I'm fine with all of those roles. I've been able to pick them up along the way and others (report writer use to be a separate role).
The one role I can't master is designer (not frontend developer). It isn't logical and it can't be learned through instructions alone. And the rules change.. what looks great today looked alien yesterday and boring tomorrow.
- spraak 7y agoHave you spent any time trying to learn design? I agree there is some part that is one's own artistic style, but much of design can be viewed and learned systematically - ratios, patterns, color theory, etc
- nicoburns 7y agoIndeed, I'm not really a designer. But I spent about a year reading Smashing Magazine (https://www.smashingmagazine.com/ https://www.smashingmagazine.com/) regularly a few years ago, and I have the basics down now. Turns out it's a lot like good code: keep everything consistent (padding, colours, etc) and clear, and simple and it'll ussually look decent.
