Sideways Interview

I've recently been interviewed about the making of Sideways Dictionary – an online tool that explains technology using analogies, produced by Jigsaw in association with The Washington Post. Here is the interview.

SuperHi is an excellent venture by developer Rik Lomas, aiming to make learning to code fun and intuitive – worth checking out. The interview was particularly enjoyable as it was done by prolific writer-tweeter-designer Daniel Gray. 

On a Sideways note, it was great to see the project recognised at D&AD and picked out by the D&AD President as one of his top ten projects of the year. 

The Language of Design

A brief post to point you to an interview I did with Communication Arts, touching on writing, design, tennis (?), Disappointments Diary, A6 Notebook, Pentone, tone of voice, social media, Smile in the Mind, ideas, New York Times, poetry, Corpoetics, chatbots and 'about us' pages. 

Here is the interview.

Ideas folder

I've contributed a piece to a new site called A Curate's Egg, which asks a single question to a different interviewee every Tuesday and Thursday. Mine was 'Do you have a new ideas folder?' You can read the answer here.
