Well, you said that you can't just 'drop the project' but that's not true. No one is forcing you to work on it but yourself.

If meth was available like cigarettes or beer, there would be significantly less private production of the drug ;-)

"Combating drugs is not just about a perfect moral vision of society. Getting rid of meth, for example, would be a big aid to society. (As best I understand it)." I don't mean to undermine your knowledge but that would be impossible, useles

I thought about a legible signature. My reasoning was that it was too specific. When you're drawing an icon of a coffee-cup, you're drawing abstract shapes that will hit as many people with a 'coffeecup' concept. Compare this to a life draw

I really think they should define 'work'. Creative work is much different than, say, assembly of radios. A lot happens when you're away from the computer.

This effect can be realized on every JavaScript-supporting browser, or in fact any animated-.gif-supporting browser. I think it was a proof-of-concept work.

Maybe I should change fields. There's so many people in UX design now that it is no longer cool. But I like it. Damn you, cognitive dissonance.

I think cigarettes improve my quality of life enough to justify their cost. For some people satellite TVs improves their quality of life. I'm not some spoiled rich kid either; I grew up on potato soup and old cloth in poverty.

Good point. What if I emphasize the "signature line" concept and insert a line to emphasize the "these two are separate" concept? As in: http://olekbeluga.com/targetgiftbox2.png

Using color temperature to distinguish between primary and secondary elements -- brilliant. http://uxmovement.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/checkout+or... I have a little problem with the star at the end of "your price" as it creates dis

Good choice on positioning the shell to the right-top -- it indicates growth and positivity. Not sure if flatness was intended but: http://imgur.com/fAaMl I recommend clarifying deep propositions: "Solid as a shell?" "RGB streams floatin

I like the visual rhythm of days. But just letting you know, background is way too busy :) Text is hardly readable in some parts. I have no idea what's going on and I'm a power-user who designed and used different types of UIs from MS-DOS s

Hardness really depends on whether you like something or not, and your previous experience. It's subjective. For a college xc runner, running 5 miles in 35 minutes is "taking it easy", for an average american it's an impossible task, I thin

I think the fundamental problem is that designers use right brains to come up with solution: the brain that's involved in processing of emotions, shapes, "a-ha" moments, and seeing the whole picture. Programming, on the other hand, seems to

Illustrator is awesome. Also, pencil and a piece of paper. Sometimes I create physical models of complex UI objects if I need to grasp their animations/behavior. Some designers I knew liked Balsamiq, or Blend, but everyone knows how to draw

However, being ok and having skills to deal with unemployment gives you an important skill: Being able to openly say "Fuck you" to your employer or a client. The part about desperation is not exactly right. I think those who are employed, u

Well, duh. Design is not art. Art is about beauty primarily. Design is about leading user where he wants to, be it content, product, or a graphic. Design is communication. What this means to business-people/developers: you can have all the

Oh, I think I have a winner: "I would be better off if you killed yourself" I wish I was making this up but one my friends told me that shortly after I was diagnosed with severe depression. We are no longer friends.

I agree. Having ego is so outdated. Ego is like believing that blacks are an inferior race, or earth is flat, or earth is 6000 years old. In other words, "apple is being eaten by you just as much as you are eating the apple". It's not so mu

"Not only does this result in a zero-remainder." Not necessarily. You're forgetting that each pixel is made out of three little colors, so with certain color arrangements one can probably get remainder even on a 1x1 pixel rhythmic grid.

Rounded corners are friendly. It's almost as if they say "come play with us, we won't bite or cut you". Sharp corners on the other hand are more like "I'll cut you if you come near me." Perhaps this means that one can constrain user by plac
