Re: The Weight of Intuition

Nick Dominguez — Tue, 27 Aug 2013 21:59:08 -0000

Thanks for brining this subject up, it's often hard to articulate. I'll add that intuition is also what separates good designers from great designers. A good designer will study and learn a lot of the elements of what makes great design; typography, spacing, color, etc. and apply them in a conscious effort producing something good. It's my belief, that much of these skills come naturally to great designers. It's why you'll see great designers without any formal schooling outshine others with advanced degrees. Jazz is a great example, intuition is critical.

I agree. My guess is they will launch private pens which will fix this issue.

Re: Design Versatility

I think most well known designers on the web are known for their "signature styles" but I've always admired the designer that could tackle any style and execute it really well. This in my experience is what I was taught in design school. I'm not entirely sure if this is a good metaphor or not but I always think of the great actors that take on very different roles and just nail them perfectly. I'd be happy if I could look back at my work and see variety and not just one certain style executed every time.

Congratulations Mike!

We're (South Florida) always in a shortage of great designers so you will be sorely missed.

Good luck in California and enjoy the scenery.

Re: Brian’s Auto Industry Stimulus Plan

I like your idea in theory but I don't think it's very realistic.

The idea of creating more debt for Americans seems like a really bad one to me. I believe one of the fundamental problems that has led us to where we are at today is our addiction to credit. Too many of us are spending money that we don't have, your plan would only perpetuate this problem.

The other problem with this idea is the people that your plan claims will be eligible for the credit can't really afford the purchase. One of the reasons they are driving cars that are 10 years old and worth less than $5k is because that is simply all they can afford.

Let me first state that I'm not anti-capitalism, I think the system works and this has been proven, but the problem lies in the execution. There is a reason why our economy is currently in a meltdown and that is because of greed. Capitalism's biggest weakness has always been that in most cases profit trumps people, the case of Bechtel's water wars in Bolivia is a great example.

Re: Cherp is a Twitter-Flavored Agency

Nick Dominguez — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 08:47:59 -0000

I don't have a problem with companies/brands having genuine conversations on Twitter with their customers or potential users but do they really need an agency to do this?

Re: Choosing a Programming Language to Learn

Nick Dominguez — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 10:33:32 -0000

No mention of Python/Django, did you look into this language/framework? It seems to have some to have some of what you are looking for, but I would imagine you would have less resources in terms of peers helping you out with this language.

Yeah I was staying out of the color wars but I might have to jump in just because of the sweater.

I'll go a bit off topic here and just say that I heard a piece on this initiative on NPR and I think what Tesco is doing is great. Tesco plans on opening a good number of this stores in lower income areas, starting off in the L.A metro area I believe.

Re: "Creative Freedom" is an Oxymoron

Nick Dominguez — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:35:43 -0000

This is somewhat related but I've always liked to think of embracing design constraints when it comes to flash. I think alot of interactive designers ran to flash to attain this "creative freedom" but now I find it interesting to see how flash design has really changed in the past few years, the aesthetic is changing almost like the designers are creating artificial constraints for themselves, you can see this in alot of the flash sites that are coming out now.

I think now that we all have some experience onTwitter and have figured out how it fits into our online activity it is definitely playing a bigger role in our lives.

What has me excited about this service, even in spite of all it's quirks, is that it's really what we have been talking about along now and that is "rss as email"
