How to use it
Start here
DuoHand works the way a studio works: you say what the collection has to do, it comes back with directions, you argue, it builds. This is the shape of a run.
Subheading
Start a collection
One body of work, holding the brief, the directions, the models, the sheets and the deck.
Subheading
Give it the brief
Answer its questions. What you leave vague it asks about rather than guessing.
Subheading
Choose, and kill the rest
Say which direction and why, and what is wrong with the others.
Subheading
Let it build
Modelling and layout run on your machine through Bench, and every step that writes or runs asks first.
Subheading
Take the files
They land in your folders, in the formats your workshop already uses.
Getting more out of it
Three habits that pay
Say why, not just no
A reason travels to the next piece. A bare rejection teaches it very little.
Bring your archive
Old collections tell it how you decide faster than any brief can.
Give it a whole chapter
It works better on a job with an end than on one message at a time.
Questions
While you work
Yes, and you can refuse any single step when it asks.
Into your own folders, on your own machine.
Every answer carries its price, and long jobs report as they run.
Open it and start
A brief, or a photograph of something you have already made.
