I really can't imagine designers who do not know a thing about HTML and stuff, this article is either talking about young 'designers' or is saying that all designers are retarded.

#1 Hate Flash.
#2 I learned HTML/CSS first, design-thinking later.
#3 This is just poor and unskilled, not to mention unorganized, which is what a designer should never be.
#4 This is probably the only peeve on the list that I could be accused of. Mostly because I’m thinking of the experience and if everything makes sense to give little attention to the copy/content.

To fellow designers, if you’re not taking into account the people who will actually use the application and basically making a pretty app, then you’re not a designer. You’re a browser decorator.

Nice article I think everyone has had a clumsy PSD file sent to them at some point, and they are a miver to sort out. But I think as long as all parties involved are talking to one another these problems do not happen, unless it is the start of the working relationship.Great article Well . . .

Design is all about simplicity (”common sense”). I don’t mean to set out any rules here. Just observations and suggestions from years of watching designers and developers interact. Agreed.

At the last agency I worked for, I didn't touch a css file or a photoshop file due to the FACT that they are all design related.Personally, the only peeve I feel that is relevant to a developer is getting told how to code PHP, javascript, etc by a designer. However, saying that, it is funny to find out how clueless a designer is. They have no idea how 'easy they have it' Hi
