ACTIVITY-FOCUSED DESIGN

Activity-focused design centers on the actions people take to reach their goals, with the core unit of analysis being what people do and how they do it. Task analysis is one approach that breaks down user goals into activities and individual tasks, requiring designers to choose appropriate levels of specificity for their design context. The process involves first identifying the most important user goals, then determining the specific tasks needed to achieve them.

GOOGLE'S NEW APP ICONS WERE DESPERATELY NEEDED

Google is rolling out redesigned Workspace app icons after years of criticism that its previous “unified” designs made apps too difficult to tell apart. The updated icons keep a consistent gradient-based visual style but introduce more distinctive shapes, colors, and iconography, giving each app a clearer identity while improving legibility and accessibility. The redesign has been widely praised for balancing brand consistency with usability, while also adding a slightly nostalgic aesthetic inspired by early internet visuals and modern interface trends.

WHY MOTION DESIGN IS DEFINING MODERN DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

Motion design has become the driving force behind modern digital communication as platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels have shifted audience expectations from static to dynamic content.

THE CLICK'S CLEVER UNIVERSITY BRANDING PUTS THE ‘I' IN IDENTITY, INDIVIDUAL, AND IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON

Imperial College London introduced a new identity system designed to create a stronger sense of belonging by giving each department its own distinctive “I” logo inspired by its subject, from aeronautics to chemistry.

FRECKLES, TATTOOS, AND IMPERFECT HAIRLINES: INSIDE LEO, THE MEN'S HAIR LOSS BRAND THAT DITCHES THE GLOSS

LEO launched a new brand identity by Creative Spark that rejects the glossy, hyper-masculine style typical of men's hair loss advertising in favor of honest, relatable messaging and real-looking imagery. Built around the line “Where's your head at?”, the campaign focuses less on selling perfection and more on helping men feel understood, using candid photography, straightforward language, and a more emotionally open approach to hair loss and self-esteem.
