Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

The document provides guidance on preparing a job search for 2024. It discusses the state of the job market, focusing on growth in AI and healthcare but also continued layoffs.

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub
From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

4. Determining the best way to pose your subject—a way
that is flattering to the individual, appropriate to the
setting and clothing, and visually appealing in the overall
composition—can be one of the biggest challenges in creat-
ing a successful portrait. This is especially true when creat-
ing portraits of women, where the photographer may be
called on to create anything from a very traditional head-
and-shoulders pose to a more adventurous full-length look
straight out of the pages of a fashion magazine. Quite sim-
ply, the variations are almost limitless.
This collection is a visual sourcebook designed to address
exactly that problem. Filled with images by some of the
world’s most accomplished portrait, fashion, and commercial
photographers, it provides a resource for photographers
seeking inspiration for their own work. Stuck on what to do
with a particular client or unsure how to use a given prop?
Flip through the sample portraits, pick something you like,
then adapt it as needed to suit your tastes. Looking to spice
up your work with some new poses? Find a sample that ap-
peals to you and look for ways to implement it (or some el-
ement of it) with one of your subjects.
For ease of use, the portraits are grouped according to
how much of the subject is shown in the frame. Thus, the
book begins with head-and-shoulders portraits, followed by
portraits that introduce one or both hands into the head-
and-shoulders look. Next are waist-up portraits, featuring
images that include the head and shoulders, arms and hands,
and at least some of the subject’s torso. Moving on to three-
quarter-length portraits, the examples feature subjects shown
from the head down to mid-thigh or mid-calf. The balance
of the book features full-length images—the most complex
portraits to pose, because they include the entire body. Both
the three-quarter- and full-length portraits are subdivided
into poses for standing subjects, seated subjects, and reclin-
ing subjects.
It can be difficult to remain creative day after day, year
after year, but sometimes all you need to break through a
slump is a little spark. In this book, you’ll find a plethora of
images designed to provide just that.

This section covers the fundamental rules of traditional
posing—techniques that are illustrated in many of the
images in this book. While these rules are often intentionally
broken by contemporary photographers, most are corner-
stones for presenting the human form in a flattering way.
Types
There are three basic types of poses, each defined by how
much of the length of the subject’s body is included in the
image. When including less than the full body in the frame,
it is recommended that you avoid cropping at a joint (such
as the knee or elbow); this creates an amputated look. In-
stead, crop between joints.
Head and Shoulders Portraits (or Headshots). Por-
traits that show the subject’s head and shoulders. If the
hands are lifted to a position near the face, these may also be
included.
Waist-Up Portraits. Portraits that include the subject’s
head and shoulders along with at least some of the torso. In
portraits of women, these images are often cropped just
below the bustline or at the waist. Waist-up portraits are
sometimes considered a type of headshot.
Three-Quarter-Length Portraits. Portraits that show
the subject from the head down to the mid-thigh or mid-
calf. In some cases, one foot may be visible.
Full-Length Portraits. Portraits that show the subject
from the head down to the feet (or at least the ankles). In
some cases, only one foot may be visible.
Facial Views
Full Face View. The subject’s nose is pointed at the camera.
Seven-Eighths View. The subject’s face is turned slightly
away from the camera, but both ears are still visible.
Three-Quarters or Two-Thirds View. The subject’s
face is angled enough that the far ear is hidden from the cam-
era’s view. In this pose, the far eye will appear smaller be-
cause it is farther away from the camera than the other eye.
The head should not be turned so far that the tip of the nose
extends past the line of the cheek or the bridge of the nose
obscures the far eye.
Profile View. The subject’s head is turned 90 degrees to
the camera so that only one eye is visible.
The Shoulders
Especially in portraits of women, the subject’s shoulders
should be turned at an angle to the camera. Having the
shoulders face the camera directly makes the person look
wider than he or she really is and can yield a static composi-
tion. In women’s portraits, squaring the shoulders to the
camera can give the image a less feminine look (which is
sometimes done intentionally to create an assertive mood).
The Head
Tilting the Head. Tilting the head slightly produces diag-
onal lines that can help a pose feel more dynamic. In
women’s portraits, the head is traditionally tilted toward the
near or high shoulder, but this rule is often broken. Most
photographers agree that the best practice is to tilt the sub-
ject’s head in the direction that best suits the overall image
and most flatters the subject.
Chin Height. A medium chin height is desirable. If the
chin is too high, the subject may look conceited and her neck
may appear elongated. If the person’s chin is too low, she
may look timid and appear to have a double chin or no neck.
Eyes. In almost all portraits, the eyes are the most im-
portant part of the face. Typically, eyes look best when the
eyelids border the iris. Turning the face slightly away from
the camera and directing the subject’s eyes back toward the
camera reveals more of the white of the eye, making the eyes
look larger.
Arms
The subject’s arms should be separated at least slightly from
the waist. This creates a space that slims the appearance of

