How to make ombre text overlays: Instagram stories design tutorial

by Liz Gumbinner | Social Media, Tips and Tricks

Leave it to my twelve-year-old-daughter to be way ahead of me on the Instagram design tricks — in this case, how to make an ombre text overlay in Instagram stories. I fell instantly in love. Now we’re not the types (ha) to spend hours making our fonts look...

Got design commitment issues? You need this handy new website.

by Caroline Siegrist | Life and Home

Hot home tech design: 7 devices you never knew could be gorgeous

by Liz Gumbinner | Life and Home

It’s amazing how far home tech design has come, even since we started this site six years ago. What once may have looked sleek and amazing — a baby monitor, a humidifier, even a lawnmower — now looks clunky and dated compared to what’s...

Your iPhone flashlight just got a whole new use.

by Kate Etue | Life and Home

There are times when the brightness of my iPhone flashlight is helpful — like, when I’m helping my kids look for their forgotten shoes outside in the dark, or I can’t read a darn menu in a restaurant. Then, there are times when a little bit of...

It’s springtime! Bring on the warmer weather, chirping birds, flower blooms, lighter layers, and the fabulously stylish wearable fitness trackers that look more and more like cool jewels. Why should you be stepping into the sunny skies with some boring rubbery...

The Garmin Vivofit by Jonathan Adler: Ooh, fitness trackers are getting fancy.

by Jeana | Fitness + Health

Type geeks, your fabulous new font finder is here

by Liz Gumbinner | Websites We Love

I tend to browse lots of places looking for cool fonts that I may never use. (When it comes to typefaces I’m more of a collector than a designer; kind of like having lots of books at home you haven’t yet opened. But I digress.) I’ve just stumbled...
