In the act of creation, the precision of the divine reveals itself.

The principles of Illuminated Crafting are not limited to what the eye perceives but extend to the unseen intricacies that lie beneath.

To truly engage with your craft is to transform the ordinary into the celestial, investing every act with profound attention.

Design is the heartbeat of every creation, the breath that gives life to functionality.

From the message in an email to the design of a web page or the content of a post, the spirit of invention weaves its essence throughout.

The General understands the power of design, crafting messages and interactions that propel our audience towards their goals.

Action Steps

Here is this lesson distilled into actionable steps you can implement today:

  1. Get into the nitty-gritty. No overlooking, no evading.
  2. Grasp that design isn't just about aesthetics. It's the lifeblood.
  3. Infuse detail, but know when to cut. Streamline. Optimize.

Detail

Dive deep into every component. Do not skip; do not evade

Design

Understand that design is the spirit of functionality, the essence of crafting

Occam’s Razor

After infusing every detail, after illuminating every stroke, strip it down.

“If it doesn’t serve a purpose, if it doesn’t elevate the craft, remove it immediately.”
