What’s the secret to good design? Organization of course. Otherwise it’s just a jam session in the basement.
Own the Give Up
It happens. It’s how it has to be. You will, at some point, have to give up. For your own sanity, for your own preservation, you just can’t keep pushing anymore. So when that happens, give yourself a break and really fucking own it.
Slack
Slack abounds. It’s dangling over here and over there too. We all know how it go there. Did you create it or will you pick it up? Those are the options.
Trending Fonts
All fonts on trend today look like they’ve had an ax taken to their corner bits or the extender parts look a little jacked.
Find the Thing, Always
Don’t bury the lead. Don’t miss the turn. Get the big idea. There’s always the thing. That’s what you want. All the other stuff that’s filler, don’t pay it mind. Put your attention on the thing.
Coast to Coast
Most of the video calls taken these days involve people from across the country; DC to LA, NYC to SF. Just the way I like it.
Pick One
Design and the creative process is a game of decision making. If you are bad at making decisions, best not to play.
