Designing Words

Eric Karjaluoto wrote a great article over at IdeasOnIdeas.com titled “Designer must write” on the value and power of the written word. This is certainly something that I need to work on more as I do not always do well at conveying my thoughts by words.

Our designers are accountable for their ideas. The applications they use are simply their tools. They know this, and are aware of my disdain for a “fix it with software” perspective. They go home with headaches, because we demand so much. They also are the kind of people who are becoming the kind of designers we all dreamed about being, way back in art school: Those who develop functional design that truly solves the problem at hand.

An excellent read.
