Because it all comes down to strengths. Designers make it look great. Developers make it work well. The vast majority of designers don't code well. And the vast majority of developers don't design well. Both areas can make respectable efforts at playing on the other field. And the higher ups don't care who does what sometimes as long as it looks respectable and works decently. My favorite "bitter drum" to beat is the one about developers using Photoshop and its dumbed down filters and layers effects to thrust the contrived copy-cat Web 2.0 "style" on us. :-) Maybe we should make Photoshop less of a toy for non-designers...it should require everyone to originate a concept and do thumbnail sketches with a pencil on paper first. Thoughts to chew on :-) Feel free to agree or disagree (althought I may not respond quickly because I'm conducting a tour group for 4 hours, YIPES!). Brian Mays
