JAGUAR'S DESIGN CRISIS JUST WENT FROM BAD TO WORSE

Jaguar's deeply divisive 2024 rebrand is still echoing through the company. The turmoil has culminated in the sudden removal of chief creative officer Gerry McGovern. Following declining sales, the dismissal of the ad agency behind the rebrand, and harsh criticism of McGovern's Type 00 concept EV, his departure strongly suggests that Jaguar's new leadership is losing confidence in the bold design direction introduced last year and may be preparing to pivot away from it.

ELIZABETH GOODSPEED ON HOW MANY DESIGNERS IT TAKES TO MAKE A STUDIO

Many independent designers operate as formal “studios” even when solo, partly for legal and financial benefits, but also to signal professionalism, authority, and room for growth. However, naming a practice—after oneself or as a separate studio—carries nuanced implications for perception, gender dynamics, client expectations, and creative freedom. Some designers choose to be transparent about their small or solo status to maintain nimbleness, personal connection, and control over how their work is credited and experienced.

CAN YOU MAKE TOAST MESSAGES ACCESSIBLE?

GitHub's design system banned toast messages because they create accessibility and usability problems that can't be fixed with technical solutions. Toast messages disappear automatically after a few seconds, obscure underlying content, and are difficult to spot at the edges of the screen. GitHub's usability testing with disabled users showed that fixing these core issues requires changing the pattern so fundamentally that it would no longer qualify as a toast message.

STOP DESIGNING ON AUTOPILOT

Designers plateau when unconscious habits and familiar solutions replace intentional problem-solving, leading them to design for their internal system rather than the project's actual needs. Growth requires pausing automatic responses, asking whether choices fit the project or merely feel comfortable, and exploring alternatives before committing. The gap between technical skill and world-class work closes when designers resist routine's gravitational pull and treat each project as an opportunity to stretch beyond established patterns.
