What makes a design great is attention to detail.

It’s really that simple.

Are there some potential issues with Responsive Web Design?

UH OH!

Nah.

We just need to pay as much attention to load times and page weight as we do with beautiful design, copy and functionality.

Personality informs everything.

Same personality?

Oprah Jennifer Lawrence

Trustworthy. Professional.

Oprah

Funny. Adventurous.

Jennifer Lawrence

Always communicate & review everything.

Choose your words wisely.

Turn negative situations into positive ones and have fun.

We are all designers.

Make the right choices.

To all you queers. Go back to your holes and wait for GOD. Hell awaits you pervert. Good luck singing there.

This was designed by people like us.

“It’s good enough.”

Unacceptable.

If we see something that sucks, it’s our job to tell someone and/or fix it.

When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you had your technical success.
