Built for Mars VS HackDesign

Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places but I’m tired of seeing numbered lists of “Design trends to look out for in 202X” with 4 sentences of text between them. I crave longer forms of writing that explains the design aspect of this field. (The only resource I’ve found satisfying was Built for Mars ). Source: over 1 year ago

Hack Design is a design course as well as a curated list of resources and tools: https://hackdesign.org/ It's not limited to web design (though resources relevant to web design make up a large part of the course) but addresses design fundamentals such as colour theory and typography, too. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
