LONDON BOYS KILLED BY TRAIN - PICTURES

Does the word “PICTURES” sell more copies of the paper?

Whatever the circumstances (I haven’t read the story yet), this sounds like a terrible tragedy.

I often see Evening Standard hoardings with the word “PICTURES” after a dash after the headline.

In this case I felt its use was particularly insensitive.

The duck’s feet

Simplicity is in the air…

The following quote via Euan Semple’s The Obvious?

Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity

- Charles Mingus

And this from Mark Hurst’s Good Experience blog following eTech

Sometimes - here’s the real heresy - sometimes the best option for users might be less technology. It’s less cool, and makes for decidedly less exciting press, but it could very well be the more useful option.

Less is more, more or less.

Simple parts that will never get too powerful
