vocab

As designers, we have an unlimited language of how to do things. Our vocabulary includes terms such as pitch, suspend, support, transition, as well as component names like column, gable, reveal, brace, baffle and so on. For all purposes of practicality and manageability we limit our vocabulary to fit the project into a concise, obtainable goal. (well, most of us anyway) It's the really talented designers, I think, that can take the right words from their vocabulary and get the point across in a way that makes the client happy.

Simple, not always easy.
