Four parts, every working day. What changes is what the picture is.
Find today’s kind of day below and hold your post up against it before you hit enter.
The work as it stands right now. Ugly is fine. No picture scores as missing.
What actually got done since the last post. Specific.
Name the blocker out loud.
From me, from a classmate, from your client. Early.
The DUE line on the syllabus says exactly what today’s post needs. Read it first.
Exported to the spec, handed to the client. It’s graded on delivery.
If there’s work after the quiz, post that work. Never the quiz.
4/4: “Twelve thumbnails. Circled two: bold geometric, and one color with lots of type. Stuck choosing between them.”
4/4: “Headline set, grid locked. The photo fights the type. Trying a duotone next.”
2/4: “A screenshot of the whole Illustrator window with the art the size of a stamp.”
Say: the one note you’re acting on and the one you’re not, and why.
Say: the one thing you want the room to look at.
Hand-off week: your hand-off happens here, same sixty seconds.
Name the problem. Explain the choice. Show what you tried and rejected.
5/4: “The headline and the photo fought. Shrinking the type made it vanish. Tried a duotone on the photo and the type finally reads first. Kept it.”
Dojo-kun reads every post against the day’s DUE line. Full rubric: CRED.
