A Brief Message
What do people really want from design writing? More importantly, what can people do without?
That’s the question posed in the first post of A Brief Message, which “features design opinions expressed in short form—200 words or less.” Editor Liz Danzico explains:
With increasing sources for design reading and decreasing time to keep up, I looked at it as a large nod toward consilience. There’s a need for less, a need for approachable wisdom, and a silent plea for constraints.
By the time you finish reading each Message, you’ll hardly have finished a cup of coffee or taken the after-lunch stretch. Before you know it, it will be over. Just like that. And just like that you’ll know more. You’ll have more opinions. More context. More inspiration.
I’m looking forward to seeing what A Brief Message offers up. Go check it out, if nothing else, for the layout and typography.
