    Sorry to shamelessly push this back up the board but i'd be keen to get a few more thoughts / comments on this.

    Did a fair bit of reading over the weekend about emerging technologies for creatives, working within multi-discipline teams etc. but actually.....if you don't know how stuff actually goes together then it probably ain't worth shit? What I mean is, as a designer you could be ultra-hot but if you don't understand the process of taking from screen to reality then it'll all fall flat?

    Yes / no...?

    • I disagree. You get great "Ideas People" and as long as there's a team of "know hows" along with them then all is good.microkorg
    • It's a blurry distinction. You need to know enough to work together. Like an architect and an engineer is an ideal example. A building needs both.formed
    • I take part of that back....as long as the idea guy is so great that he can afford a 'work it out' team, you can blur that line further.formed
