Design isn’t about tools : Journal : Mark Boulton
by sbrothier
I’ve always liked to abstract my design process from the tools I use. Photoshop, Fireworks, HTML/CSS, Pen and paper, HTML Wireframes using Blueprint, Omnigraffle—It doesn’t really matter. You use what’s best for your workflow at the time. These are all tools in the same way that a pencil is a tool. They are implements to realise a solution to a problem. You say tomato and I say toe-may-toe.
Stopdesign | Choosing the right tool
by sbrothier
However… I consider myself fairly competent in HTML & CSS. But even I am limited in design by starting with code before having a few design ideas fleshed out.
I have advocated in the past that HTML and even CSS are not design tools. They are tools used to implement design. There’s a big difference.

“Ne dites pas iPod, mais je t’aime“, titrait récemment le Globe & Mail : selon deux études, publiées dans le numéro de décembre du Journal of Consumer Research, le matérialisme des adolescents serait moins du à la pression sociale et au marketing qu’à leur mauvaise estime de soi.

A Brief Message
by sbrothier
& 3 others
A Brief Message features design opinions expressed in short form. Somewhere between critiques and manifestos, between wordy and skimpy, Brief Messages are viewpoints on design in the real world. They’re pithy, provocative and short — 200 words or less.
A Brief Message is an edited publication. The staff solicits Brief Messages from individuals of all walks of design life.
A Brief Message publishes weekly. We monitor comments (also not exceeding 200 words) and reserve the right to keep discussions on topic.
All Brief Messages are the sole property of their respective authors. A Brief Message reserves the right to reprint or publish, online or off, all Brief Messages and their comments.
Jason Santa Maria | Fighting Off Design Stagnation
by sbrothier
I’ve only been out of school and working in the industry for a few years now, but I can already feel it. The feeling like my hands are getting tied. Like I am coming up with the same old ideas or dipping into my overused bag of tricks too often. I am left racking my brain for new directions and feeling like the design world will surely leave me behind to make way for today’s new design youth. You might laugh because it’s only been a few years, but this is where it begins.
Cultural Belief (Part 2)

Don't you know that we are conditioned by our environment? Even, we do not know what is good to eat. We even can be conditioned so that food that taste "not nice" become "delicious".
Success is a Habit
by bestofme
Do you belief that your success is dependant on your habit.
If you really want to be successful, then write and develop a successful habit.
Your habit is your foundation of your long term success.

Design View : Andy Rutledge - Objectivity Be Damned
by sbrothier
Designing a website is like designing a sex chair. You can gather all the objective data you like from the most comprehensive of studies, but if you’ve not had sex in a chair – in a variety of different chairs - and fully and intuitively appreciate the various issues of, let’s say, alignment and accessibility (ahem), you’ve no business designing that chair. Put another way, if you ain’t feelin’ it, neither will anyone else.

e texte, écrit par Neville Brody fut lu lors d'une conférence typographique à New York en 2003. Un cri dans la nuit, plein d'angoisse, une plainte chuchotée devant un micro devant des professionnels attentifs et ébahis de tant d'audace.
