WizNews: Issue 2
Atomic Design, Online Learning, Disappearing Jobs and More!
Dear Team Wiztoonz,
Designs are not about themselves, they are always about something else - Michael Bierut
Here’s the second issue of WizNews, the weekly tech and edu newsletter for you.
CAREER : We’re set for some massive jobs and skills displacement over the coming years, thanks to the adoption of various technologies, particularly AI and automation. Here’s is an article on disappearing jobs in the near future.
DESIGN: It’s very interesting to see the process of design getting its inspiration from other disciplines. How about from Chemistry. Atomic Design is a new way of design flow where the process is inspired from Atoms, Molecules and Organisms! Check it out.
EDUCATION: We are at the brim of a paradigm shift when it comes to education and career. Traditional approaches and assumptions might not be viable for long. Here’s why Online learning is the future. Also check out this interesting video where Randall Picker of University of Chicago talks about this future of education and it’s aftermath.
VFX: Mr.X is an upcoming VFX production house with a brilliant portfolio of films already to their credit. They opened up a branch in Bangalore as well. The team details on the making of Creature FX in their latest, Monster Hunter
TECH: DeepFake and it’s repercussions- Pentagon’s race against the threat. Interestingly on another ethical side, creative VFX artists are using it to fix ugly CGI de-ageing
DESIGN: Dall-E is AI Magic! It takes a cue from your text input and combines images to create new composite images. For inst: Say Lemon and Phone and it gives you an AI-generated image of a lemon shaped phone! Read about it here and watch this video to see how it works!
That’s it for today! See you all next week with more. Feel free to share articles to be featured on the newsletter.
Zaijian! Have a nice day.
