Sometimes a theme emerges from the stories I encountered during the week. The thread that emerged this week is writing. Whether it\u2019s Julie Zhuo\u2019s idea of writing a user guide to herself, Ted Goas\u2019 suggestion of beginning each project with a shared Google Doc, or Ehsan Noursalehi\u2019s own reflection on human-computer interaction by writing a micro-book. As designers, our job is to synthesize an idea and communicate it to an audience. That communication takes many forms: logos, websites, packaging, products, and even services. Writing is a way to work through a problem and idea. I hope you enjoy this issue, and these reads.<\/p>\n<p>Roger<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>                  <!-- END MODULE: Content 9 --><br \/>\n                  <!-- BEGIN MODULE: Content 9 --><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"8\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\" width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" style=\"padding: 16px 24px 24px; background-color: #ffffff; border-radius: 8px\" pc-default-class=\"pc-sm-p-25-30-35 pc-xs-p-15-20-25\" pc-default-padding=\"30px 40px 40px\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n                            <\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"12\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/lg.substack.com\/p\/the-looking-glass-a-user-guide-to?ref=designspun\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/designspun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/issues\/013\/userguide-DLr.jpeg\" width=\"552\" height=\"\" alt=\"Pages from a camera user manual\" style=\"border: 0; line-height: 100%; outline: 0; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; display: block; height: auto; color: #151515; border-radius: 6px; max-width: 100%;\"><\/a>\n                                <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"24\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pc-fb-font\" valign=\"top\" style=\"line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Work Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 500; color: #8338ec\">lg.substack.com<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"8\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pc-fb-font\" valign=\"top\">\n                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/lg.substack.com\/p\/the-looking-glass-a-user-guide-to?ref=designspun\" style=\"text-decoration: none; line-height: 34px; font-family: 'Work Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: -0.4px; color: #151515\">A User Guide To Working With You<\/a>\n                                <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"0\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pc-fb-font\" style=\"line-height: 28px; font-family: 'Work Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: -0.2px; color: #707070\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>This is a brilliant idea from author and product designer Julia Zhuo\u2014to write a user guide for others about you.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I started writing a \u201cHow to work with Julie\u201d guide for my team about three or four years ago, and heard the phrase User Guide some time later.

When you buy a new camera, it comes with a little booklet that teaches you about the specifics of the gadget\u2014what each button means, how to select the appropriate lighting, how to review the images.<\/p>\n<p>A User Guide for a Person works in a similar way.

Designer Ted Goas has a unique spin on writing as part of the design process:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Using a Google Doc lowers the barrier to entry and allows everyone to brainstorm on the same level. Hearing everyone\u2019s voice at the beginning prevents work from becoming silo\u2019d, invites different perspectives, and ultimately produces a better product. It also increases enthusiasm when folks feel like they\u2019re part of the process.<\/p>\n<p>Starting in a Google Doc also allows us to socialize the work at an early stage and bring people into the process asynchronously. It\u2019s particularly well-suited for distributed teams and working across timezones.<\/p>\n<p>Designing as a team early prevents designing by committee later.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Heidi Adkisson pens \u201c<a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/uxdesign.cc\/documenting-is-designing-how-documentation-drives-better-design-outcomes-3ebd87a33d57?ref=designspun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Documenting is designing: How documentation drives better design outcomes<\/a>.\u201d This piece is mainly about product design and how the decisions we make as we annotate our designs is designing.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>                  <!-- END MODULE: Content 9 --><br \/>\n                  <!-- BEGIN MODULE: Content 9 --><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"8\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"\" width=\"100%\" valign=\"top\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\" style=\"padding: 16px 24px 24px; background-color: #ffffff; border-radius: 8px\" pc-default-class=\"pc-sm-p-25-30-35 pc-xs-p-15-20-25\" pc-default-padding=\"30px 40px 40px\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"100%\" role=\"presentation\">\n<tbody>\n                            <\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"12\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">\n                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/uxdesign.cc\/the-onion-for-design-systems-atomic-design-and-pace-layering-4cc59a3c486?ref=designspun\" style=\"text-decoration: none;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/designspun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/issues\/013\/onion-BrI.jpg\" width=\"552\" height=\"\" alt=\"Diagram of layers of a product design onion\" style=\"border: 0; line-height: 100%; outline: 0; -ms-interpolation-mode: bicubic; display: block; height: auto; color: #151515; border-radius: 6px; max-width: 100%;\"><\/a>\n                                <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"24\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pc-fb-font\" valign=\"top\" style=\"line-height: 20px; font-family: 'Work Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 500; color: #8338ec\">uxdesign.cc<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"8\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px;\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pc-fb-font\" valign=\"top\">\n                                  <a href=\"https:\/\/uxdesign.cc\/the-onion-for-design-systems-atomic-design-and-pace-layering-4cc59a3c486?ref=designspun\" style=\"text-decoration: none; line-height: 34px; font-family: 'Work Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: -0.4px; color: #151515\">The onion for Design Systems: atomic design and pace layering<\/a>\n                                <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"0\" style=\"font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"pc-fb-font\" style=\"line-height: 28px; font-family: 'Work Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: -0.2px; color: #707070\" valign=\"top\">\n<p>Designer Leslie Mu has an idea for evolving <a style=\"color: #333333;\" href=\"https:\/\/atomicdesign.bradfrost.com\/?ref=designspun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brad Frost\u2019s Atomic Design<\/a> idea in the age of enterprise design systems.
