(This is a sponsored article.) Designers have a strange relationship with trends. On the one hand, when designers follow a crowd, they might feel that they aren't able to express enough creativity. On the other hand, trends can tell designers a lot about user preferences — what people love, what they hate — and ultimately help designers to create products with better adoption rates. People are visual creatures, and visual design has a significant impact on the way we understand products.

Sometime back, Google had announced that it will no longer allow users to upload ads built in Flash to AdWords. Carrying on with that policy, Google has now announced that starting 2017, it will stop running Flash ads altogether. To quote the post on Google+: Starting June 30th, 2016, display ads built in Flash can no longer be uploaded into AdWords and DoubleClick Digital Marketing. Starting January 2nd, 2017, display ads in the Flash format can no longer run on the Google Display Network or through DoubleClick. This news is yet another step towards the demise of Adobe Flash, with the internet clearly steering away from Flash content now. In fact, Adobe has even renamed Flash Professional as Animate CC, and is focusing more on HTML5 content as opposed to Flash. Considering the fact that Flash is a frequent target for security exploits on the internet, its falling out of favor does not come as a surprise to anyone. Google has long offered HTML5 ad creation tools, and the default video player on popular services such as YouTube too has been using HTML5 since 2015. However, many advertisers have persisted with Flash, and a good part of the advertising industry […]* You might also be interested in the following articlesOnline Advertisement and HTML5: New Standards to Replace FlashFour Tools for Creating HTML5 Banners in SecondsAdobe Announces Updates for Muse and Animate CCGoogle Web Designer: No Less than No More Flash in Banner AdsHow Does Google’s New Ranking Factor Mobile-Friendly Affect YourWebAnimator Plus: Sophisticated HTML5 Animations Made Easy

Sunday. I don’t really know why, but on Sundays, I’m usually looking for beautiful and useful things. Bone-dry scripts and tools might be helpful, but they can’t impress me today. In contrast to the gigantic icon set which I just came across, and definitely wanted to recommend to you. The boys and girls behind TheSquidInk offer 1,000 concisely drawn, free icons in many different file formats. The catch? There’s none. 1,000 Free Icons Cover All Aspects of UI Design Of course, around the web, there are more icons than you can ever use. Nonetheless, this set is something special. Not only does it come with the massive amount of 1,000 pictograms, but with that, it also covers the most important application categories that you could have in your design. What’s the point in 100 free social media icons when they don’t suit your overall layout language? The value of an icon set is increasing with the range that it covers. This is where the “Free Mini Icons Pack” by TheSquidInk shines as if it was polished with wax. You don’t need to continue searching when straightforward, monochrome pictograms fit into your concept. These symbols are just what you need.
