By Team Stark • Issue #6 • View online

Hey! Welcome to A Stark Difference in Design: A collection of articles, news and inspiration on designing world-class products for everyone. We try to curate signal in a world full of noise. 📝

Tidbits from the web

Dyslexia Bookmarklet. One of the many empathy prompts.

+ Empathy Prompts

We absolutely love this. This particular prompt helps you understand what it’s like to have a cognitive condition like Dyslexia. However, if you click the Try Another button, it’ll rotate to something different like Parkinson’s. What a wonderful tool from Eric Bailey.

Imagery from the Design Ops Handbook

+ Design Ops Handbook

Created by the Design Better crew at Invision, this handbook is meant to help companies who are investing in design get a handle on workflow, and help improve coordination and efficiency in order to build high-functioning teams.

Design+Code: Sound Design Course

+ Craft unique UI sounds for your app

This great course from Meng To and co. is perfect for anyone who wants to design sound and music for apps and games.

+ The Tipping Point

The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate.

Such a great detail of the tipping point phenomenon, sure to change the way you think about selling products and disseminating ideas.

Updates on Stark:

+ Using Sketch to Measure Color Accessibility
