Brevity is the soul of wit

I love short and smart instructions.

From D&AD Workout booket:
- Is your illustration sketchy?
- Are your writing skills textbook?
- Are your communication skills all talk?
- Is the left side of your brain always right?
- Is your type justified?

From an old sheet of editing tips:
- Don’t abbrev.
- Don’t use no double negatives.
- Avoid unnecessary redundancy.
- Avoid cliches like the plague.

From 6-word stories:
- For sale: baby shoes, never worn. (Hemingway)
- Longed for him. Got him. Shit. (Margaret Atwood)
