Since it's #Friday, here's something I've been working on while trying to find a new role. This is a 3D-printed badge designed for an online contest based around colour. (I think it's obvious as to why that's the theme.) My approach was to create something that people could customise, without having to conform to a rigid design. They don't have to use the same colours (or layouts) that I have, and I would prefer them not to. https://lnkd.in/ebeJkZJs #3dprinting #colours #badge #printables

"21 Tools Every Product Designer Needs" Throughout my 25-year design journey, I've continuously acquired a variety of essential tools as they became necessary for different projects. Over time, some tools were lost, likely due to their small size, but after years of use, I've identified 21 essential tools that a product designer simply can't function without. These include "Vernier caliper, screw gauge, steel ruler, folding ruler, rotary measuring ruler, set squares, measuring tapes, thickness gauges for bovine hides and ovine skins, magnifying glass, pic glass, compasses, scissors, staplers, pencil sharpener, eraser, staple pins, a technical levelling tool pen, DST/Scotch tapes, and even an extra pair of reading glasses." In my new Design Studio, I finally found a pegboard that’s the perfect size to give each of these tools a dedicated place. I call them my ‘MINI-ESSENTIALS.' Now, I’ll never have to worry about missing something during a design or development discussion—they’re all right there, ready when I need them!! #StudioSRZ #OneFineLeather #DesignEssentials #CreativeStudio #ProductDesign #ProductDevelopment #DesignJourney #DesignersTools #ToolsOfTheTrade #EssentialTools

No guesswork! 2️⃣ 1/4" Bleed: Include a 1/4” bleed on all sides so your design extends all the way to the edges—no white borders where you don’t want them! 3️⃣ CMYK Build: Always design in CMYK, not RGB, to ensure your colors come out exactly as you envisioned in print.
