Do you guys think it will eventually be necessary for a working designer to know how to code as well as design? I have only ever heard of a very few strong designers who can also code well. It's like being a successful architect, you've gotta be both creative (right brain) and mathematically/scientifically astute (left brain).
Frankly, there's nothing in me that wants to write code. Would bore me to tears, and I would probably suck at it. I'd much rather design a site and hire someone else to develop it. Actually I'd rather spend all my time designing logos and books, but websites ain't so bad.
- It seems being a good typographer and a good programmer are skills that are almost always mutually exclusive.Scotch_Roman

- I say almost always because there are people out there like skt who can do both. But even he would prolly say he's better at Flash/dev work.Scotch_Roman

- If you genuinely have an interest in coding, don't bother. You have to want to learn, otherwise you'll have an awful time learning it and probably won't be very good at it.bort
- If you don't I meant.bort
- I don't feel design and development skills are mutually exclusive.blaw
- I'm not saying they necessarily are, but it's rare for people to excel at both.Scotch_Roman
- If you don't like it, hire someone. Actually hire someone anyway:)ukit
