    to be a designer requires nothing??
    That's Incredible. Ridiculous. You need an education to know the findamentals on structure, grids, typography, etc... or talent. In this professiona there is not a "SET" way of doing things... as opposed to being in a boring office job where everything is just basically a copy of a copy of a copy and repetition makes you "qualified" to do it. It doesn't happen with design.

    That's absurd. You are probably confusing designers with hacks... you know... the ones that use 10 photoshop filters on plus drop shadows and glows and think they are creative.

    I personally know from HTML to CSS, to some javascript and even some cold fusion... and I work just fine with my coworkers to create good stuff.

    I also see how designers with ZERO knowledge can still put a coherent design with or without programmers around.

    • You labeled a good list of good guidelines as "useless", just because he had a tone..Lillebo
    • Yes because he is generalizing. So Not all sites can have this or that because he set those rules in stone.VectorMasked
