Five on Friday #9: Dashboard, writing, owl, mixtapes and sprints.
Welcome to edition #9 of our Five on Friday, a weekly roundup of links to articles, videos or products that are interesting, inspiring, fun or simply beautiful. Grab your cactus lemon soda, sit back, and enjoy.
Video: Here’s our closest look at the Tesla Model 3 touchscreen yet
Really interesting to see how they tackled the non-physical-buttons challenge in the new Model 3. I’m glad to still see some buttons on the steering wheel, perhaps for some basic controls like Volume and activating Voice Control? I can’t imagine it’ll be nice to glance to the speed in the corner of your eye though.
What is UX Writing?
A good piece by Lisa Sanchez on what it takes to be a UX Writer. As she says: “Many of the things that make UX writing good are the things that make other writing good too: clarity, consistency, precision, self-awareness, a whole lot of revision, and thoughtful attention to the context and the audience.”. Cool job to have for sure.
Music: Noon Pacific
Noon Pacific is a weekly delivered mixtape of songs, using Spotify Premium. Not sure if I’ll use it that often but it looks gorgeous (ht Aziz Firat).
Learn: The Basics of Design Sprints and Other Jargon
Great article on getting in the mood to start with design sprints. It provides good background info on the basics and 4 methodologies behind sprints.
