Had a little collaborative Figma/Zoom session yesterday with my good friend @sall to figure out the section breaks in my book. If you’ve seen them done elsewhere or have favourite treatments, please let me know!pic.twitter.com/UGMWT9QfzP
Here’s our (wonderfully) messy file.pic.twitter.com/IxTUyGLrYz
Just removed 171 ellipses from my book. Apparently… I really love ellipses. (Next stop: getting rid of “simply” and a lot of the unnecessary italicization for emphasis.)
“Simply” went from 204 to 49 occurrences. (BTW when the book is published, I am planning to release all the drafts, too, so people interested in writing process can check them out!)
I haven’t been giving updates on the book much outside of my newsletter, but! Fifth prototype arrived today. It’s pretty much all the words and all the photos. I feel pretty happy about it!!!pic.twitter.com/v9TJPgxW0C
Fun fact: There are 26 Easter eggs in the book. I don’t know what that says about anything.
There are over a 1,000 photos in this prototype and they *all* look good and they are *all* chosen deliberately and they *all* help to tell the story. Today this is the thing I’m most proud of.pic.twitter.com/Z4iB01s0T5
It’s not even that there are things in the book that are pretty rare, and good photos of which never graced the Internet. The book will also have realistic 3D renders of things that couldn’t be shown before, or renders of keyboards that are no longer with us.
I remember now we'd talked about you borrowing some of my keyboards for photos, but that all got lost somewhere in the corona shuffle I think. Are you still interested in that, or have you all the photos you need?
Thanks for following up! I have been planning to circle back on that once the virus subsides a bit. I still need to travel to Spain to take some photos anyway, so that last few % is on hold.
