How to Blog Effectively
One: Try Writing in 3rd Person
Writing a post in third person can help cut the crap and get straight to the point.
Two: Write Objectively
When talking about work and design decisions make sure everything is explained in a objective way. Although design decisions can be justified with personal preference there are many more factors to consider when properly analysing personal work whether they be cultural, contextual, audience based, about communication, primary research or literature.
Three: What's the Difference?
Describing: to give a detailed account in words.
Analysing: examine (something) methodically and in detail, typically in order to explain and interpret it.
Evaluating: form an idea of the amount, number, or value of; assess.
Contextualising: to look at something pertaining to, or depending on the context.
Theorising: to form a theory or theories about something.
Narrating: to tell a story.
Four: Summarise Small Changes
Sometimes during the process a series of small changes/design decisions will occur. Instead of talking about every little decision with a stream of images summarise and evaluate the accumulation of design changes. This will cut the crap and decrease the waffle.
