Arthur Gensler shared 50 years of hard learned lessons in building a world class professional service firm in one brightly colored book.

First off, Mr. Gensler is pretty amazing. As I’ve delved into the world of interior design and space design, I’ve found that the firm behind the office designs of some of the most innovative and fast moving companies in the world, is under the realm of this man. He is a Fellow of both the American Institute of Architects and the International Interior Design Association, and a professional member of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He graduated from Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art and Planning and is a member of its Advisory Council. Art is also a charter member of Interior Design magazine’s Hall of Fame and a recipient of IIDA’s Star Award, and received Ernst & Young LLP’s Lifetime Achievement Award and the Cornell Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

With over 1.54L branches across the country, India Post enjoys the love and trust of millions of Indians. The objective of India Post Payments Bank (IPPB) is to provide affordable and useful banking services to people who don’t just have limited access to banks, but might never have banked before. This is true financial inclusion. With a network spanning across every corner of the country, the postal service will now deliver prosperity to rural India as well as semi urban towns.

We invite you to design the visual identity of India Post Payments Bank (IPPB).

As designers, we are constantly experimenting with tools and processes in an attempt to find the one that works best. After a great deal of experimentation, I’ve discovered the perfect design workflow, and I’m going to share it with you now. Design is a process and the process I’m going to share is the one I’ve used on all my projects to build habit-forming products that people love.

While Apple calls iOS 10 their biggest release ever, most of the new features are consumer-facing, like Widgets, Siri/Messages integration, and expanded notifications.

For designers, the only noticeable design changes are bolder titles and bigger use of cards, as seen in native apps like Music and News. Whereas iOS 7 started with a widespread use of thin fonts, iOS 10 is going back to using bolder texts.

But sometimes it can be hard to know where to start when choosing a color palette for your design project.

So we’ve done the hard work for you— giving you 100 color combinations inspired by nature, food & drink, travel, and everyday items.

When deciding how to build your next prototype, the vast landscape of modern prototyping tools can be overwhelming. It’s easy to stick with the tools that you know for expedience sake, but a lot of great new tools are available and worth exploring.
