The weekly notes format isn’t working very well for me. I miss being able to share something that interested me the moment I read or found it. I need to introduce a way to publish these little snippets in an easy way.
But what did my radar pick up last week?
- Steph Ango published an improved version of his Flexoki colour scheme. In his words, this colour scheme is: ‘designed for reading and writing on digital screens. It is inspired by analog inks and warm shades of paper.’
- Polymath Heydon Pickering has written a text on web accessibility principles that everyone who produces web content and cares about accessibility should read.
- Colossal is one of the best little boxes of surprises. ‘The World in an Acorn’ is perhaps one of the most beautiful and original constructions I’ve ever seen, and I was keen to visit. It was designed by Linfeng Zhou and ‘lives’ in a forest in Rouen, France.
- My mind works better with some structure and organisation. So does my work as a designer. Sometimes it takes time to arrive at an organisational structure that is really flexible and appropriate. Dan Mall wrote a nice article entitled ‘The File Folder Structure Every Designer Needs’. I don’t agree with all the options, but it’s an excellent basis for work.
