Flat style, simplified images and limited palette.
The trend was set by interfaces. Until 2010, icons and program design had shadows, volume, and designers created a sense of a three-dimensional image. Today, the majority of the objects are made in the same flat style. Simplified images are often used. The emphasis in this case is based on characters and forms. There is no variety of shades, only basic colors that match the theme.
Flat illustrations are universal. These drawings combine elegance and minimalism. Tenuity focuses the user's attention on the main thing. In this style, you can make an illustration for any field: education, pet business or even industry.

Isometric illustrations
The isometric style brings to mind the geometry and subtleties of working with planes. This is such a visual puzzle: from the 2D plane, the image turns into 3D. The flat design has volume and perspective, but simplicity remains. In this case, it turns out to display more details, because we have the top and two sides at our disposal.
This style is revealed when it is necessary to show objects or a complex internal process. In combination with animations, this option will add uniqueness to the site and help give a general idea, show something big in one picture.

BAROQUE. Baroque is characterized by the artistic form complication. The main attention is paid to details, symbols and allegories. Realistic scenes and characters are often depicted with mythological ones. The paintings are very emotional and brightful. They are characterized by the play of colors and shadows, pomposity and the image in an exaggerated manner.
Everyone knows the classic works of this style. We are going to show the examples of the modern interpretation.

A great article by Ben Moss that unmasks typical delusions and misinterpretations of the UX laws.
Let 's briefly list the seven laws and errors found in their interpretation:
1. Jacob's law. It is true that people like familiar interfaces. But novelty promotes positive emotions and benefits to memory.
2. The goal ingredient The closer we are to the goal, the stronger we feel the desire to reach it. But designers can't know for sure what person's goals are like, and they can make a mistake when substituting a person's ambition to a business one.
3. Miller's law. Even if people are capable of holding only 7±2 elements in memory at the same time, this does not correspond to the objects displayed on the screen. Show all the twelve menu items if you have them.
4. The effect of aesthetics in usability. The more beautiful the thing is, the more convenient people find it. But this does not mean that beauty is enough to make the interface user-friendly.

Tesla Cybertruck is getting closer to production, and as the automaker’s first new model in three years, the company badly needs it to gain its momentum back.
But can the electric pickup truck live up to Elon Musk’s hype and the 1.5 million pre-orders?
Musk has been hyping the Cybertruck as not only Tesla’s best vehicle yet but as possibly the best product ever.
Musk announced that Tesla received over 250,000 reservations for the Cybertruck within a week of unveiling the vehicle.
Generally, Tesla receives a lot of reservations early after an unveiling, and then it tapers off – but that wasn’t the case with the Cybertruck.

Artificial intelligence cannot own a work of art: U.S. Copyright Office.
In an important ruling, the U.S. Copyright Office rejected a request to grant an artificial intelligence (AI) system called the "Creativity Machine" copyright to a work of art that it created.
Creativity Machine's work is called "Recent Entry into Paradise".
Now a three-person board at the U.S. Copyright Office has found that the image of Thaler created by artificial intelligence does not include an element of "human authorship."
The decision calls the "connection between the human mind and creative expression" a vital element of copyright.

Review: Therabody Smart Goggles
This wearable heats up, vibrates, and soothes sore eyes and temples. I don’t want to take it off.
THE MODERN WORLD has ruined my brain. I'm in constant need of stimulation, watching TV and scrolling TikTok at the same time, or playing Tetris while mentally adding all of Jenna Ortega's outfits in Wednesday to my cart. I know. I need help.
I'm not quite the adult equivalent of an iPad kid. At least, I can still put my phone away while in the presence of other people.
But couple my phone addiction with a job spent writing on a computer screen, and my skull and eyes have started to revolt. I'm plagued by eye fatigue and pounding headaches, the latter of which may or may not be a result of the aforementioned habits. Sometimes the headaches are throbbing, hitting me like a bolt of lightning.
For added measure, occasionally my vision blurs for 20 or so minutes before the pain strikes. (These ocular migraines started before I owned a smartphone, for what it's worth).
