    Inspiration and insights #4 — Count Binface, general election websites, and more

    From the newsletter: It’s been a strange couple of weeks for me. The UK General Election campaign is at its halfway point, and the parties are all pushing their messages to voters. I decided to study their websites to see how effective I thought they were. I wrote about what I found and how I might design things differently were the parties to come calling.

    Inspiration and insights #3 — Richard Hollis, 20 years blogging, and more

    From the newsletter: I missed the exact date, but a few days ago, my blog turned 20. I’m not up there with Jeffrey or Jeremy, who’ve blogged consistently for even longer—I neglected my blog for periods of time, and posting was often irregular—but still, here we are. It’s twenty years since my first post.

    Inspiration and insights #2 — Stop using generic stock images and more

    From the newsletter: Sue and I decided to scrap our planned long weekend in Yorkshire and instead drive to Germany to spend time with Alex who moved here last year. We swapped Yorkshire tea for German beer and drove to Mainz which coincidentally has the Gutenberg printing museum. It’s well worth a visit if you’re ever in this part of the Rhineland.
