correct potential accessibility issues in the design phase itself.
**A/B Testing:** AI can be used to improve A/B testing processes. It can rapidly test different variations of a design element and use machine learning to predict which ones will perform better, reducing the amount of time needed for effective A/B testing.
**Predictive Analytics:** AI can be used to predict trends and user behaviors, helping businesses to adapt their strategies and web designs accordingly. This might involve using machine learning algorithms to identify patterns in user behavior, or to predict how changes in design elements will affect user engagement.
**Search Engine Optimization (SEO):** AI can optimize a website's visibility on search engines by analyzing high-ranking content and suggesting adjustments in website content, meta tags, or structure.
**UI/UX Design Improvement:** Machine Learning algorithms can analyze vast amounts of data about how users interact with a site, and what their preferences are. This data can then be used to automatically generate UI/UX designs that are predicted to be effective for the specific user demographic.
These are just a few examples of how AI is being used in web design. As AI continues to evolve, it's likely that its use in web design will only increase, making web design more efficient, personalized, and user-friendly.

- Design is changing, and so are the roles all of us play in the process. This means rethinking product building from the ground up—from shifting mindsets to bringing design and engineering closer together to make great work. Figma’s biggest product launch of the year kicks off Config, followed by an inside look at how Stripe builds products, and why good design is good business from Netflix's VP of Design.
Speakers:
Dylan Field –CEO, Figma
Kris Rasmussen –Chief Technology Officer, Figma
Figma was built to make design accessible to all so everyone can contribute to product development. This year we’re rethinking what that means - and how to open up Figma to more people in more ways. Config is always our biggest launch of the year - don’t miss it.
- **LIP-4: Profile Guardian**
We're creating a proposal to add a safety layer into Lens Protocol profiles to help Lens users to protect against phishing scams.
NFT owners including Lens profiles have been recently targeted with phishing attempts. While it's disheartening to see people lose their NFTs or profiles, we want to be proactive and innovate on the safety standards for NFTs.
We are introducing Profile Guardian which disables certain critical actions such as approvals and transfers for Lens profiles. Profile Guardian is enabled by default and can be opted-out if profile owners want to move it to a new address.
Disabling it will activate a 7-day cooldown period. During the 7-day cooldown period, services such as Lens API can track and provide the data to clients, who can notify users that their profiles are in an unsafe state, and recommend actions to secure the profile.
We hope Profile Guardian inspires others to improve end-user security when interacting with NFTs, especially as more users onboard into the web3 space.

- User research has a dark side
Anders Christiansen from Envision “knows” people, and that is why they specialise in customer research. Anders always makes sure he has a strategy about who to make research on — even if this means interviewing his mother. The golden advice is to always talk to real people:
*“We need to stay away from the average and look for the “dark side” of user research — the real insights. We have to look for the moments where conflict arises. It is there you find interesting truths that you didn’t know before.”*
For example, he found out that it was the social moments: the parties, the hangouts and the heartbreaks, that had the biggest influence on how students retrieved new knowledge. Researching the “dark” side of University life, brought light to new insights.
Always ask why
Jens Hoffman from Vertica wanted to get to the core of why him and his colleagues at Vertica do what they do. So, why?
*“As UX designers we are proud of what we build — also in the long run! We want to help people to become successful. But how do we do that in our workplace? How do we change the way we work? Can we prototype a new way of working? Yes!”*
Jens knows how to UX the hell out of the work culture: think about the problem, action, how to test and with who, and have a deadline. After the sprint, you’ll have an improved workplace.
Give feedback
Brian Eno Credo once said that we depend on each-other more and we understand each-other less. Feedback is therefore necessary, especially in our workplaces.
Ouafa Rian taught us that from psychology, our brains view criticism as a threat to survival, that’s why we remember it very negatively. Feedback is therefore only possible, when the other person needs it, and when it stems from a kind place. It is not a discussion about the best arguments, it is a dialogue where learning is a hopeful outcome.
So after each project, give feedback to each-other, and remember: it has to come from a kind place, listen actively and provide the other with a motivation to improve.

