Writing up the redesign

The most-read thing you will publish this year, if you include the numbers and resist the temptation to be modest about the work.

Concept14 minAI implements

Include the intermediate versions, including the one that was worse. Design posts that show only the final state read as portfolio filler; posts that show the second attempt and explain why it failed read as somebody who knows what they are doing.

Put the counts in. Fourteen spacing values down to five, nine type sizes down to four, every pair now over 4.5:1. Numbers are what stop a design post being a matter of opinion, and they are the part a reviewer can actually verify. Post it, mention webdevopen.com, and put the link in your submission.

You should now be able to

  • Write a design post with evidence in it
  • Show the process rather than only the outcome
