APPLE OVERHAULS RAW PHOTO PROCESSING WITH IOS 27, SHOWCASES IMPRESSIVE RESULTS

Apple is introducing RAW 9 in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, its biggest upgrade yet to the system-level RAW image processing engine. Powered by on-device machine learning and the Apple Neural Engine, RAW 9 combines demosaicing and noise reduction to deliver sharper details, more accurate colors, and significantly better low-light performance—even when reprocessing older RAW photos from nearly 800 supported camera models.

WHEN BRAND GUIDELINES RUIN YOUR WEBSITE (AND HOW TO FIX IT)

Rigid brand guidelines often prioritize visual polish over web usability, quietly hurting conversion through poor contrast, unreadable type, and missing hierarchy. Testing a brand-compliant homepage against a tweaked version through an AI attention tool showed clarity and focus up ~20% and predicted engagement with the main call to action up over 80%. Rather than treating brands as sacred, businesses should test whether their branding actually communicates intended values and works on screen, fixing readability conflicts before considering a full digital-first rebrand.

BUILDING ACCESSIBILITY INTO A CANVAS-BASED PRODUCT

Figma built a synthetic "Mirror DOM" to bring screen reader and keyboard accessibility to its canvas-based renderer, which otherwise bypasses the browser's native accessibility tree entirely. The system relies on an internal accessibility tree that generates per-layer summaries, a recursive React component that mirrors those layers into hidden but spatially-positioned DOM elements, and bidirectional syncing between canvas selection and system focus. This work expanded from Prototype viewer support in 2022 through FigJam and Design/Dev Mode/Slides improvements in 2024-2025, developed with accessibility feedback from Fable's assistive-technology users.

FIGMA'S LOREDANA CRISAN TALKS TASTE, LAST-MINUTE DECISIONS AND THE ART OF PRIORITISATION

At Config 2026, Figma unveiled new AI-powered features while reinforcing its belief that AI should enhance—not replace—human creativity. Chief Design Officer Loredana Crisan argued that great design comes from making, experimentation, and human judgment, with AI serving as a tool that supports creative work rather than automating it. She also highlighted the importance of fostering a culture where ideas can gain momentum, designers embrace AI-driven experiences, and empathy remains the most valuable skill as the industry evolves.

10 AI SKILLS TO GIVE YOUR CODING AGENT REAL DESIGN TASTE

Design taste isn't something coding agents have by default — they need it packaged as installable rules, much like the ten markdown-based skills covered here, spanning color science, Swiss grid systems, and brand-specific style generation. Each skill teaches a distinct design language that agents apply automatically once installed in a project. Design knowledge is moving from static references humans read to executable rules agents run directly.

TRUMP'S PLAN TO REDESIGN EVERY .GOV WEBSITE LEADS TO AI-DESIGNED HORRORS

The National Design Studio, created by Trump's 2025 executive order to redesign 27,000 government websites in three years, has produced mostly single-page sites and faces mounting criticism a year in. Investigations found NDS sites used undisclosed commercial trackers, built unauthorized versions of vote.gov and passport.gov requiring sensitive identity verification, and shipped AI-generated errors like a six-toed child on TrumpRX.gov. Agencies are now resisting NDS outreach, and a July 4 deadline for new web design standards has quietly been dropped from the executive order.

WHY MAKING A BRAND FEEL LIKE ITSELF IS THE REAL CHALLENGE

Strong brand systems make visual consistency easier than ever, but many brands are losing their distinctiveness because their behaviour—personality, tone, pacing, and confidence—is harder to define and maintain than logos, colors, or typography. As content production scales across more channels and teams, consistent brand behaviour becomes a key differentiator, with motion design playing a particularly important role in expressing a brand's character and making it instantly recognizable.
