I enjoyed the article, but I was sort-of hoping that this was an article giving practical design advice to non-designers, because that' what I gandered from the title and that's the position I'm in right now. I'm handling the (re)(re)design of our site[1]. This is a bit tough because my main job is JS library developer. There are no designers at my very small company, and my own time is constrained as one might imagine. So instead of a real design, I try to re-look at it and pass it around for advice and update it shortly after version releases. Since I can't give it my full attention, I'd really love to read an article on what do do when you're the only designer they've got, and you're not a designer by trade. (On the plus side, its nice switching contexts to something more artistically focused from time to time.) [1] The library has been out for a year and I think just now my designs are finally starting to look "not completely shameful". Old: http://gojs.net/latest/ http://gojs.net/latest/ New: http://gojs.net/beta/ http://gojs.net/beta/ At least I can take #3 to heart. Good for now, and it will get better. (and maybe I will, too)
