Are you a designer looking for inspiration? Netflix is packed with alot of inspiring content. So stop scrolling your socials and get inspiration from this documentaries.
1. Abstract: The Art of Design


The eight-part docuseries is an in-depth look into computer design and modern contemporary design with some of the world’s most highly regarded designers.
Abstract brings newfangled technology to the age-old task of explaining what designers do. It’s delightful to see so much money thrown at people who, almost unanimously, think best with a pen and a pad of paper. At its best, Abstract illustrates that work through building tours, crits, and portrait sessions, augmenting everyday reality with animation and digital transformations, making designers into action figures and superheroes.
2. Print the Legend


Print the Legend is a 2014 Netflix-original documentary, directed by Luis Lopez and J. Clay Tweel.
It tells the story of two startups – MakerBot Industries and Formlabs – and the trials and triumphs of their respective founders. Technically, the documentary gives you a superb perspective on the evolution of burgeoning 3D printing space.
3D printers are not a new invention though. They have been around since the 80s. However, their demand exploded in the last decade thanks to the advances in technology and aggressive investments in R&D. All these developments made ‘desktop-sized’ 3D printers a real possibility.
3. Minimalism: a documentary about the important things


Released in 2015 and directed by Matt D’Avella, Minimalism underlines the futility of our tendency to accumulate things. Things we don’t need or things that add no value to our lives. Yet for status reasons, we keep on buying stupid stuff. Actually, we not only buy new stuff, but we also hang on to the old stuff, resulting in a major hoarding probelm. I am sure a lot of you reading this are nodding your heads yes.
Minimalism centres around Ryan Nicodemus and Joshua Fields Millburn. The duo has come to be known as The Minimalists since and they advocate less is more lifestyle.
4. She Makes Comics


The film has done a fantastic job of representing the new and old guard of comics, with interviewees including Jenette Kahn, Louise Simonson, Colleen Doran, Wendi Pini, Kate Leth, Becky Cloonan, Raina Telgemeier, Marjorie Liu, journalist Heidi MacDonald and many more.
Particularly spotlighted are former Vertigo executive editor Karen Berger – whose importance to comics cannot be overestimated – Gail Simone, and Kelly Sue DeConnick, who serves as a passionate and eloquent advocate for comics readers of all kinds.
She Makes Comics touches on subjects such as the early female comics creators, cosplay, Chris Claremont’s X-Men run, the foundation of Friends of Lulu and issues surrounding representation, the realities of female readership and the comic store environment.

Saving money in college can be challenging, but it’s essential to learn how to manage your finances to avoid financial struggles in the future.
Here are some tips on how to save money in college:


- Make a budget: Create a budget that lists all of your expenses, including tuition fees, housing, textbooks, transportation, food, and entertainment. This will help you keep track of your spending and identify areas where you can cut back.
- Use student discounts: Many retailers, restaurants, and entertainment venues offer student discounts. Take advantage of these discounts to save money on everything from clothing to movie tickets.
- Rent or buy used textbooks: Textbooks can be expensive, but you can save money by renting or buying used textbooks.
- Cook at home: Eating out can quickly add up, so try cooking at home as much as possible. Meal prep for the week to save time and money.
- Use public transportation: If you live in a city with a good public transportation system, consider using it instead of owning a car. It can be much cheaper, and you’ll save money on gas and maintenance costs.
- Take advantage of campus resources: Most campuses offer free or low-cost services, such as gym memberships, counseling, and health clinics. Use these resources to save money and improve your overall well-being.
- Work part-time: Consider getting a part-time job on or off campus to earn extra money. Look for jobs that are flexible and won’t interfere with your studies.
- Avoid unnecessary expenses: Cut back on non-essential expenses like eating out, shopping for clothes or gadgets, and going out partying. Instead, look for free or low-cost alternatives.
By implementing these tips, you can save money and still enjoy your college experience without going into debt.

Otile Brown, Kenyan musician, and hitmaker has revealed on his Instagram page today that he lost two MacBook Laptops at Julius Nyerere Airport in Tanzania.
In the long post, the hitmaker revealed that the airport security refused to help them within three hours after he reported the theft. He added that they refused to check their CCTV footage.


“so they refuse to offer services when we can trace the laptops just around there’” Otile Brown added.
He went on to say that they still refused to help even after he produced a police report that in his opinion is a procedure in the whole recovery process.


He went on to say that he and his team would have retrieved the laptops within a short period, but he feels that the Airport security staff wanted him to loose them completely.
“What is the job of security if they can’t help you? As a lover of Tanzania, I have been hurt so much. I need a lawyer,” Otile added.
