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%).

Dennis Ritchie, a computer scientist, was able to identify the gaps and tap out the best features from both B and BCPL languages to invent a new hybrid.
Hence, C was born in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. A remarkably simple and highly readable programming language resulted in groundbreaking advancements in the IT industry.
✅What is C++ Programming?
C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations.
✅C++ Career Prospects:
With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack

7. Baltic Sea in
Poland
Martin Vorel, 2018
To achieve the dreamy
effect of the long
exposure, which required
an exposure of at least
20s, I had to wait until
long after sunset.
Because I didn't have an
ND filter that can extend
the exposure.
8. A dark winter lake on
the outskirts of Prague
Martin Vorel, 2021
10. A snowy tree in Prague
Martin Vorel, 2018
I took this black & white photo on
a hill in Prague. Fresh snow had
just fallen and everything was
beautifully white. In the
background is a panorama of the
Prague skyline, but it is hidden in
"white darkness".
12. Nature Minimalism
Martin Vorel, 2021
Minimalist abstract nature photography in pure clarity. Black
and white silhouette of a twig in the shape of a wave with
white snow in the background. On the day this photo was
taken, I took the 3 most beautiful photos of the whole winter.
13. Tree in the Snow
Black and white photo of a tiny tree in the snow.
This is my second favorite photo I took that
winter. As soon as I saw the tree, I knew I had to
take a picture of it. I fell to my knees and took
pictures for several tens of minutes. People
walking around probably thought I was crazy. But I
think it was worth it!
Martin Vorel, 2021
14. Winter Minimalism
Minimalist photography in the style of
Japanese Zen Buddhism. Third photo in this
series. When it snowed in January 2021, it
stayed on the ground for about 14 days. This
is very unusual. Normally, our snow melts by
the next day. After a few days, I finally find
time to go out with my camera. I felt like in
paradise. There were so many beautiful
twigs and trees growing from the snow :)
Martin Vorel, 2021
15. Dead Thistle Flower
Martin Vorel, 2022
Photograph of a dead thistle plant
whose spines below the flower are
twisted into a spiral, creating
beautiful and photogenic shapes. The
spines on dry thistle flowers almost
always grow straight. Sometimes,
however, they twist into spirals or
into strange shapes where the
flowers look like they are dancing.
16. Silhouette of Willow Branches
Martin Vorel, 2018
B&W photo of thin twigs in the shape of curls. I was just going to
work from my mother’s house when I noticed what beautiful
shapes nature can create. If you want to find similar things, look
not only around you but raise your head and look above you. You
will definitely discover beautiful things!
17. Organic Shape
Martin Vorel, 2021
Nature can create such beautiful geometric shapes. I often go out and look
for them. Usually, I don’t find anything. But sometimes I’m lucky. This also
happened one day I spent around the Konopiště chateau. I discovered a
small meadow that was completely ordinary at first glance. On closer
inspection, I noticed dozens of beautiful dry plants of strange shapes. I
walked through the whole meadow and inspected each individual plant. In
the end, I chose two and took them home. And so this and several other
photographs were created.
18. Dead Flower
Photograph of a dead thistle plant whose spines
below the flower are twisted into a spiral. This
photo is the most abstract of all in this series (Dead
Thistle Plants). I only captured the spirally coiled
spines growing directly under the bloom.
Martin Vorel, 2021
20. Abstract Prague
Martin Vorel, 2022
The creation of this photograph has been in my mind for a long time and I’m really
glad that I finally managed to make it happen. I shot by setting a high aperture of
f/18.0 and a long exposure time of 1.6 seconds. I then pressed the shutter button
and moved the camera up and down during the exposure to create the desired blur.
21. Prague Castle Silhouette
Martin Vorel, 2022
This photograph was actually taken by accident. I was taking
an abstract photo of Prague Castle and noticed that through
the leaves, Prague Castle looks completely different from
what we are all used to.
22. The Baroque granary
Martin Vorel, 2022
This baroque building from the 18th century belonging to the farmstead of Týnice
near Prague. The massive building made of rubble masonry is located in a
dominant landscape position.
23. Fog in Prague
Martin Vorel, 2021
I captured this serene moment while strolling along the Vltava river in Prague on a chilly January
morning. The thick fog had enveloped the city for several days, adding an ethereal touch to the
already mystical atmosphere of Prague.
24. Dark & Abstract
Church in Prague
Týn Cathedral is a famous and beautiful Gothic
church on Old Town Square in Prague. I took this
photo on my way home from shooting abstract
photography of Prague Castle and I used the same
method. A bit longer exposure time and moving the
camera up and down during the shoot.

