Standard articles are also over 1,000 words. But unlike longform articles, they lean more towards one or two thousand than several.
A standard article includes:

Like long-form articles, they also contain original research presented in a literary style. While they use a formal tone there is less emphasis on narrative journalism or creative non-fiction techniques.

- The results of a research project or survey.
- A theoretical meditation.
- Exploration of a process from your studio with examples of your work.
Standard articles provide an in-depth focus on a particular topic or theme.
