...i was just wondering how your design process gets you to where you are in the end finished product.

(Sep 4 06, 07:10)I'm in a unique position whereby I design, develop and produce the whole thing. This is generally for 95% of the projects I do. The other 5 percent, are usually designed by other designers (web and print) and handed to me to develop. These are the ones that are usually more difficult to produce, and tend to be hindered by a lack of understanding of the development languages that will form it, and how these can be of benefit to usability (think AJAX).
I would say, that I create a vision in my mind of "function", and then apply some visual aesthetic to it. Ultimately I think function and usability are more important than style and come first - however, cool shit is cool shit, and it's got to look good. If you can design with usability on the mind from the outset (a skill which I think even the biggest agencies out there lack) then you are on to a winner.
There. That's probably the most I've ever said on design on this forum.
