Best marketing yet.
Interesting. I'm also looking for tools that tracks the projects I'm working on. Like a daily log; how much time I spend on the projects and turn into data visualization to look back on my progress.
Love the answer.
Charlie: Do you consider yourself an artist or designer? (12:58)
Jony: I think of myself as part artist, part designer, part engineer, part builder, part craftsman, I think it's a real mixture but in all of that I'm genuinely comfortable being surprise, being wrong...
The logos at the footer. :O
I use Tumult's Hype 3 to simulate animation and screen to screen transitions for my web projects. It's a dead simple tool using keyframe-based animation which I could export it as a HTML.
If I need to make a gif, I would use LICEcap to record it.
I'm lucky to work with amazing developers that are able to reproduce when I show them my prototype without needing the actual code.
Designers are problem solvers. This is how I would classify them:
Junior designer: The problems and solutions are there and your job as a designer is to execute the design.
Mid-level designer: The problem is there but the solution is not. Your job is to understand the problem and to create a solution.
Senior designer: The problems and solutions are unknown. Your job is to identify the problem and create solution(s).
Good design solves problems.
What about "bin", "trash" icon?

I still use the save icon as my avatar, it's very distinctive. Ditto what others have mention, no point reinventing the wheel. I see many attempts trying to on the new save icon, looks either like download or no clue what it means.
