The Brief: Design Twitter is where graphic, web, UX, and other designers discuss the industry and their related interests.
DEEP DIVE
Design Twitter is a name for an online community of designers who engage in discourse. While there is no official “design Twitter,” references to this subset of the app often suggest that those who are active on it know what it is and those who are out of the loop are unaware of its existence. Design Twitter has been known to host conversations, industry discussions, musings, and drama.
Me:
Cool, I'm just guna play around with this design and post it on social, just for fun, you know? Yolo
Design Twitter:
Wtf?! What did you do? The spacing, type, color… everything is wrong. Stupid even. Your pathetic attempt at design makes me question reality itself. pic.twitter.com/ZyrvInkRFy

Iβve been reading POC work stories over the past few weeks and I feel so validated. Iβve been thinking about my own 20-years+ experiences in design and tech as a woman of color, and those spilling the tea are not wrong #designtwitter pic.twitter.com/ToQa8ZLeyG
