FWIW, around here designs are looked at by my dept. before hand at which
point we talk about ³do-ability² and offer suggestions and compromises so
everyone has the same expectations as to what the end product will be.
At least that¹s how it¹s _supposed_ to work... ;-)

inspiration), the designer went away and produced a couple of illustrator

Susie,
Graphic designers making a successful transition to the web need to
let go of a lot of the fine control they exercise routinely in print
design. Suddenly the page becomes a rubbery thing, resizable by the
