In my current position as co-director of InnovationSpace at Arizona State University’s Design School, I spend the bulk of my days working with students and professional and academic colleagues, reimaging what education can do as an agent of change. As I do this, I tend to find cool designs worth sharing. Sometimes, a lot of thoughts fly through my head. This is where these thoughts and ideas finally land. All opinions are mine and mine alone.

LSU. Line Sh!t Up.

Today's online lecture is about alignments, and how lining things up helps us figure out what portions of a design are (or at least should be) related to other elements on a layout. That means today's content search is all about finding things that line up.

Like this stuff by Ellen Pernille Posselt Lihn and Unnie Arendrup. The design is simple enough, making use of heavy rules to compartmentalize and display content.

What I love is that they carried this idea of compartmentalization out into how they display the work. It's fabulous. And it totally feeds my overwhelming need for perfect alignments. It makes me want to break out all of my tools and spend hours lining them up. I can almost feel the calm washing over me now.
