I can't speak for all designers, but when I design webpages, I do start with words. Typography and content serve as most the fundamental concerns when working toward a usable, visually stunning design. If the thesis of this editorial

by devilshaircut 13y ago
I agree with this. 80% I think is a bit of an overestimate. Especially since the design discipline is so multi-pronged. I agree with the earlier poster also that talent can also play a role. However that is somewhat rare and even in that ca

As noted in a different reply to you, here is something indicative of something I worked on recently: http://imgur.com/GPYmt3T If you'd like to see my portfolio, please PM me your email and I will reply to you privatel

Since I was asked for my credentials, I believe this should suffice: http://imgur.com/GPYmt3T Just for the record, I work for startups, not large companies; it just happened that the startup I was at doing design work for w

I think you made the point beautifully when you said "can get the basics down in a few weeks to a month". The key word here is "basics". A professional level of skill goes beyond basics. As a web designer, one can get th

I definitely respect you and your self-starting attitude. It's definitely true that school is expensive and impractical for some people's life's situation. The only thing I take issue with is that the experience can be compen

I didn't mean this as an ad hominem and I am delighted that she is open to criticism. My comment is strictly about the level of design represented here, which I believe is not professional quality.

I hope this doesn't sound pedantic but we aren't talking about a basic competency lesson here; the article seems to purport that one can become a professional this way. I hope this doesn't sound snarky - it isn't intende

Yes. Those studies are one-sided. It is as I indicated in another post a point of contention among the professional cycling community whether or not helmets do more harm than good (both in accidents and sociologically). Here is a study that

I am not going to go digging for this information for you but essentially the way bike helmets are tested is a weight is dropped onto the helmet traveling at a certain velocity and the result is recorded. It is not representative of the rea

I hope this doesn't sound "unnecessarily rude" as an earlier poster characterized negative feedback, but I also found the design for Exec to be incredibly pedestrian. To be honest about my position, I do have a degree in desi

Of course it is a non-starter. I agree, and I would never wear a motorcycle helmet on my bike. I don't even wear a helmet. My point is simply that the degree of protection a bicycle helmet offers is oversold.

There is nothing preventing a cyclist from wearing motorcycle gear on a bike. I would never do it though because it isn't practical. But this is precisely the point I am getting at and in fact I do not wear a helmet at all. As for sayi

I don't know if you ride bikes or not. Regardless of this, you should know that bike helmets are safety rated for low-speed crashes only . An example of this collision is a stationary object - e.g. the ground - impacting a moving obje

If you want protection from injury on your bicycle, you are better off with a motorcycle helmet than a bicycle helmet, end of story. As has been stated by previous posters, bike helmets are largely ineffective. Bike helmets solve the cyclis

So the story is not good enough because it doesn't involve prison and violence? So she should just keep her story to herself because it isn't as action-packed? I can't say how much I disagree with this. People should share their stories, ev

I don't understand either of the prior two comments. The article clearly wasn't written to garner sympathy, rather, to retell a personal experience that is likely foreign to most people, given the cloistered nature of North Korean society.

"they never evolved to possess the same enzyme" ... what? Asians are the same species as every other race. The idea that Asians somehow did not evolve this particular thing has nothing to do with the genetic change over time that causes spe

This is the exact question that I was prepared to ask; eager to hear a response.

I hope you are referring to the men and not Ms. Richards. Because her "little mistake" resulted in the firing of a decent human being with a wife and 3 kids.

True, I do agree with you that the order of events seemed a bit tactless.

I think you are overlooking the fact (clearly elucidated by SendGrid) that her position as Developer Evangelist makes her the face of their company at conferences. Reaching out to her hundreds of Twitter followers to bring public shame to d

I applaud SendGrid's response to this debacle. It is carefully weighed and expresses the precise reason why action absolutely needed to be taken. It is worthy of praise that they are willing to step into a very controversial issue and do wh

I didn't mean to indicate that I had a problem with her reporting conduct that is in violation of an event's attendance agreement. What I intended to express is precisely the other part of what you said - that the joke was not sexual, but a

I agree with you that it is at worst an anatomical joke that is not funny and hasn't the slightest sexual undertone to it.

I absolutely agree with you that this is potentially the greatest travesty and that the whole thing is a debacle. I reposted this story on my Facebook and literally the only people who commented on it were my female friends/colleagues in

by devilshaircut 14y ago
I in fact agree with you and think you are 100% right but I think you are parsing the situation incorrectly. In fact it seems to be Ms. Richards who will cause women to be reluctant to report real sexual harassment. Let me draw from a past

It should be clear from the reaction here on HN that your comments were widely regarded as heteronormative at best. I think in fact that people understood you were trying to "invoke a feeling of sexual threat" and that you did this by makin

I understand why you, as a woman, would hate the phrase "women in tech". It definitely has a subtext that indicates being a woman in tech is somehow a unique situation - when in reality it should be the standard. Many of my female peers als
