Idea for February 2021: saccade

My idea of the month is saccade.

A great word, meaning the jerky movements our eyes make when we read. Which turns out to matter if you’re creating online content. I learned about all this in a useful and lively book on content design by Sarah Winters, who’s behind the brilliantly designed gov.uk website.

My image of the month is this fantastic viaduct.

The viaduct takes the Northern Line into Mill Hill East, but no-one on the train will ever see what goes on below – bricks, water, graffiti and an endless perspective.
