    Google's New Aesthetic, Blue Wendy's, Spotify's Disco Ball, and More Design News

    What do we call the dark mode gradient era? The blue Wendy's is practically unrecognizable (and unappetizing?). Also everybody relax, the Spotify disco ball is temporary. This is the cutdown of the live show. IN THIS EPISODE: Google I/O announced a lot, but let's talk about their branding. Wendy's is updating international stores to sky blue. Spotify's Disco Ball wasn't given a fair chance. Google's all in on XR, VR, AI, and audio glasses, but they're calling them intelligent glasses. People are watching vertical YouTube Shorts on their TVs. The new XP Pen Pilot Pro helps you edit videos. Insta360 releases really powerful microphones. Substance 3D updates. National Parks Poster and Sticker Design by Dorothy Waugh. What's in an art movement name. How to make charts with visual integrity. UI/UX accessibility rules. The websites we lost being rehabilitated by The Useless Web. Take a little creative break with NoomaLooma.

Plus: Nikon takes a $550 million hit, Canon drops a 7K camera built for video, Instagram rolls out Instants, and of course Font of the Week. 🔗 Find links from this episode on Raindrop: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/may-13-2026-70836041👑 Font of the Week Winners: https://ryanselvy.raindrop.page/font-of-the-week-winners-59521268 ⭐️ Follow Ryan YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RyanSelvyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/RyanSelvyhttps://www.RyanSelvy.com 🎥 Additional editing by ⁠Zachary Bromberg⁠: https://www.zacharybromberg.com/ File New is produced with the support of Adobe Live, where Ryan streams live every Wednesday as a paid freelance host.
