More and more design studios are showcasing interactive tools in their case studies, and I’m here for it. We went from static PDFs to motion, and now we’re letting people actually play with the brand. It’s no longer just a bunch of rules, the constraints are built into the brand itself. Here’s an example from the recent Stack Overflow rebrand by Koto, featuring various interactive elements. The future of brand design looks good.

I'm seeing more studios and in-house teams building brand-specific visual tools. They generate on-brand backgrounds, illustrations, and compositions. Custom outputs that feel native to the identity. This fractal glass effect generator by Studio Justified for Indicium AI is a good example. I'm also seeing designers creating these for their own workflow or sharing them with the community. Currently collecting the best ones for a new project. If you've made one or came across something interesting, drop it below!

The Phantom Studios site is incredible. From load to navigation, pure joy. Immersive, cinematic, world-building at a level that's hard to beat among studio sites. Normally I'm not a fan of audio effects on websites, but here it just works. I had to nominate them for the Mobbin Awards.

Still thinking about this OpenAI brand video made by Studio Dumbar..

Every designer should learn animation. Why? Because everything looks better with a bit of motion, and with tools like Jitter, there's really no excuse not to. So join me this Friday on for a live masterclass with the Jitter team, and start your journey into motion! ✨
