[Sigia-l] "Designing in Hostile Territory"

Stewart Dean:

> It strikes me that the language is a bit dated here.

I sure hope so.

My career didn't start with the web/dotcom era. For inspiration, I go back
to a time when, say, Leonardo wouldn't give himself half a dozen different
titles, but would be satisfied with "Designer," as in "I'm a Designer, I
Solve Problems." You may recall that that's my calling card to clients.
 
> Do you mean design or do you mean user experience.

I call pretty much everything that comes before deployment-level coding,
Design. Graphical design is never more than 20-25% of what I do.

> The argument I often make is the user experience often is the business model.

Then I invite you to recapture the simplicity and power of calling yourself
a Designer.
