    If you don’t understand the materials & tools of your medium, you’re not a designer; you’re someone who draws pretty pictures. #xd #ixd #ux

        @aral using language like 'drawing pretty pictures' undermines what design is and makes it harder for everyone. Design is not making pretty

        @aral your tweet sounded like you where saying the inexperienced are not designers just decorators only experienced can really design

        @pixelpanda Nope. Experience is entirely separate. It’s not experience but focus on the right skills for the job.

        @aegirthor I don’t believe it naturally follows that you’re an artist :) (Not you, of course, I think you’re an artist & a designer) :)

        @aral therefore you can understand code but not code?

        Replying to @Alexhorre

        @alexhorre That’s a false distinction. If you can understand code, you can code. Otherwise, you don’t really understand code.

        @aral quality code and domain knowledge; bias skillsets of your coworkers? Sometimes a generalist is the worst for quality delivery.

        @paulcarvill sorely tempted to use that line when talking to designers about web typography.
