I say this half jokingly about the Graphic, Broadcast and Motion Designers:
Obsession - bordering on OCD, rare that I see good design that isn't an a reflection of burning Perfectionism - Isolation - generally a happy bubble where they can be a piece with their alternate realities. Lack of Accountability / Reality - "It's due on 1 hr, but I'm not happy let's start again..." Pixel Perfect Perception - I've seen designers who from about 6 feet away can tell something's a pixel off Color Perfect Perception - I've seen designers who will immediately pick up if a laptops brightness settings are one notch off. Command - Benevolent Dictators Communication - must be highly adept visual, social emotive communicators, able to excite others with their ideas *insert hand waving* Pride - Ego and self worth and work are deeply intertwined. For IXDers Compassion - they care about customers experience Thinking in time - they understand that a user's experience is more than a collection of pages. Motion conveys meaning and emotion. Collaboration - that the best products require a multi-disciplinary approach, tech design, motion. Self Awareness of Limitations - find it easy to ask for help when Constant Searching for the 'real' User - personas Abstraction - ability to normalize many functions/screens into fewer ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
