My take on "Design Fundamentals for Developers (and Other Non-Designers)" Workshop at MIX10.

"Kill your babies."
- Robby Ingebretsen

I fully agree, and I believe this is the key component to the creative process, be it design, development, writing or whatever you may partake in. Having the courage to throw away, redo, or in other ways alter your work or parts of it, is a crucial ability if you want to be successful.

All-in-all, having participated in this workshop, I feel that I have been given a new set of communicational tools, that enable me to convey my thoughts to a designer, in a way that the designer hopefully can understand.

However, it should also be said, that I really think the workshop should be named "Design Fundamentals for Professionals That Need Structure and Arguments For Why They Do What They Do in The Creative Process". There are way too many people in the industry that just do things, and have no rationale as to why they do them. This workshop is for you. And anyone wanting to work with you.

You can watch the workshop at Channel 9.
