Breaking Down Silos, Part 1: The Consequences Of Working In Isolation - Smashing Magazine - 1 views

  • if you don’t understand the reason for someone’s decisions, distrust can creep in
  • First rule of design feedback: what you’re looking at is not art. It’s not even close. It’s a business tool in the making and should be looked at objectively like any other business tool you work with. The right question is not, “Do I like it?” but “Does this meet our goals?” If it’s blue, don’t ask yourself whether you like blue. Ask yourself if blue is going to help you sell sprockets

How To Become A Web Design Expert - Smashing Magazine - 2 views

  • being an expert is more than about getting people to listen. If that is all you can manage, then they will see through this shallow desire and not give you the status that you believe you deserve
  • design that lessons learned four years ago do not apply today. But I’m not convinced that is the case. In my experience, although technology changes, people do not.

  • Succeeding in your chosen career and becoming a true expert requires that you fail not just once or twice, but again and again.
  • Being willing to fail is a sign of maturity, bravery and a desire to do better.
  • Those who are never seen to fail are either too timid
  • to try, for fear of public ridicule, or simply do not desire success enough to endure the sting of failure.
  • The first step to being recognized as an expert is to stop insisting that you are one
  • The truly great have little to prove,
  • Becoming an expert has to be about more than having an ego trip. Rather, it should always be about serving others. You become an expert so that you can do a better job for your clients, provide more value to your organization and help others establish best practice in your industry. Ultimately, if all you want is to be loved and respected, you will never achieve your aim. People can detect that kind of narcissism a mile away and will dismiss you as vain.
