Human work, Store Design update, interface quality
Welcome back, everybody. Deep rest was useful for us; we’re fired up and ready to start a great new year. We’ve got so much cool stuff in the hopper that we can’t wait to share.
First up, of course, is our next book, Store Design. Proofs have been approved and the printer is producing the book right now. Once we get copies, we’ll ship to preorders, then friends & colleagues, then we’ll formally launch our onsale, and then after a little bit the price will change to reflect Store Design’s outsize value. Order now & don’t sleep!
This week, for paid members
Our first weekly paid lesson of the year is a comprehensive, evergreen response to Jakob Nielsen’s post. There is another way forward that Nielsen doesn’t immediately recognize. In it, we describe how to expand one’s design practice to be creative in a way that contemporary machine learning models can’t reasonably mimic. Who is the human behind your work?
