Going through @CakeBitesize content training - some great practical tips e.g. on use of bold and tone - that I haven't seen so explicitly written down before (it's somewhat implicit in other style guides)

We’re no longer bitesize but the e-learning is still great! Reposting the Cake making machine GIF one more time for old times’ sake. 😊 #UCD #UX #ContentDesign #Content #Information #Usability #UserResearch #UserCentredDesign #HumanCentredDesign

If your government (national, local, whatever) or organisation (public, private, whatever) has ever made use of the GOV.‌UK Design System (code, guidance, whatever), please reply and let us know what impact it had. RT for reach? Thank you! 🙏

Chipping away at the content – rationalising, reducing, clarifying: this can be how #ContentDesign gets initial recognition within an organisation. Getting some really clear, user-centred content up and live can be of big value. Let's consider it #MicroContentTransformation.

🧵The built-in alt text descriptions for emojis aren’t always helpful. Non-screen reader users - how would you describe these emojis to someone who is blind or partially sighted? 😕 #WorldEmojiDay

this seems very bad for anyone that owns one of these bikes—you have to unlock it with the app! and unless something has changed, it's owned/maintained by an external vendor... who won't keep it up if they aren't paid

What makes an accessible, easy to read font? “Do have: • Tall x-height: the height of lower case letters like m, a, x, and r. • Height difference between ascenders and capital letters, so for example, capital "i" and lower case "l" look different…” gathercontent.com/blog/what-make…

Designing a high-converting form is not achieved by using float labels. It’s achieved by: 1) Asking minimal questions 2) Making those questions clear 3) Using simple interactions that users understand Prioritise the hard work over visual fluff.

Do I know anyone who could offer #GraphicDesign work experience this July for a Year 11 student? She took Design GCSE early and will have just taken the Graphics GCSE exam. Absolutely loves it, work is of a high standard, is thoughtful in her process and has great initiative.

Looking for advice: we have delivery managers from different backgrounds, how can we help ourselves to get a good grounding in digital/technology basics. The outcome we are looking for is that DM’s can ask good questions, plan well and know enough to follow technical chats.
