Context & History: Serial Consign is an online writing project dedicated to cataloguing provocative examples of information design. My interest in information visualization and representation is not limited to aesthetics as I hope to document how organizational strategies affect the way we think, communicate and experience space. This site was launched in 2004 and rebuilt as a blog in the fall of 2006. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how blogging fits into my creative practice - this project is very much a work in progress.

I get a moderate amount of email regarding this blog so I've set up a FAQ to deal with general questions. If you have a more specific enquiry, please drop me a line.

Design: This site is built in Drupal, an open source content management system. The design is based on the A3 Atlantis theme by Blamcast and makes use of numerous modules for a wide range of semantic tagging, SEO and interface customization. The sidebar on the immediate right contains links to several key modules that have been used to organize content on this site - many thanks to their respective developers.

If you like the design of this site please note Mission Specialist, my web and graphic design studio.

Salutations: My girlfriend Jordan Hale keeps the copy on this blog sharp and she also served as my primary foil in redesigning this site. Crispin Bailey at Substance Communications has been an ongoing positive influence regarding usability, accessibility and mobile viewing. A tip of the cap to Michael Surtees and Ceci Moss who have each been particularly supportive of this blog.
