MIDJOURNEY WANTS HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS TO REVEAL THE DETAILS OF THEIR AI USAGE

Midjourney is pushing to force Disney, Universal, and Warner Bros. to disclose their own internal AI usage during discovery in the ongoing copyright lawsuits against it. The studios currently only must share generative AI documentation tied to "consumer-facing" content, a limit Midjourney's new filing seeks to remove, arguing it lets studios hide evidence of similar internal AI practices while cherry-picking material against Midjourney. The company also wants studios to disclose all Midjourney prompts and outputs used, not just those tied to allegedly infringing images, while the studios' attorney has dismissed the request as a "fishing expedition."

APPLE DESIGN AWARD WINNER ACQUIRED BY APPLE FOR NEW SWIFT TOOLS

Apple acquired Rabbit 3 Times, Inc, maker of the visual Swift development tool Play, months after giving Play an Apple Design Award for innovation. The deal, reported to the EU under the Digital Markets Act, reportedly involved acquiring assets and the option to hire staff rather than a full acquisition. Following the deal, Rabbit 3 Times discontinued Play for iPhone and Mac, made its paid Play-to-Xcode export service free, and later shut down its website.

YOU DESIGN IT. THEN WHAT? A CLEAR MAP OF THE FIGMA-TO-CODE AI MESS

AI design-to-code workflows are best understood as a four-layer stack: MCP connects AI to tools like Figma, markdown files capture design rules and context, skills automate repeatable tasks, and mapping (such as Code Connect) links Figma components to real code components—each layer solving a different problem while still requiring increasingly more engineering effort. For most designers and small teams, a clean Figma file, an MCP connection, and a simple Markdown guide are enough. Only mature design systems benefit from the full stack, as maintaining design-to-code synchronization is expensive and developer-dependent. AI dramatically speeds up turning designs into code, but it doesn't eliminate the need for structured design systems, human judgment, or developers to build and maintain production-ready software.

YOUR INTERFACE HAS A TONE. AND SOMETIMES IT BLAMES YOU

Many digital products are designed around an unrealistic "ideal user" who patiently adapts to confusing interfaces, causing people to blame themselves instead of poor design when something goes wrong. Inclusive UX writing—using clear, supportive, non-judgmental language—reduces cognitive burden for everyone, especially people with disabilities, anxiety, ADHD, or language barriers, reflecting the curb-cut effect, where designing for those at the margins improves experiences for all. Every piece of interface copy is a design choice, and thoughtful language can make users feel guided rather than judged.

RETHINKING FIGMA IN AN AI WORLD

At Config 2026, Figma expanded its canvas with code layers, motion, and shader tools to keep design relevant as AI shifts workflows toward code-native, agentic product building. This pressures Figma's seat-based business model, since AI lets engineers and teams generate or inspect software directly without a shared design file. Whether Figma stays central now depends on future workflow behavior, not conference hype, as rivals like Anthropic's Claude Code and Claude Design push teams to skip design handoffs entirely.

WHY A BITTEN ‘T' FROM 1889 WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR FATYPE'S STATES

Inspired by the quirky imperfections of late-19th-century American sans serif typefaces, Anton designed States, a new type family that embraces the irregularities of historic metal type while balancing personality with readability. The family includes States Grotesque and States Rounded, linked by a variable Pressure axis that lets users smoothly adjust between sharp and softened letterforms, with numerous stylistic alternates inspired by vintage printing. To accompany the release, the foundry also produced its first printed type specimen in years, showcasing the typeface across a range of sizes.

THE WORLD'S OLDEST FOOTBALL CLUB JUST MODERNISED ITS LOGO, AND FANS ARE FURIOUS

The world's oldest football club, Sheffield FC, has unveiled a radically simplified circular logo for the 2026–27 season, replacing its historic shield, figures, and traditional design elements with a modern roundel intended to reflect its unique heritage and improve digital versatility. While the club says the redesign marks a new chapter, many fans have criticised it as generic, poorly executed, and disconnected from the club's 169-year identity, arguing that modernization could have preserved more of its historic character.
