Are you a Designer, or a Developer?
Some of us in various web industries perform many tasks, while others are more specialized. Often there seems to be friction between web designers and web developers. For many, I believe this comes from a lack of understanding.
To relieve some of this friction, I suggest that web developers take a look at Dan Saffer’s recent article, Everything You Wanted to Know About Designers, on the Vitamin web site.
Using a bit of well-placed humor, and definite real-world knowledge of the production of web sites, Dan helps to explain a bit about why designers do what they do, and why developers might do well to respond a little differently at times. It is a tough business, and the level of co-operation between team members can make or break a project.
