Design Desk 2005

Writing doesn’t come easily for me. I’ve been writing this column since 2002 and still I procrastinate, I whine and I get knots in my stomach.

Thankfully, I have a good editor who puts up with it and helps me craft a few good columns. I’ve selected a few of them below that I hope you’ll find useful.

And, if you’re reading this now, I just want to say thanks for reading and for sending in your feedback and ideas. If you ever feel like writing for Design Desk, I’d be more than happy to kick back for a week and let someone else do the writing.

Sept. 2: One Image, One Word
Delivering simplicity on the front page.

May 26: Is the Web a Tab?
The form is only as good as the journalism.

April 15: The Stealth Editor
Surprise! That’s not the page you designed.

March 15: Debunking Design Myths
You know what they are. They’re in your newsroom.

Feb. 11: Growing Through Growing Pains
Unclogging the ways we’ve always done things.

Jan. 31: Today’s Headline Styles
It’s about tone.

Ideas for future columns?
