Comments on: Learning Less Than Expected From Design Superheros http://manisheriar.com/blog/learning-nothing-from-some-designs-superheros Impeccable Code | Beautiful Design Thu, 13 May 2010 19:08:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jeff Croft http://manisheriar.com/blog/learning-nothing-from-some-designs-superheros/comment-page-1#comment-18325 Jeff Croft Tue, 13 Mar 2007 22:58:11 +0000 http://manisheriar.com/blog/learning-nothing-from-some-designs-superheros#comment-18325 Just dropping another apology to those who didn't like it. I'm not sure what about the title "Design Workflows" made anything think we'd be talking about color palettes, but apparently the title left some confused about the topic. This was a discussion about *how* we work. Who, what, when, where, why, and how, actually. It wasn't a discussion *about* our work. It was about our process, our task management, our inspirations, and our daily lives. That is to say, it was about our workflow. If the title and description wasn't clear about that, I certainly apologize (I have no idea who wrote those things, for the record). The site, which was the main deliverable we created for this panel and the sum of all the research we did is at http://designworkflows.com. It was blown of as "some site" above, but it was *the* key thing that we did. You really can't evaluate the panel without including the site in the evaluation, since the entire panel was based on what we learned from the 25+ designers we interviewed. I hope you'll check it out. Thanks for coming, guys. Sorry we disappointed. Just dropping another apology to those who didn’t like it.

Most walked out after fifteen minutes of hearing the “experts” talk about whether or not they listen to music while working?…WTF?

I was so close to falling asleep in there I can't even say if I actually DIDN'T. It is quite possible. I mean, it was valid discussion, but like you said, this is bar talk. I got no usable information from the discussion. Not even a URL I could use (although to be fair they mentioned some and have some site with resources apparently). All I could think is, I am some combination of these people. Big deal. I guess I am normal then. OK. Lets talk color palettes now! Anyway, lost track of you last night. Possees (sp?) come and go right? I think that has really been the best part of this conference for me. The people. I have met some really cool ones. Some on purpose via stalking, and some purely accidently, like you. Everyone has been great and friendly and really interesting in their own ways. It has made for a great conference even if the panels are lame. Mani,
