I would argue for somebody to be a good designer they do need to understand both. If they only understand one they are mediocre at best. The best UI experiences depends a lot on aesthetics and elegance. A good aesthetic can do many wonderful things including making your app appear faster and smoother than it actually is.
- netsp 17y agoTake that even further. Just because a web page looks good on black cardboard, does not mean it is a beautiful web page. The piece of paper on the black card is what is beautiful. The former is a representation of the latter. It may lose some important aspects. A picture of a dancer may be beautiful, while the dance is not. Beauty or aesthetics or not easily defined concepts. But I don't think you can have a beautiful web page that doesn't perform its role. The two are not just intertwined, one is a part of the other.
