A call to slow down in a fast-moving world.

Slow design

Read it in Sir Jony Ive‘s voice, beautiful

I love the general message and absolutely agree with most (if not all) of it. I’m wondering though what your goal is with this? It reads like a manifesto, but with no real call to action in a way.

Design and creative community — this is a call to slow down in our fast-moving world, to focus, and to be creative.

To clarify: I was totally expecting something at the end that would encourage your readers to share their own experiences of slow design, or to link back to that document on their own sites. :)

thanks for sharing the words that every designer needs to hear.

Resonates pretty heavily for me. Nicely put, and something that don’t get spoken about enough.

This is a good point and very in line with this thinking of course. Thank you for taking the time to explain!

Thanks, Chris! I'm happy it resonates with you. Slowing down is needed for all of us.

First off, I wrote this as a note to myself, so I won't forget these things.

I know others are also be trying to grab everything they can and could risk burning out. So, this message might help them too.

Why is there no further action? Well, I'm trying to take it slow :)
