Sightline

A sharper eye for any design

A sharper eye for any design. Sightline reads the design in front of you the way a trained designer would. Direct, specific, and without the flattery.

Five ways to look closer: • Critique: a five-lens read of hierarchy, typography, spacing, contrast, and intent.
