Design.
User interface design.\
User experience design.\
Product design.\
Graphic design.
Anything encompassing _design_, by the very definition of the word, goes into this tag.
I decided to start writing about design on this blog, because I like pondering on electronic interfaces.
They're what connects machine to human, and I find it fascinating to see how other people view that very form of art.
But the act of _design_ is a lot wider than just that, which is why you may also find more philosophical musings here.
About anything with _intent_, _thoughtfulness_ behind it.
Naturally, I practice it too.
This website, including its colour palette, layout, illustrations, iconography, is entirely designed by me.
There's also the aspect of [design in programming][page:tag/programming], which goes under its own dedicated tag `#programming` (but `#design` and `#programming` overlap sometimes).

As a designer, I value designs which get out of my way, and let me get the thing done.
Not by virtue of minimalism, quite the opposite, actually.
Sometimes minimalism is appropriate, other times it isn't.
In professional software, the last thing I want to see is a hamburger menu.
On a blog, the last thing I want to see is [a sidebar distracting me from the post][page:design/sidebars].
Colourful icons are ugly, but are easier to read than monochrome equivalents.
Bevels, embosses, and drop shadows play an important role in communicating which elements are interactable, and how.
Do not omit them.
Google's products are the opposite of good design.
They look and act like toys for 5-year olds, rather than products for professionals.
Anyone who doesn't respect `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` does not deserve my respect.
Including Google.
Dark mode toggled through JavaScript and user settings is bad user experience.
There's a CSS media query for querying dark mode, and it exists for a reason.
_Use it._\
If your light mode looks so bad that system light mode users want to switch away from it, rethink your life choices.
Yadda yadda.
I could go on forever, and you could disagree on any of my points.
