🪴Some note taking from last week. I love finding new, efficient ways to take notes. Even though I will be graduating in spring, I am still learning how to learn, which I think is a beautiful thing. If I do go on to my Masters degree as I plan, I think this will be useful.

Here’s my redesign of Stephen Hawking’s 1988 masterwork, A Brief History of Time.
For having sold more than 10 million copies, this is a surprisingly dense book of science. Yes, the descriptions of black holes and particle physics are dumbed down from the dizzying impermeability of grad school classrooms so that we mortals can understand them, but they’re still dense as hell and make for difficult subway reading. I can honestly say I probably didn’t absorb over 60% of this book.
I wanted the cover of this book to be friendly and approachable, yet reminiscent of a science textbook. The prose is written in clear, informative, simply constructed sentences, and I wanted the design to reflect that in its geometry and clarity. The original cover of the book features an iconic portrait of Hawking, and his personality (and story) is a large part of why readers still pick up this book — preserving that in this edition was important to me.
If you, like me, haven’t taken a science class in a few years; I recommend picking this book up and bending your brain a little.
