Thinking, creating work within applications decides the form of the material finally produced. Tools of thought are restrictive. Domains for which knowledge is produced, have ends it is required to meet. A presentation on roam is different from a presentation on PowerPoint to a presentation on InDesign even though it is just slides and text. Anti-fragile writing that roam introduced already existed in a drawing-making process. Working offline and online itself definitely impacts the ways work is produced. Like writing, abstract drawings can get stuck. It when things get stuck, there is a dependency on application idiosyncrasies to help overcome the blocks. Sometimes like in roam there are quick rewards that take the form of writing in bullets. Every jump to the next line is indicative of progress and therefore feels rewarding to use. Illustrator on the other hand doesn't have that system in place. So like now I am a bit stuck with the image in question. Adobe applications were previously used to change the user interface in their previous releases. After CS Cloud they only change the splash screen and help interface. Doing 6 drawings in one go takes more thinking than just one post. Rectangle, ellipse, star, polygon, and freehand are the shapes available to construct an image. These are then deformed or combined to assemble other shapes. It can mean something or just a composition. Writing in roam and drawing in illustrator are two spaces of producing work. Previously, or the standard working procedure is to think drawing and writing separately. Even while teaching design there is no writing that comes in the drawing process. How do you fix all of that is what the visual zettelkasten aims to solve. It is zettelkasten3. 1 was by Luhmann. 2 by all the modern bidirectional note-taking apps. 3 is what I am going by. The visual zettelkasten is zettelkasten3.
