chapter 13

They mistake Style for Design, when the two things are not the same at all. Design communicates on every level. Style can also convey the designer’s contempt for the subject matter. there are many young new designers coming into the world today and Jeffery Zaldman has something to say about them. They are coming into the world coming out with some of the best flash work ever seen. Many people just no of what they see on TV commercials. which is mostly all flash commercials. Jeffery says “Most of my colleagues design sites like this (http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/dialogbox/stylevsdesign/), My jaw drops when I witness their achievements, and I cheer when they take home their well-deserved prizes. Jeffry also worrys that “Not enough designers are working in that vast middle ground between eye candy and usability where most of the web must be built.” As long as our society values Style over Design, surface over substance, the situation where in will never inprove.
