New Emoticon Language Offers Therapy For Designers

Designer Ze Frank provides frustrated designers with a collection of substitute emoticons to use in response to emails from clueless account managers who think they know what they are talking about in terms of creative. If you’ve been berated one time too many by creative wannabes for work you think is great, check out Ze’s instructional video on how to incorporate his emoticon “Punctuation Substitutions” into your next response to that puff bag loser.

If this takes off (or if it already has and we’re the clueless loser), agency emails are destined to become a lot more interesting.

Stanford researchers who tracked how people’s social circles change with age found that older adults don’t lose the ability to make friends — they simply get pickier, deliberately keeping fewer relationships that feel meaningful and letting the rest go, a shift linked to higher emotional well-being, not less
