I work at an ad agency designers design up a visual its looked over by a developer before it goes to the client to make sure they don't design something that can't be built. > do you also find that there's a lot of tension between developers and designers? Nope the designers can use what ever they want I take photoshop, illustrator, indesign, xd, figma what ever and build it thats my job. Designers make the decision on what tools they use for their job I decide what tools I use for my job. Let's face it once you learn one design tool the rest are fairly similar. Any pain points I have seen have been from a lack of communication, designers don't know what developers know and they need you to tell them. This is a two way street I see developers turn their nose up at designs or give criticism on the design like the choice of colours when they should feedback on the build ability of the design. Respect your designers they have a very impressive skill one most people lack and under appreciate. They are not like clients they understand their skill and industry as well as a developer does, treat them with the respect that skill and understanding deserves (don't talk down to them). Once built designers can come across as critical of developers they designed a masterpiece and they want it pixel perfect. They often feedback that it needs more spacing or on small alignment issues. I could hand wave this as unimportant it won't look any better if I do what they say but I don't I take their skill and feedback seriously I fix the issue and it always looks better and they appreciate my attention to detail, the client is over the moon. Work with your designers and they will make you look great thats their skill use it.
