If there is a well thought-out design standard, it should be followed. In practice, great design comes from great designers. That is empirically the case. If a great designer did a first-rate standard, that model should be followed. Great design is not democratic; it comes from great designers. If the standard is lousy, then develop another standard.

A curious consequence is that I have become a minor celebrity.

Beautiful Evidence is about the theory and practice of analytical design.

I have stared long enough at the glowing flat rectangles of computer screens. Let us give more time for doing things in the real world...plant a plant, walk the dogs, read a real book, go to the opera.

Clutter and confusion are failures of design, not attributes of information.

Design cannot rescue failed content.

An open mind but not an empty head.
