The Secret Law of Page Harmony →
“A method to produce the perfect book.” The perfect book. This is how designer-genius Jan Tschichold described this system. Not the ok book, nor the pretty good book, but the perfect book. This method existed long before the computer, the printing press and even a defined measuring unit. No picas or points, no inches or millimeters. It can be used with nothing more than a straight edge, a...

My Sketch wish list
Hello, Bohemian Coding. I love Sketch. I love it with a passion. I’ve loved it since version 1, and version 2 has done nothing but amaze me and make my appreciation for it grow. I love it so much, that I’ve started using it for “real” work (meaning: my day job at a large design consultancy). The experience has brought me much joy, and has made me realize what’s...
