I explained what I do, including #plainlanguage, to my brother. He said “Oh, like dumbing it down”. He is no longer my brother.
Karen Schriver@firstwren

I'm struck by how people in organizations are often tasked with mounting programs in plain language and/or information design, yet have little idea of what that means or could mean. Just got off a call in which I found myself explaining the field again. #plainlanguage #infodesign

@AngelosTzelepis I can recommend a couple of 15-minute “influencer” videos that might have answered your question.

After clicking on 6 search results and finding zero workable answers, I gave up, started a new document, and just pasted all the objects into it. Great work everyone.

In no design app should I have to fucking search how to adjust the page size. Looking at you, Illustrator. Everything out of Adobe is a garbage disaster.

FWIW: we currently don't include 'deliverable' as a noun but don't tell that to your manager.

Tucupita Marcano shouldn't be banned for life for betting on baseball, he should be banned for life for betting on the Pirates.

@mike_kovacs If you're ever in town Thursday/Friday am, check out Thyme Machine in Bloomfield. Best breakfast sandwiches you will ever have! Also open Sat/Sun, but you will wait in line an hour.

@arh And if you haven’t tried it yet, get a smash burger at Fat Butcher in Lawrenceville. But don’t get it to go; eat it at the counter in and make sure you grab a big handful of napkins. Don’t, under any circumstances, get it to go. BTW, are you still at SPACES?

@mike_kovacs I wanted a change, so I moved to Industrious downtown. First in PPG (31st floor ... magnificent!), then to Liberty Center next to the convention center. But I've since taken a full-time job as a content management developer, and am in PPG. ...

@mike_kovacs Hi Mike! Big fan of Moonlit, ever since they started out doing pop-ups in Bloomfield, before they opened in Dormont. Also the Uptown location. Also a fan of Fat Butcher, but haven't tried their burger. Will do! ...

@markgiffin Ha! I considered purchasing the Omega/Swatch collaboration over the weekend. Looks like that would fall right in the center.
