Musk, He's Poor

That title, it's an anagram. Of skeuomorphs. [As I learnt from behind this paywalled piece.] I read on in part, as a decade back I blogged on the concept of skeuomorphism. With particular reference to built-in internal new product launch familiarity. New to me was the etymology. From 1889 by

Cinematic Universe Hieroglyphics

Big Ticket Presentation Design Agency Quote Cards

I've long blogged on Duarte's output. Accompanying an Oct '21 book launch, their media kit included the selection above. Ten tweetable 'quote cards'. My main thrust is to highlight their design. Yet before that, I can't help but note their content. I accept that I am among the 'converted'. Yet
