Sometimes I’m surfing around, and all the sites I find seem to be trying to tell me something. Last night they all seemed to be about the designer’s role on the web. Without the control of print, with usability gurus breathing down their necks, with a host of consultants mouthing hastily invented best practices, with statistics appearing every a link changes from blue to purple, how can a designer get his/her head above water long enough to create?

talk about it

btw, I just picked up badpractices.com at the urging of mike (mr. biggerhand.com). anyone want to suggest how to use it, I’d love to hear from you.

    Bad practices – the first thing that springs to mind is a collection of those really DUMB things some companies do, like installing cameras to spy on staff, or forcing people to go on weekend ‘bonding weekends’, supply free alcohol and then complain about unruly behaviour….for example…ahem.

    Use for a community lessons learned site/board. Not only stating what went wrong with projects, but how to fix it in the future and allow for comments. Could become a great resource.
