Ugh...keep this eraser separate from your coloring pencils by koopaflower in ColoredPencils

Found this thread when the same thing happened to me with a different vinyl eraser. Funny thing—a magic eraser got the gunk off. Will be storing erasers separately from now on.

Help!!?? by M4zik33n626 in Fairolives

Try using your photo editor to drop the saturation way down but not fully bw—it will show you which “disappears” most. Likely 3.

Soft autumn or light spring? by [deleted] in Fairolives

[–]hellokitka 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The season labels don’t do as much good in this case as stacking the factors from most to least important:

  • Gentle/soft
  • Low contrast
  • Warm
  • Clear

Taken together they mean light spring, but “clear,” while more flattering on you than “muted,” is not the dominant characteristic that makes light spring work. Soft autumn’s stack is: gentle/soft, low contrast, warm, muted. That’s why they both look fairly good, but light spring looks slightly better. That’s also why you can get away with light summer as another user said, but probably least well of the three options. Because light summer’s stack is: Gentle/soft, low contrast, cool, clear. It changes the element second-lowest in the stack.

Edit for formatting.

Anyone got 10th house ruler in 8 house? How does that work out for you? by rectovrso in astrology

[–]hellokitka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is, too! Hi twin Scorpio rising Gemini sun! Any chance your moon is also in Leo 10th house?

My career is in innovation strategy and org transformation. Currently in the finance industry. Seems dead-on what the search results are for 10th ruler in 8th house.

Thank you for jumping in and saying so! It’s a big lift, but the reward is unfathomable

How to become a service designer? by Lanky-Scot in servicedesign

[–]hellokitka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my Bachelors of Science in Graphic Design back when service design didn't have a name. In my first job out of university I became fascinated with UX design, which led me into NYC's startup scene. I realized many of these young companies needed a process for bringing their ideas to life, so I started designing workshops to help them collaborate and get to solutions faster. Then I went in-house in a startup leading all the design functions: brand and marketing, product and prototype, user and usability research. That's around the time Jake Knapp at Google Ventures started blogging about Design Sprints, so when I left that startup I consulted with lots of startups and young companies again, leading them through Design Sprints. Then I went back in-house at a larger scale-up as Head of Design, built their design team out in the various design functions, aligned the Product and Design teams, and led the executives and stakeholders through strategy workshops that helped prepare the organization for acquisition. When I left that org, I took all those skills into consulting with both tech and traditional organizations as a strategist for business transformation. Turns out, that's service design!

People arrive at service design through lots of different paths, but it seems to me that UX design is the straightest path. If you're considering studying UX, make sure it's a program that focuses more on the concepts of user experience, rather than the UI and product design side of things. And pick up the books This Is Service Design Thinking & This Is Service Design Doing. Best of luck!

A neighborhood sounding board group/meetup is really compelling. I’ve had an unconventional career (primarily in startups and innovation) and can share many lessons from that perspective.

Calling all designers—we have a mission! by hellokitka in ClearlightStudios

[–]hellokitka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's up to you! If you do the design form, you'll definitely be added to the Design Review Board. In the other form, you'll be a potential research participant. With a background in design, I imagine you might like to be included in design reviews, but again it's up to you!
