On personal values
The last few weeks have been intense at work. And then there’s the news of the Russian invasion while we are here continuing with business as usual. Something just doesn’t feel right.
Just a few days back I came across this podcast where the hosts discussed personal values. Personal values are something that helps one identify what matters most to them. These become guardrails to your decision-making while ensuring high quality of work and life. The hosts talk about their journey on how they came up with theirs.
I asked myself — do I have any personal values? Do I hold myself accountable to them? What framework did I follow that helped me in taking decisions? I mean I know they’re somewhere there in my head. But I think I am going to spend some time and jot them down. And probably you should too. Let’s see how they turn out.

Website Design Inspiration
30 years of facts about the world wide web. I enjoyed the brutalist approach to the design. It behaves like this cross between how the internet used to look back then and now.
This website documents interface elements and their evolution with time. The visual design is quite 2022 though. It generously uses gradients, soft shadows and color blocking to highlight sections.
Portfolio website of Nev Flynn, a product designer, and developer based in Ireland. The inspiration seems to be taken from Apple’s Summary sheets. But here the designer has gone a step forward and added delightful interactions with each of the tiles.
Portfolio website of Stick Studios, a creative agency building brand and digital customer experiences. Particularly digging the blend mode over the heading in the website. It’s adding an extra dimension to the page. Also don’t miss their loading animation right before the homepage.
That’ll be all for this one. Hope you enjoyed reading this. Share it with someone who you think will like Hyperlink by clicking on the button below👇 . Stay safe and see you'll in the next issue!
