Something that gets my goat is designers that may go for design over overall experience, I have had more that one designer say changes would compromise their design 'vision' for the site.. oh please!
We are not rock stars, we are there for our customers and users at the end of the day.. being strongly interested in teachings and concepts in Buddhism,we should approach our work from an ego less perspective.. thats not to say you shouldn't have vision just dont be so precious about it..
Well that’s fine if you are happy for site visitors to squint, get eye fatigue and have a lesser experience for the sake of upholding your fun, design vision and at the expense of reader comfort go for it..
to me that is the height of arrogance .. you can design and have a vision and take these things into account. The needs of one designer to have their ‘way’ overriding the needs of the many always saddens me. What I do is not for me its for others ..not that i am a saint but i'll go into bat at the right time for the user..
Designers be good and proud of what you do, I love what you do, I couldnt do it, but do think outside of your desktop in your office for the poor schmo who has to try to use the site after your are on the next project...
