    Its nice to see designers talking about this, I generally find it as an afterthought on projects from. The amount of briefs I receive that say 'we've recently launched a website but we need someone to come in and make it responsive'. Dude, mobile first.

    With that said I completely get (having starting my career in design) how a designers workflow needs to change to accomodate this: the thought process to consider layout on multiple devices, interactions, working with layout in a non-responsive format(photoshop, illustrator) etc...

    Someone said earlier something about how it changes classic web design, but I think that classic web design was a bad habit (one of which I admit to having), responsive design is something that has been toyed with for a long time (e.g the holy grail layout), it's only the rise of mobile devices that has made it apparent that the mantra 'all(most) websites should be 960px wide'.

    On a side note, as you lot [read designers, crayon jockeys] seem to be a bunch of stubborn pixel perfect mules (which I love btw), its normally been a FE dev's position to push this sort of thing. Responsive Design, totally good.
