Notes de l'éditeur
- I have been following Glenn Hughes’s professional life for a long, long time. I have come to the conclusion that Glenn is not a writer. He is not an artist. He is not a trainer, gamer, or curator. The label I would use to describe Glenn’s professional skill set is “designer”. Glenn does not merely write. He designs messages. He designs job aids that help people master principles and procedures. Glenn does not merely create games. He does not merely train others. He designs experiences that engage his participants and players. Glenn does not merely do graphics. He artfully arranges word and white space and colors in his cards and his books. Everything he designs is attractive and functional. It’s tempting to think that Glenn’s fluency in design thinking and design doing is because he appears to suffer from (or benefit from) dissociative identity disorder which is commonly known as multiple personality syndrome. But that’s not the truth. You see, Glenn is an engineer and an artist, a leader and a follower, a teacher and a learner, an analyst and a synthesizer. I can deconstruct the activities and the artifacts of this Graphic Guide to Writing Smart as Hell Goals to reinforce my point. But, alas, nobody reads lengthy forewords. So enough of this foreword. Let’s go forward to the tools and the practices.
