One small layout change.
One completely different
user reaction.
When it comes to destructive
actions, design is responsibility.
Are we protecting the user from
mistakes?
Or are we making it easy to
regret a click?
Button hierarchy.
Spacing.
Visual weight.
Primary vs secondary emphasis.
These aren’t aesthetic choices.
They shape behavior.
A good designer doesn’t just ask:
“Does this look clean?”
They ask:
→ “Does this prevent errors?”
→ “Does this feel safe?”
→ “Does this reduce hesitation in the right way?”
Micro-decisions create macro-impact.
So tell me which interaction feels safer?
A or B? And why?

What are the unwritten rules of good design?
Like everything, the labels and stickers that hide on the undersides and insides of our products have been considerately designed, often following strict brand and system rules.
I love systems, so typographic, grid-based design will always have a place in my heart. This is my small tribute to micrographics, each following the systems I've been seeing in the wild.
I'm a simple man: I see nice typo + microdesign = I press goat
What’s something you’ve designed just because you couldn’t help yourself?
I’ve been testing micrographics by designing care labels for my plants. I always leave instructions when I travel, so I turned it into a little design experiment.
Which direction would you push further?

My goat, like it
If websites came with a care label, what would yours say? 🤔
I've been thinking about how micrographics, those small labels usually found on packaging or clothing tags, could translate to the web.
As web designers and developers, we know there is *so* much invisible thinking behind a site: structure, performance, accessibility, content systems… and we rarely see it. 👀
As builders, we think about these things constantly, but users rarely see them. Maybe there’s value in making the craft more legible.
What do you guys think? 💭
This is such a fun concept. The care label idea makes all that invisible work visible in a really clever way. "Reduced motion safe" and "92 Lighthouse" on a tag would tell you so much about how thoughtfully a site was built. Would love to see this become a real thing designers actually share with clients.

Micrographics started as utility - barcodes, packaging, instruction labels. How would you use them?
