Hey all 👋 I’m sharing a handful of “snapshot” style updates from the Design team from the past couple of weeks. I’d like to try sharing these updates for a couple of months and see if it’s useful!
Here are a few things that have been worked on recently:
Advanced template creation
@jameskoster explored how we might expand the template creation UI to accommodate more advanced templates. Discussion is ongoing in GitHub issue #37407.
Using featured images in various blocks
@joen mocked up how it might look if you could assign your featured image in any block that supports media.
Pattern fills in overlays
@joen also mocked up how it might look if you could use a pixelated pattern fill as an overlay in the Cover block.
Designing the State of the Word
@javiarce and @beafialho wrote a blog post about the design of the State of the Word presentation.
Openverse — New header design
@fcoveram explored a new header idea to solve usability, internationalization, and consistency problems, and also designed a new version of reporting content popover considering usability and a11y concerns.
These projects are just a small sample of recent design work happening in the WordPress community. Have you contributed to the Design team lately? The Make blog is a great place to share process and updates! Feel free to use the comments section below to share your work ⬇️
