Digest #11 — Community profiles and who’s hiring
We’ve been meaning to switch up our playlist and need your help. Add some of your favorite tunes to this playlist and we’ll share them all next time!
Show-Don’t-Tell
Since the beginning of read.cv we’ve off-handedly called it a show-don’t-tell professional network. Today we’re featuring three profiles that embody this spirit by turning their profiles into vibrant portfolios of work.
Justin Cassano
Check out the blissful work of Hudson Valley based illustrator Justin Cassano. We love the range of styles captured in his colorful work.
Bianca Smith
Impactful brand and copywriting from Chicago based brand strategist Bianca Smith. We love the range of projects and perfect amount of context provided on each one.
Niklas Rosén
Calm and methodical digital design from Stockholm based designer Niklas Rosén. We love his masterful use of grids that allows content to shine.
On the Side
A bi-weekly recap of interesting links we've hand-picked from community profiles. Want to see more? Check out our Front Page!
Hometown
If you want to avoid the same old tourist traps and discover hidden gems on your next trip, Zoe Reifel has got you. Explore a variety of cities and plan your next adventure with recommendations so great that they might rival those of a longtime friend!
AbstractbyAI
How can machine learning serve as a gateway to spark creativity? Barbara Schussmann looked to answer this question by training a StyleGAN model on 300 images of abstract art. The Results Will Shock You!™
M00D e-Zine
With little context but a whole lot of love, this e-Zine by M00D is the perfect escape from reality to enjoy on a lazy afternoon. With six different pieces of writing by six different artists, Hamid Yuksel’s project might even inspire you to write a little something of your own!
Sleeve
Music player taking up your whole screen? This nifty app by Alasdair Monk + Hector Simpson lets you control your music right from your desktop (and has some pretty great customization features, as well!)
Shoebox
What started out as a static website generated from a “dingy” GitHub repository has slowly evolved into an incredible lightweight photo sharing service. If you want access, you’re going to have to reach out to Maykel Loomans - it’s still in its prototyping stage!
