Spent the morning pulling the first pass of the summer poster. Three inks, one misregistration, and a paper stock that drinks the colour. I think the accident is the design.

The off-register third layer is doing all the work. Keep it.

That paper stock is the whole mood. Which one did you land on?

Four frames from the specimen I have been building for the studio. Same grid, four moods: a quiet serif, a loud grotesque, a mono for the footnotes, and a display face that refuses to behave.

The Q is unhinged in the best way. Please keep the italic.

Honest question for the people who ship: when do you call a side project finished? We are collecting answers for next week’s field notes. Vote, then tell us the messy part.

“When I stop tweaking” is a myth and we both know it.

A small reminder for portfolio review season: the polished case study is not the work. The work is the messy middle you keep deleting. I wrote about why the ugly draft deserves a page of its own.
The accident is the design. The design is the accident.

Studio rule that has saved us twice this month: keep an “almost” folder. Not rejects, not favourites. Just the work that is one decision away from being right. Half of our last release came out of it.

The “one decision away” framing is going straight into my workshop.
