Write your first design brief

Take one weak detail through four passes of copy, type, spacing and craft, then motion, and turn what you noticed into a request someone else can act on.

Dana’s sync fails and a grey sliver slides into the corner of Northwind: “Error. Sync failed.” in tiny text, an OK button, no room to breathe. She presses OK because there is nothing else to press, and she still does not know whether her files are safe. You have spotted and named; this lesson repairs.

Step through the four passes on the signup card. Watch what each one changes, and what it refuses to.

Now run the same four passes yourself, on Dana’s toast.
