“I’m not a big fan of your voice. As an instrument, it’s not working so well. It needs to be weilded like a sword. Right now it sounds like a clumsy battle axe. Strength but no finesse.”

“

Almost every novel I read makes me want to write, just as most cookbooks make me want to cook and many photography books inspire me to take photos. I have yet to come across any inspiring books on web design, though, and I suspect it’s because web designers don’t do as much pure design as the title implies. In other words, perhaps web design has failed to become an artistic medium and simply lacks the material to make an inspiring book.

So I wonder if web designers could become better designers if they emulated the Architect’s system of getting an engineer’s opinion only after his or her imagination has been inked on paper. That is, perhaps we should free ourselves from writing html and css as a profession. Such a strategy might have a better chance at reproducing the radical genius of Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry, if only because web designers could stop handicapping themselves with their fascination with code and the limitations code implies.

““Just because your ad looks good is no insurance that it will get looked at. How many people do you know who are impeccably groomed-but dull?” (It’s easy to buy expensive clothes-but much more difficult to develop inner beauty. A big part of character development has to do with speaking the truth in love. -ben weeks)”
