Every graphic designer I've worked with wants it to be pixel perfect. I've seen them numerous times pull out rulers and literally measure the spacing on their monitor! It takes a special breed to be a graphic designer. In my experience, suggesting that it can be a little off gets me a withering look and the suggestion that maybe we should have another developer look at it. It's never an issue with their OCD.
- adoxyz 6y agoSeems like the graphic designer is the problem then... The modern web and pixel perfect design is a combo that doesn't mix and any good designer would know that.
- AOsborn 6y agoFor some elements of the UI, sure. For others, especially branding related, no, pixel perfect is important. Additionally, this is a good example of the tooling overstepping bounds. Developers giving feedback that their tooling can't match designs made to fit existing brand standards is naive and doesn't reflect business reality. As a counterpoint though, I definitely see merit in Tailwind for new web-first applications where the development team can align with designers from the outset.