the upper body. It also creates a triangular base for the com-
position, leading the viewer’s eye up to the subject’s face.
Arms should always be articulated and never allowed to
simply hang at the subject’s sides. Simply bending the el-
bows creates appealing diagonal lines in your composition—
and placing these carefully can help direct the viewer of the
image to the subject’s face.
Most portrait photographers request that the subject
wear long-sleeved tops; even if the subject is thin, bare upper
arms rarely render attractively in portraits.
Hands
Keep the hands at an angle to the lens to avoid distorting
their size and shape. Photographing the outer edge of the
hand produces a more appealing look than showing the back
of the hand or the palm, which may look unnaturally large
(especially when close to the face). Additionally, it is usually
advised that the hands should be at different heights in the
image. This creates a diagonal line that makes the pose more
dynamic.
Wrist. Bending the wrists slightly by lifting the hand (not
allowing it to flop down) creates an appealing curve that is
particularly flattering in women’s portraits.
Fingers. Fingers look best when separated slightly. This
gives them form and definition.
Props. Hands are often easiest to pose when they have
something to do—either a prop to hold or something to rest
upon.
Chest
In portraits of women, properly rendering this area is criti-
cal. Selecting a pose that places the torso at an angle to the
camera emphasizes the shape of the chest and, depending
on the position of the main light, enhances the form-
revealing shadows on the cleavage. Turning the shoulders
square to the camera tends to flatten and de-emphasize this
area. Good posture, with the chest lifted and shoulders
dropped, is also critical to a flattering rendition.
Waist and Stomach
Separating the arms from the torso helps to slim the waist.
In seated poses, a very upright posture (almost to the point
of arching the back) will help to flatten the stomach area, as
will selecting a standing pose rather than a seated one. It is
also generally recommended that the body be angled away
from the main light. This allows the far side of the body to
fall into shadow for a slimming effect.
Legs
Whether the subject is standing or seated, the legs should
be posed independently rather than identically. Typically, one
leg is straighter and used to support the body (or in a seated
pose, to connect the subject to the floor). The other leg is
bent to create a more interesting line in the composition.
Standing. Having the subject put her weight on her back
foot shifts the body slightly away from the camera for a more
flattering appearance than having the weight distributed
evenly on both feet. Having a slight bend in the front knee
helps create a less static look.
Seated. When the subject is sitting, her legs should be at
an angle to the camera. Allowing for a small space between
the legs and the chair will slim the thighs and calves.
One Leg in Profile. In portraits of women where the
legs are bare, it is desirable to show the side of at least one
leg. This better reveals the shape of the ankle and calf.
Hips and Thighs
Most female subjects are concerned about this area. For the
slimmest appearance in a standing pose, turn the hips at an
angle to the camera and away from the main light. In a
seated pose, have the subject shift her weight onto one hip
so that more of her rear is turned away from the camera.
Feet
Feet often look distorted when the toes are pointed directly
at the camera. It is best to show the feet from an angle. In
portraits of women, the toes are often pointed (or the heels
elevated, as they would be in high-heeled shoes). This flexes
the calf muscles, creating a slimmer appearance and length-
ening the visual line of the subject’s legs.
