Simple black and white line drawing of a shoal of fish. There is a single fish on its own at the back of the shoal. This solitary fish is coloured in lilac.

#neurodivergence through the medium of fish.

Lilac is my specific #Irlen filter colour.

🤣 fair point, well made sir, I agree

Beautiful 🤩 found haiku on a metal gate

A graphic image of a hand drill floating mid air on a lilac background. Underneath the image of the drill are the French words: Ce n’est pas un exercise. Translates into English as: This is not a drill.

This is not a drill.

This 👇🏼 All day. This. And the next day. And the day after that. And all days hence. My talk “Accessible design, neurodivergent designer” shares my must-haves for real user empowerment. And boy, are they simple IF you bake ‘em in at the start.

Two men facing each other having a conversation. The man on the right has a bird on his arm. The man on the left is looking at the bird and os asking: Can kestrels fly at night? The man with the bird replies: All kestrels manoeuvre in the dark.

OMG it’s OMD 🤣

White roll up shutter that is rolled down. Taped to shutter is a small, torn piece of white paper. On it is written: coming back 10th of Fabruarie. Which I think is meant to spell February.

See you then…

The English Romantic poet Coleridge (1772-1834) came up with an early definition of UX writing:

— best words, best order

Coleridge was also (some of the time) high as a lark on 19C drugs and hurled himself across rock chasms in the Lake District with a long wooden pole.

Can you do me one each of Heroes and Low please?

Really am. I am a bit behind in terms of app a11y and a visual learner. So my real happy space when it comes to LX 🎄

My fave advent cal. Thank you. Really enjoying these.

Venn diagram SME is a Subject Matter Expert. DWD is a Digital Word Designer. Where the circles cross over is where UXD or User Centred Design sits.

#ContentDesign is a collaboration between subject *and* digital experts. Messing about in a venn this is the story so far to express this. DWD doesn’t quite feel right but it’s closer to how I class my role in digital design and development. What do w’all think 🤔 ?
#content #ContentDesign

A beautiful pastoral start to the day. We thank you 🙏

Please.

Quote from industrial designer and writer Dieter Rams. People react positively when things are clear and understandable. The quote is in a circle and written in all capitals. It is barely readable. This makes it a great example of great content that is rendered less accessible by the way it is laid out.

Same wuote from industrial designer and writer Dieter Rams. People react positively when things are clear and understandable. The quote is in a short paragraph that reads from left to right. It is much more readable. This makes it a great example of great content that is rendered more accessible by the way it is laid out.