- **Christian Dior**
French fashion designer Christian Dior lived through the Great Depression and two World Wars to open one of the most iconic fashion houses still operating today. His vision of a “New Look” (A-line, calf-length dresses with fitted bodice waists) transformed women’s couture wear for a new era.
24/7 Wall St. writes, “Few designers dominated the fashion industry as Christian Dior did after World War II. Dior’s creations featured a lower hemline on dresses, small shoulders, and fuller skirts, a contrast to the padded shoulders and shorter skirts look from years past. Dior is credited with restoring French clothiers to the exalted status they enjoyed before the war.”
- **Coco Chanel**
Born Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, “Coco” was an exquisite French fashion designer and founder of the well-known CHANEL brand. Her modernist thinking, practical design, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important and influential figure in 20th-century fashion. Coco Chanel was the only fashion designer to be named on the *Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century*.

How Does Generative Fill Work?
Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, generative fill analyzes the overall context and texture of your image to create a corresponding fill. This can be useful for removing objects from a scene, filling in empty space, or even recreating parts of an image that have been lost or damaged.
- Ples. I still couldn't convince my family to go to that town. Ples is a drama and passion. In its every street, in every house there is a story, like chapters from a great playwright's play.Plyse is a stage, where the scenery comes to life, and the characters embody them. I immersed myself in its ancient streets, shrouded in an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. In each building lurks a life full of experiences, passions and contradictions.
The old wooden mansions attracted by their exquisite architecture, like a set design for a great theater play. Every detail is imbued with symbolism and emotion, like words spoken on a quiet theater stage.
Misty dawns and crowded sunsets over the Volga created a unique atmosphere. In their slow movements I caught emotions, the magical sounds of strings and whispers of romantic poems. In this city time stops to make every moment an unforgettable act of drama.
But even at night Plyos does not lose its theatricality. Illuminated lanterns cast light on the narrow streets, like spotlights on the actors of the stage. The shadows play their part, creating effects of illusion and mystery. In that moment I realized that Ples - is not just a city, it is a theater, where each guest becomes a spectator and an actor at the same time.
It is not real, as if it were cardboard. The city is a set for a theatrical production, but always intriguing and cold. No, no kidding, it's awfully windy at any time of year. Don't forget your windbreaker.
- We stopped at Garni. It is an ancient pagan temple, built in the 1st century A.D. and belongs to the Armenian architecture. But it reeks of Hellenism. The Temple of the Sun. The temple was built according to the canons of classical Greek architecture and externally very similar to the famous temple of Athena in Greece. Already from the very approach to Garni, its power and majesty are overwhelming. One has to imagine the secrets and stories these stone walls have kept for centuries.
Inside the temple you are surrounded by an atmosphere of mysticism, tranquility and ... Minimalism.
From Garni there is a wonderful view of the surrounding nature. Everything around is green and the rocks and mountains create a unique landscape. This is the place where I felt like a real traveler, immersed in history and nature at the same time.

This not only enhances the overall user experience but also ensures that important messages are conveyed effectively.
Moreover, motion design adds depth and personality to visual content, making it more engaging and memorable. Through the clever use of motion, designers can inject personality into characters, breathe life into inanimate objects, and create a sense of rhythm and flow. This not only strengthens the connection between the audience and the content but also enhances brand identity and recognition.
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, where information is consumed rapidly and attention spans are shorter than ever, motion design provides a powerful solution. By harnessing the principles of animation and storytelling, motion designers can distill complex concepts into concise and visually appealing sequences. Whether it's through kinetic typography, dynamic transitions, or visual effects, motion design helps break down barriers of communication and ensures that messages are not only understood but also remembered.
Furthermore, motion design plays a crucial role in shaping the user experience in digital interfaces. From mobile apps to websites, motion design can guide users through interactions, provide feedback, and create a sense of fluidity and responsiveness. Through subtle animations, micro-interactions, and intuitive transitions, designers can enhance usability, improve engagement, and create a delightful user journey.
As technology continues to advance and our digital experiences become increasingly immersive, motion design will only become more prevalent and impactful. Its ability to captivate audiences, convey messages effectively, and enhance user experiences makes it an invaluable tool in the world of design and communication.
So, the next time you find yourself entranced by a visually stunning video or a seamlessly animated website, take a moment to appreciate the power of motion design. Behind those captivating visuals lies a creative process that combines artistry, technical skills, and a deep understanding of human perception. Motion design is not only a means to capture attention but also a gateway to storytelling, emotion, and connection in the digital realm. 🎥✨
