Posted to Ask DN: What books to read in 2016?, in reply to Benjamin Dauton , Jan 22, 2016 The Art of Looking Sideways is a persona favourite - readable anytime, from any part f that fat volume :-)
Posted to Ask DN: What books to read in 2016?, in reply to Kathryn Grayson , Jan 22, 2016 Peter Mathiessen's The Snow Leopard is a person account of a journey in Tibet... eminently readable // Life of Pi, if you haven't read or watched the film already... I still feel the book is better // Orhan Pauk - My Name is Red //
Posted to How to write case studies for your design work?, Jan 17, 2016 Here are a few thoughts -
Showcasing your work
Definitely a 'hero image' plus a few supporting ones (possibly details/work-in-progress/sketches?). The idea here is to leave some room for viewers to dig deeper/ask more questions as opposed to showing them all...
Writing part
[1] a one line "tweetable" summary would be great [2] a short para on the brief/problem/opportunity [3] what you did/how you approached it/anything different or new? [4] and finally the impact - numbers would be great (# of downloads/sales/engagement metrics et al) [5] put in any quotes, user comments - thats the "hero" text!
All the best!

All the best Helen, going forward keep a tab on the "impact" part, super helpful :-)
