Inspiration

This was the slogan I taped above my desk during the **first week** at Kayak, after a week of shipping fast and breaking small things. Slow stuff isn't precious stuff — it's the work that benefits from a second draft, the email you sit on for an hour, the design you sleep on. I printed twenty-five of these to give to the people who taught me that.

Notes on making

Three passes through the Vandercook 219. Mint first, then black, then the red outline. The kerning on SLOW is wrong on purpose; tight types look stricter than they need to.
