Design Vitamins - Issue #1
Fresh new issue requires some Vitamin C.

Welcome to the first issue of Design Vitamins.

Starting with a newsletter allows us to experiment with newer formats and publication styles. Our goal is to provide you with a hand-picked selection of workflows, apps, accessories, brain candies and anything that might improve your Design Vitamin Score πŸ˜‰

We're excited to try out something new and we hope to count on your continued support for this brand new publication. Feel free to send in your feedback, recommendations and anything else. We read every response, y'all send us πŸ€—.
