Filed under: clipping
The early parts of the design process typically aren’t glamorous, however, they can be rather interesting. Clippings—think collage or cutting room floor—are a way of documenting that mess. This idea originated as a twitter thread which was inspired by Meg Lewis.
Meg had this ongoing thread where whenever she would open her camera on her phone and it had the front facing camera activated by default, she would take a selfie and share it not matter how silly the angle was. These clippings are the front facing, “unflattering” selfies of work in progress letters.
