We hope that this year's last compilation of texts about design from Ideacto you are surrounded by a festive aura. Chances are that you are already resting after the rush of shopping and preparations for Christmas Eve and have a little more time to read. Therefore, we recommend a comprehensive report combining a summary of the current year with forecasts for the upcoming one, another portion of design trends and a compilation of tools to improve work with Figma.
You can also start by traveling back in time with the eBay project. And before you indulge in the celebration for good, take a look at the text, which encourages you to think about the consequences of certain design decisions.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Summary of the year from InVison
We start with the InVision report, with which you can feel like at a richly set Christmas table. The title suggests discussing trends for 2021, but the authors of the study admit that they also wanted to outline the context in which we will start designing next year. The result is a text containing summaries, statistics and a mass of references to additional materials. The report is waiting for you herein.

21 years of eBay interface changes
After such a dose of texts, we suggest reaching for an extra portion of gingerbread and reminiscing about old web designs. If you don't remember what was characteristic of websites 20 years ago, at Hacker Noon you can investigate, how the homepage of the eBay platform has changed.
About design ethics
We hope that a few festive days will allow you to take a deeper breath and look at the passing year with some distance. Finally, instead of traditional Christmas cordials, we wish you (and ourselves) that next year will abound with projects created according to the closing advice commodity Suzanne Scacci on ethical design.
