Simplicity « LJNDawson

I think this is very true, especially when I take a step back and look. I design eBooks, apps, digital content in a variety of forms. From a design standpoint, I want it to look good, play well so to speak and express the content or design well. So when I see something that doesn’t, it bugs me and I have to remember to step back some times.. it’s not that often of an occurrence, I usually rant about it. 

I think the struggle that comes into play is the line between simple and too simple. Their seem to be degrees of simplicity and I think that in itself can cause issues. But simple seems to be the catch phrase and mentality right now and I think that’s great.

eBooks and ISBNs

Great character that has realm potential. I think there are a variety of comic book characters that could see some interest. If there’s a way I could bring some back or get them going again, i’d do it in a minute.

The question is good as well as it is one asked about many characters. Who owns it? Are they even doing anything or just sitting on it like people with patents just wasting it away?

Hiking along the St. Croix river. (Taken with instagram)

Hello. I’m Neil Gaiman, I’m a multi-award-winning author of lots and lots and lots of different things, lots of awards. So when I heard that I won the SFX Screenwriting Award for Excellence for my Doctor Who episode The Doctor’s Wife, my reaction was just…
Actually, what I was really just trying to say, was, Thank You. So much.
