Hello! I might be that guy! YMMV but try mentioning it low-key style to him. They're most likely oblivious to it and chancing their arm / pushing their luck with it. They'll probably be embarrassed more than anything if you b

I'd take a look at the Gaurdian's (Newspaper) web team's presentation on this: Deck: https://speakerdeck.com/patrickhamann/breaking-news-at-1000m... Video: https://vimeo.com/100505617

If you choose a Opentype typeface with Tabular figures as an option, you could have a high quality typeface that prints out the numbers that are fixed width, but might be significantly more aesthetically considered than standard monospaced

Your line of questioning is great. And it's something that drives me up the wall that designers don't engage with these questions better. Here's someone from DesignerNews on your comments: "Here's what the left-brai

Odd comment. Clients in my work consistently pay us to do 'What we think is best' because that's what they're paying us for. Sometimes we do production work, but more often than not we're directing and advising the

Where's part uno? Look it, people can talk and read all the shite they want but unless they actually do and show results – they're a load of hot air. I do recognise a vibe from your post that I've encountered. Freelancers w

No problem. If you are serious about going down the road of a designer, you will have to get comfortable with telling clients what I told you above and moving them away from subpar ideas. Most of the time, when things are pointed out in the

Few points of feedback on the interpreter site. Bear in mind I am not the target audience but I am a designer, and this site is unfinished. * The image for Éva looks like something they'd take at border control for a refugee. Not a fit

Funny. Being from a very rural area my solution would of been to walk outside and hoof the bloody thing as far as I could into the surrounding fields and have a cup of tae while waiting for the boom.

Good typography and layouts are informed by the ideas and story an author is trying to convey. If we are to say we want an author to care about the communication of their work, they should take an active interest in how that work is present

Bit late but worth the read: http://www.wired.com/2015/02/on-the-joy-of-mastery/ Agree with you on accessibility and responsiveness. Think visual design for the most part should stay the same.

Oh now this is cool. I tried to do something similar for designers a while back[0] but this is a much nicer system! Would love if you added a designer version! [0] http://codepen.io/jamesdelaneyie/pen/uIdie

Can't say I completely agree that sticking to it's current design is ridiculous. The risk of backlash from the community upon changing anything is high for one. Personally, I prefer communities where their 'brand' is imb

I guess this is handy for very early layout concepts. Any designer worth their salt that isn't in a vice via client et al would drop it after the concepting stage.

A great deal of UX knowledge and practises come from HCI studies, it has almost always been in the realm of IT. It's borders with service design is when it starts to pick up some concerns with identity, marketing, and a few others. Des

Design studios are not coming to an end anytime soon, no matter how well domain knowledge is packaged up and sold off as competency. We've given people better tools and guidelines to improve their day to day presentational communicatio

More than fair point. Craft beers usually do have a higher alcohol percentage though, so they would actually get you drunk 'better'. Taste would be subjective however. Personally I'd be 50/50 on getting drunk, having a n
