I had the same conversation with a group of students and profs a few weeks ago. Design is not about what you like it's about what's gonna work and what is not. Once you've figured what's gonna work, you start building on it and create something that you'll like. Totally. I had the same conversation with a group of students and profs a few weeks ago.

]]> Comment on Everyone’s a critic by Ryan http://northernarmy.com/2011/01/everyones-a-critic/#comment-94 Ryan Tue, 10 May 2011 15:45:52 +0000 http://northernarmy.com/?p=145#comment-94 So it is really very important that designers live up to their title. Once you are called one, it pays that he knows fully well his work so he can defend it. A designer who is only called as such, but with very minimal experience and very little access to every important perspective to consider will only be just that - order taker. So having the title designer is hard-earned and just like a byline for journalists, his work shows his reputation and credibility.

This is a challenge I face with clients often. I've dealth with both tyrants and committees, and I agree with Hal. One of the things said to me early on in my career that has stuck with me is "Babies are not going to die." It's a great little saying that helps put things into perspective when a client - or even a coworker - starts getting too far into the weeds on niggly details. Awesome.
