In the early stages of planning for a Design Meet where (hopefully) a bunch of web and graphic designers from across the UK will meet up and have a day of fun, meet people they’ve been speaking to on Twitter and be surrounded by people who care about design as much as they do.

At the moment there’s a toss-up between where it could be but at the moment I’m leaning towards London (for obvious reasons: ie. London is amazing).

Ever sitting at work thinking… “I hate my job” ? Well, some people have it worse-off than you.

Just a few workers, fixing the Empire State antennae.

Should they? I don’t think so. However, I think they should understand that there are certain principles of web design that do not apply to other disciplines of design, and vice versa.

If there’s one thing I know about designers, it’s that they’re a selfless group. About a week ago I asked the following question on Twitter (paraphrased):

As a designer, would you be more flattered if someone complimented how you look or how something you’ve designed looks?

I expected more people to say the latter flattered them, but I didn’t expect 100% of the responses to say they’d be more flattered if someone complimented their designs.
