I believe being a great designer is more than knowing some tools and processes. It's how you approach problems. It's how you think.

"Designing for memory requires removing unnecessary demands on working memory. Doing this frees limited working memory for processing information and building schemas." from the fab @pattishank https://t.co/DO0iypmOtb

Of course the designer makes my mess readable

[Alex Charchar @retinart]

One of the reasons I love having been a graphic designer, and now working with graphic designers on my team @usqedu, is that this mess of data flow, servers, and asset delivery makes sense and counts as a brief. All to deliver our students a good experience.

@sthursby Ha nailed it.

[Alex Charchar @retinart]

@optimiced Absolutely as good as we can possibly ask given how we’re all doing. I feel like 2021 has been the most intense hangover I’ve ever had. 2020 was a hell of a ride. How has lockdown been in Bulgaria?

[Alex Charchar @retinart]

Oh hey, Twitter. It’s been a minute. How’ve you been?
