Wow, it’s been two years since I started this project.
Most posts take a lot longer than I expected them to at the beginning. The amount of dissection, research, design suggestions and mock-ups required for even small issues end up being fairly in-depth. I’m glad I started this blog and I’ve found it very useful.
I started a companion Twitter feed as a way to disseminate my writing. It’s also good for the occasional quick design observation.
So much of what I do for work involves progressive updates to existing interfaces, rather than creating new designs. Looking at small pieces of other systems proves useful for exercising a critical eye for often overlooked elements and processes. At heart I’m an information architect (I did go to library school!) more than a designer.
This air freshener was in a bowl of candy at my vet’s office. I totally thought it was a dog treat. Context matters 🙂
