Why you should move that button 3px to the left
- yughyu 13y agoWhy do you think you're at the mercy of the programmers? Why can't you learn to build and deploy the code yourself? Seems like a bit of a bottleneck to put all your changes through a programmer.
- pedalpete 13y agoEveryone has their skills. Not all designers are coders, even knowing how to efficiently create HTML and css isn't something that everybody needs to be great at. I agree it is helpful that designers know the basics of html and css, but that isn't their job. It's like asking a developer why they aren't also a designer. Why not just learn how to design. Having said that I've met a few designers who are AMAZING programmers as well (or vice-versa) but it is a very rare and valuable combination. I'm learning some design now through designlab (just started), but I likely won't become an amazing designer, I just want to get better and possibly improve my abilities to see what the designers see and I'm missing, and hopefully improve my ability to work and communicate with designers.
- pedalpete 13y agoIs this quote really about design?? " have certainly been in a bad mood, gotten confused by a product, and found myself repeatedly smashing a button to no effect. In my frustration, I try the same thing, just harder. But it doesn’t help me accomplish my goal." This sounds more like something that is broken. I wish there was a better example provided of bad design affecting the users mood.
