Greetings,
It’s that time of year when the days are short and cold, but things are still heating up here at Google Design. We spent the first of November in Helsinki, Finland—sipping Glögi, jumping in the sea (brrrrrr!), and putting on our latest SPAN design conference. To give you a taste, we’re trying something new and dropping a bundle of SPAN podcasts all at once! (Take it from us, they sound even better by the fire 😉). We’ve also assembled our second-annual “Best of 2018”—it’s chock full of hand-picked design favorites and award-winning projects, so set aside some time to read about them all.
Ready to put this year in the rearview? Don’t worry—there’s still plenty of forward-thinking articles and recs below to carry you swiftly into 2019.
Warmly,
—The Editors

For this year's Best of Google Design, we asked dozens of Google teams to share their most intelligent, beautiful, and accessible design projects. The result? A refreshing mix of ML-powered experiences and human-scale projects, plus a Salone del Mobile debut, faster web fonts, and lots of lovely Material redesigns. Pop over to the article to learn more about the programs and projects that got our attention in 2018.
