The problem is that "design perspective" implies that you indeed mean that you are good at "drawing something pretty" or following trends. Otherwise, everything that involves building things to solve problems is design. In fact, I never understood what the clear distinction between design and engineering is. What is a "non-design perspective"? Trying to do something that doesn't work?
Yes, I know there's a theory of design -- I believe there are several, actually -- but I honestly don't care if you are unable to explain where this theory comes from, how it's validated and so on. And I apply the same criteria to engineering and science, by the way. Otherwise its just arguing from authority.
- mostlystatic 13y agoI suppose a non-design perspective would focus on implementing features rather than how the user can benefit from them most easily. Two sites may allow you to do the same thing, but one of them may be superior from a design perspective. A site that is stable, maintainable and easy to implement would be superior from an engineering perspective. The design perspective depends on engineering aspects, since the user experience would be bad if the site is broken.
