Tech has never been this artless which is super annoying because I’ve never seen so many artists this closely involved with developers. It’s not a great look if you want creatives onboarding

I think corporations like superrare gatekeep the “taste” and “beauty”. But on the other side.. Marketplaces like opensea categorize and treat art too closely to other financial digital assets with their charts and analytics UI. They also have no failsafe or curation against stolen artwork or AI slop.

Totally this. What’s bugging me is branding and communications. There are so many people here who can’t make products more appealing and easy to understand. Teams literally communicating they see no value in good design or copy. It’s not great

Tbh it’s hard. Here’s my thesis. From a Web3 UI Designer’s perspective… 3 things: Lack of skills due to bootcamps, Lack of articulation skills (gritty sales) Lack of stakeholder co-signs Since designer got a cozy 60k-100k design job in web3. No need to trade memecoins, no incentive to test the tech or point out the obviously flaws in the system. No incentive for a technical background. Society is used to copy/pasting flows. eg, warpcaster & zora. They view exploratory design as wasteful, after all… we’re early. We just have to be the first to plug in a smart contract. Right? Articulating value is the hardest part for any designer, most don’t have sales grit. It isn’t taught. But it’s required in stakeholder meetings. The new designers can’t explain their work anyways because they did a Linkedin bootcamp or copied a tutorial. They aren’t passionate. Even when they are, they sit back cause dev knows more. (sorry this is sloppy explanation I may write about this in depth.)

Would love for you to write more 222 $degen There is a lot I don’t know but what do know is growth hacking, vc funding has ruined vibes. The notion this is a collaborative environment is dead. There are great professional designers and writers out here with a great deal of experience onboarding people to web 3, not to mention educating in web2. They can learn from stakeholders and be more successful doing so. I’m not convinced founders can’t do a whole lot better. Steve Jobs just couldn’t
