Blank pages, Researcher-in-the-loop, Design’s craft crisis

This weekly curated resource highlights key concepts in interface design, emphasizing that minimizing user memory load through visible elements is a long-standing usability principle. It notes that blank pages and untouched perfect ones are undesirable starting points for interaction. The newsletter features a sponsored AI for UX Design course, offering practical skills and a back-to-school discount. Editor picks delve into AI-enabled UX research, the complexities of AI ethics, and the financial investment in making AI smarter. The UX Collective, an independent design publication, aims to amplify diverse design voices and encourage critical thinking.

Additional content touches on redefining UX processes, AI's impact on design craft, and lessons from luxury goods on adaptation. Tools and resources discuss responsible AI auditing, the UI for agentic commerce, and the power of effective metaphors. The newsletter concludes with ways readers can support its continued publication.
