Rauno from Vercel wrote a fantastic article with over 20 visual examples of using depth for design, animation, and interaction.
Layers Portugal
On September 20th, the Portugal chapter of Friends of Figma organizes a free full-day hybrid conference for the community by the community. “Expect talks and workshops on the Future of Design, DesignOPS, Design Systems, Creativity and, as always, a lot of amazing Figma tips as tricks.” All talks will be streamed, but I wish I could attend the in-person event in Lisbon!
LGTM Design Conference
Speaking of design conferences, the GitHub Design team recently held its second internal design conference, LGTM. You can watch talks from last year in the YouTube playlist, but a couple of this year’s talks have already been published as well — “Who is the We in the How Might We” on building trust and “Async/Await” on close collaboration across non-overlapping time zones.
