Compositional balance in graphic design has always visually calmed my mind as the baoding tactile movements. Well written!

"Aichaku"..what a lovely term. Thanks for this. Also will look up the John Maeda book. I just wrote a post in my newsletter about materiality and post-digital. Please check it out. I called it "Analog 2.0". Glad to know others are thinking similarly.

Thanks Sharif! I really enjoyed your piece. I'm a former architect now working in digital product design so I'm very interested in how the analogue and digital can work alongside each other 🤝
