In 1827, on the front page of the debut issue of the first Black newspaper, <em>Freedom\u2019s Journal<\/em>, Russwurm and Cornish made plain their motives:<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We wish to plead our own cause.

Often the designer doesn\u2019t have all the information, but most importantly, isn\u2019t working with the actual client whose taste may be questionable. Like many car brands, BMW introduced a \u201cflat\u201d design a few months ago, with a transparent outer ring. As with all identity refreshes, there was <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.underconsideration.com\/brandnew\/archives\/new_logo_for_bmw.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">some backlash<\/a>. Copenhagen-based branding agency Brand Lane came up with a simple, yet brilliant solution:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It became obvious that BMW can benefit from redesigning the badge as a more balanced, consistent, timeless and minimalistic symbol (but not too simple to be still unique and unmistakably BMW). The solution was in the air: to remove the letters from the inside of the logo, but to keep the black ring at the same time separating it from the blue quadrants and the background.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>                  <!-- END MODULE: Content 9 --><br \/>\n                  <!-- BEGIN MODULE: Content 9 --><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"8\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\" width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" style=\"padding: 16px 24px 24px; background-color: #ffffff; border-radius: 8px\" pc-default-class=\"pc-sm-p-25-30-35 pc-xs-p-15-20-25\" pc-default-padding=\"30px 40px 40px\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n                            <\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"12\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/uxdesign.cc\/lets-talk-about-that-gpt-3-ai-tweet-that-shook-designers-to-the-core-d2b31ad3d63b\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/designspun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/issues\/009_20200726\/designer-plugin-8US.jpg\" width=\"552\" height=\"\" alt=\"Screenshot of Figma showing the Designer plugin\" style=\"border: 0; line-height: 100%; outline: 0; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; display: block; height: auto; color: #151515; border-radius: 6px; max-width: 100%;\"><\/a>\n                                <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"24\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pc-fb-font\" style=\"line-height: 28px; font-family: 'Work Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: -0.2px; color: #707070\" valign=\"top\">\n<h2><a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/uxdesign.cc\/lets-talk-about-that-gpt-3-ai-tweet-that-shook-designers-to-the-core-d2b31ad3d63b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Let\u2019s talk about that GPT-3 AI tweet that shook designers to the core<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>(uxdesign.cc)<\/p>\n<p>How many times have you heard a colleague say to you, \u201cDon\u2019t you just click on a filter?\u201d Well, a short <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jsngr\/status\/1284511080715362304\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">one-minute video on Twitter<\/a> showed a plugin that generated an app design in seconds, from a just few typed lines of English (not code).
