HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) review: OLED convertible promises much, and delivers
The HP Spectre x360 14 (2024) 2-in-1 is a classy operator, especially in the high-spec trim we’re reviewing here. The OLED touchscreen is responsive, the internal components have plenty of grunt, and there's a stylus in the box rather than being a costly extra. There are some excellent design touches in an otherwise conservative chassis, and despite a noticeable fan noise, it’s a superb coming together of technologies that has become the convertible laptop to beat.

That's a $100 saving and the cheapest it has ever been since launching in February 2023.
How to make an indie film on a budget
With platforms such as TikTok and Reels, and free tools such as CapCut and iMovie everyone who has a phone can now be a cinematographer.

New WWDC keynote logo suggests Apple has a need for speed
A few weeks back, Apple gave us its least cryptic event invite design ever, with the 'Let Loose' design – featuring an Apple Pencil – turning out to precede the announcement of an Apple Pencil (oh, and a a couple of iPads). And now the comapny has revealed the illustration for its WWDC keynote which, while not quite as revealing as last time, does offer some pretty clear clues.

This DJ's logo makes ingenious use of negative space
We love a nice use of negative space here at Creative Bloq, and the technique has been used for such timeless logo design secrets as the hidden symbol in the FedEx logo. These days even DJs have logos, and DJ Étienne de Crécy's is plugged into the design trend.

This is why McDonald's wiped the smile from its Happy Meals
What's a McDonald's Happy Meal without a smile? Just a meal, with whatever emotion you happen to be feeling at the time.

Why brands "obsessed with their customers" are winning
Imagine arriving at the airport, skipping the queue to check in, being greeted warmly, and being given a free upgrade. Painlessly passing through security, boarding the plane before everyone else, a welcome drink waiting. Having an amazingly smooth flight, arriving at your destination early, and gliding through immigration – to find your suitcase has been lost. A representative from the airline chooses this moment to ask you to rate your satisfaction with the experience and you score it a zero.