Abstract image of the interior
of Corpus Christi Chapel in
Kutná Hora. Beautiful gothic
vault and columns illuminated
by the sun rays shining through
the small windows.
27. A Swan in Prague
I took this photo by pure chance. I waited more
than an hour in line for antigen tests on Covid-19 on
the banks of the Vltava River in Prague. Then the
swans arrived. I came very close and they didn’t run
anywhere because they were waiting to get
something to eat. The contrast of dark water, white
swans, and snow was beautiful.

28. Great Egret
Martin Vorel, 2021
At this pond I usually see many
beautiful animals such as Grey
herons, cormorants, nutria or
swans. But I saw a white heron
for the first time here. It was
sitting on the other side of the
large pond but luckily I had my
Nikkor 200-500mm telephoto
lens with me. I set the lens to
500mm, exposure time to 1/640s,
aperture to f/16 and ISO to 1600.
29. Snail Shell
Martin Vorel, 2021
The snail shell has long been
an example of nature's
perfection and symmetry. I
collected shells and searched
for the most beautiful one,
then I placed the shell on a
black blanket, illuminated it
from the side with a building
reflector, and with the help of
a Tamron 90mm macro lens I
took dozens of different
photos. And this was the best.
30. Highland cattle
Martin Vorel, 2021
I took this photo on the outskirts of a
small village near Benesov in central
Bohemia. Although cattle were not
traditionally bred here, they have
become very popular nowadays.
To get a portrait of the cow's head, I
had to use a long telephoto lens set at
450mm. Thanks to the low aperture of
f/5.6, only the head is in focus and the
rest of the body is slightly blurred.
31. The Swan
Martin Vorel, 2018
Black and white photograph of a
beautiful swan swimming on the
dark surface of a lake. There was
only this one swan on the whole
pond that day. She must have
been a little bored or hungry
because as soon as I approached
the water she swam right up to
me. At first I was a bit scared of
her as she came dangerously
close to me 🙂 But eventually we
became friends and she followed
me wherever I went.
33. Birches in motion
Martin Vorel, 2021
Another photo was taken at my
favourite place near the village of
Dubeč. On the opposite shore there
were two beautiful groups of white
birches surrounded by dark deciduous
trees. I tried to photograph the white
trees and their reflections on the
surface of the water so that they were
vertically blurred. This technique is
sometimes called 'painting with light'.
The idea is to set a slightly longer
exposure time and move the camera up
and down during the exposure. This
creates this interesting "vertical blur"
effect.
34. Abstract tree
Martin Vorel, 2021
Winter photography of the
famous tree in Prague - Modřany.
Taken by moving the lens zoom
during exposure. This photo is
part of a series in which I try to
capture the most beautiful trees
in the Czech Republic in an
unusual way.
35. Mushrooms in the dark
Martin Vorel, 2020
A group of white mushrooms on a
black background. I took this
photo in the woods near our
house. I found a group of
mushrooms at the base of a tree.
Their white bodies shone
beautifully even though they
were hidden in the shade.
36. The old fisherman and the sea
Martin Vorel, 2020
I took this long exposure photo of the coast near the town of Makarska in Croatia.
That day I took dozens of photos of the coast that I thought would be interesting. And
I completely forgot about this one. I was all the more surprised when I found it among
all the other boring photos. The small fishing boat bobbing on the waves, appearing
every evening when all the other boats and yachts were in port.
37. Poplars in motion
Martin Vorel, 2022
I took this photo in a village near Prague. There are
several poplar trees in a row. I wanted to make an
abstract photo, so I used a longer exposure time of
0.60s. I moved the camera up and down while taking the
photo. With this type of photography it is quite difficult
to find the right combination of shutter speed, camera
movement speed and also to create the desired
composition.
39. Sand Dune in Mongolia
Martin Vorel, 2019
In the westernmost part of the Khongoryn Els sand
dunes in the Mongolian Gobi Desert is the highest
dune, with a peak of more than 200m. Every day
before sunset, dozens of tourists from nearby yurt
camps arrive in tourist minibuses. They all have
one goal. To climb the highest peak and watch the
sun set behind the dunes.
40. People and fishermen
silhouettes
Martin Vorel, 2020
I took this photo in the town of Makarska on the coast
of Croatia. I found a concrete jetty with a beautiful
view of the cliffs opposite. A great place for
silhouette photography. I set up a tripod on the stone
breakwaters at the jetty and waited for the perfect
composition. And I think it was worth the wait.
41. The Buddha
Martin Vorel, 2021
A simple photograph of Buddha
in meditation. Minimalist
composition using the silhouette
of a wooden Buddha statue that
was once given to me by my
mother.
42. Sad lonely man
I took this photo in the Podolí district of Prague on
my way home from work. I usually take the quickest
way home. I was in a bad mood that day and
needed to take a walk. A lonely man was sitting on
the wall of Vyšehrad looking dreamily at the
cityscape, so I took a telephoto lens and
photographed him.
