About this Episode
We recorded this episode just after the UK General Election in December 2019, so our moods were a little sombre. Answering your lovely questions helped us forget all that though! We knew we wouldn't get it edited before Christmas, so this is "The New Year" episode.
- Font of the week is Infini
- UX Technique of the week is the KJ Technique for establishing priorities
In the questions we talk about:
- Hobbies for relaxation
- Dream clients to work for
- Jobs that never came to fruition, and the time Jon nearly made a website for an upmarket sex shop
- Favourite, and least favourite, design trends
- What job we wanted to have when we were growing up
- When is the right time to allow your kids to have a phone, and strategies for managing the potential hell it unleashes
