I'm actually a developer and I have to strongly disagree with this comment. The same gap exists (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/HighNotes.html) between good designers and mediocre. In my experience, great designers are far from a commodity. I also agree with the other poster who said "Think Google not Microsoft". That's great advice - with a little practice even a programmer can produce decent designs if they keep things simple and don't try to get fancy.

I'm a designer and have programmed a good deal, however like designs from my programmer, you'd laugh at what I've coded.
- ocskills 18y agoAgreed on all sides. The gap between decent and really good designers is huge and great designers are no more a commodity than great programmers. If the author can find a great designer to work with I'd strongly recommend he does. If not, and he's doing it himself, he needs to keep things simple if he's going to produce passable designs.
