Hang on, but isn't designing on a Mac the wrong way around? You get something that looks beautiful on a Mac, but dreadful elsewhere? Surely you design for, or at least prioritise, for the largest audience share? i.e IE or FF?
- bluekeybox 15y agoNo, I'm not saying testing on computers other than Macs is wrong -- to the opposite, I think it must always be done (except maybe specifically in cases like this when you are looking for an audience of those who want to do design). Design isn't about looking "beautiful". Design is (1) usability, (2) propaganda that relies on your audience's associative brain (peripheral cognition) to position the product into the realm of "desirable". Right now, in the minds of most people who matter, Apple designs are more desirable than air. So if the designer you're hiring hasn't figured that part out yet, his/her value to your company will be negative.
