Write your first design brief
Spot a weak detail, name what is wrong, and turn it into a request anyone could act on
.md to any page URL, or send Accept: text/markdown, for a Markdown version of any page.Here’s a Northwind signup card, styled the way a generator left it. Every field works, nothing is broken, and no one would trust it with their files.
The course is one loop, spot, name, fix. This lesson runs it on one card, then hands you a second.
Last lesson you spotted and named. Now you repair. Look at the card below and list what feels off before you touch it.
Step through the four passes. Watch what each changes, and what it refuses to.

Four things were weak, one per domain:
Fix in order: copy, type, spacing, motion. Words shape everything else, so settle them first.
You build nothing. Your output is what you’d hand an AI or a teammate: what you noticed, why it’s weak, what to change.
A grey sliver appears in Northwind’s corner: “Error. Sync failed.” in tiny text, an “OK” button, no breathing room, no motion. Run the four passes in order, one change per pass, before the hints.
From memory: list the four passes in order, and say why copy comes first.
Next, the voice a typeface speaks in before you set a word.
