The Condensed Blog Manifesto

Notice: My goals have changed since this post was first written. I’m still eager to improve my writing and engage in dia­logue with other designers, but I’m no longer con­cerned with the length of my posts. I’ve left this post here for posterity’s sake.

This is where I will dis­cuss my thoughts as they relate to design. There’s no need to create another design blog of useful lists or in-depth tuto­rials—that market is already sat­u­rated. I want a place where I can solidify my ideas through writing and hope­fully pro­voke con­ver­sa­tion, as I don’t want my ideas to exist in their own vacuum.

I aim to keep posts succinct—not exceeding 300 or so words. Online readers read dif­fer­ently; scan­ning is com­mon­place and longer arti­cles are TL;DR. Of course I won’t sim­plify to the point of leaving out infor­ma­tion, but rather work to dis­till my writing.

It will be an inter­esting exercise.
