@zachlieberman This is so sick. Zach is such a G. Heard him speak a few years ago downtown NYC

@zachlieberman Maeda the minimalism GOAT

@zachlieberman What a legend!

@zachlieberman That Maeda book is a bible. We all bought it at the time. Instant classic.

@zachlieberman go @zachlieberman !!!!

@katiewav @zachlieberman zach lieberman is such a legend, love his work.

@zachlieberman Ten years of daily sketching is a remarkable practice, and Lieberman sits right at the boundary between art and technology that interests me most. Looking forward to this episode of Source Material.

@zachlieberman man i love zach

@zachlieberman The fact that theyre the same height made this even better

@zachlieberman yeah this rocks

@zachlieberman Thanks for sharing this

@zachlieberman the OG

@zachlieberman The mix of Maeda, Wyman, and Lieberman makes this feel like a great map of computational design’s evolution.

@zachlieberman

@zachlieberman the arm in arm by remy charlip mention is such a perfect pull for zach's world, that book is pure playful constraint

@zachlieberman the GOAT

@zachlieberman Cuốn Design by Numbers của John Maeda đúng là nguồn cảm hứng bất tận cho dân creative coding luôn á. 🎨

@shallowveneer @zachlieberman Thanks for sharing 🤝

@zachlieberman Good curation. The timestamped examples make the reference trail feel like part of the lesson, not a reading list.

@zachlieberman J'étais à une expo creative coding l'an dernier, Lieberman nous avait déjà soufflé des idées qu'on essaie de reproduire sur nos événements Alesia.

@zachlieberman Curating a timeline of historic design moments is cool, but finding the right convos to drop them in eats hours. captures your progress and finds relevant threads, saving you the scroll.

@zachlieberman One of my all-time favorite creatives

@zachlieberman the book stack is solid but the real flex is fitting ten years of daily sketching into a nine-minute talk

@zachlieberman the john maeda to zach lieberman pipeline remains undefeated

@zachlieberman Legend

@zachlieberman Best series on craft - recc it to all designers, creatives (developers too)

@zachlieberman 👀 @johnmaeda 🤗

@zachlieberman the arm in arm book by remy charlip is such a perfect pull for this list, feels like the secret root of so much playful visual thinking

@zachlieberman I love books. I love design. When both come together, it's a blast. 🥳🥳🥳 Great to see a person who adore books.

@zachlieberman I'm still motivated for MIT

@zachlieberman shoutout the 🐐 @johnmaeda !

@zachlieberman hahaha

@zachlieberman Interesting lineup of creative influences and resources.
