Adobe's XD team reveals how Photoshop got its spots, Illustrator its stripes and more.
Adobe's experience design team has launched Inspire, a new online publication designed to describe and discuss the interface design decisions the team of over a hundred designers, researchers and developers makes.
In his The Value of Experience blog entry, Director of Experience Design for Adobe Systems Josh Ulm wrote:
"Obviously, I hope that the work of my design team is bringing more value to you and your work. And with the launch of Inspire, I hope that this effort too brings more value to the work that you do. I hope that you are able to come here, hear our stories and find inspiration in them. I hope we're able to answer your toughest questions and give you unprecedented insight into the direction of our products. But most of all, I hope you are able to contribute to the conversation. Because I'm confident that that dialog will be the most valuable part of this experiment."
The blog feed also includes entries by:
• Ty Lettau on the importance of experience design
• Jamie Myrold on the XD Creative Suite Team
• Julie Baher on Designing a Suite World
