Eager designer
Take time to think about it
Before diving in
Categorizing—Oh, designer of this site—Is what you should do.
Just please, Adobe,Make the rounded corners scaleWith the shape I made.
Take pride in your work .
Do not take pride in yourself —
You’ll become an ass.
We crave the complex
To solve hard problems with smarts
Screw simplicity
Your eloquent wordsCapture my thoughts exactlyBut what about blah?
The State of Design by Pete Lacey
Should designers code?Is a dead horse still a horse?Shut up and do work
My dearest friend, FlashYour death sentence was issuedNice knowing you, (fl)as^s(h).
Should you try to doThat thing you’ve always wanted?You have to decide.
Normal is not realThe Eighty/Twenty bell curveAffects all design
The answer is thereSo blatantly obvious.No, it can’t be right.
Bolder is betterSome designers like to sayOthers say it’s not.
Slight, intentionalUpgrades to the project youAre working hard on
Six, Eight, Twelve, SixteenAll versions of a systemTo layout designs
Lead a designerTo javascript and they willRefuse to use it
Teach a designerTo write javascript and theyWill be successful
This journey called lifeIs but an experiment.Take chances, fear not.
Such a simple toolYet elegantly createsBeautiful artwork
Almighty duoThe pursuit of our lifespansTakes all and gives none
This demon so darkTwisted and cruel, follows meAnd tells me I’ll fail
How did I get here?Am I really good enoughTo have this status?
A rushing riverFull of amazing ideasEbbs, wanders and flows
The best solutionElusive and bodilessOh where could it be
Tell me, designer,Why do you decide to useGlowing drop shadows
Adobe, why doesIllustrator have onlyNinety-nine art boards?
Oh great Adobe,Why must vector renderingUse all GPU?
