3 Simple Reasons Designers Will Rule The Day
Prediction: It won’t be the coders, or the producers. It won’t even be the SEO guys. In the end, designers will rule the internet day.
Why? Here are three reasons:
1. Designers connect most directly to the client. The world is about relationships, and the computer group that realizes this first will be the ones still around after the dust has settled. So far, the designers are leading the charge. This is seen more and more as individuals, using their name instead of a company name, and presenting person to person, are the ones getting the work. It’s amazing what sitting down over a virtual cup of coffee can accomplish.
2. Designers are the ones catching the vision and presenting it to the public. They are the direct link from a clients brain to a viewers eyes. If they can make the connection, they get the job. When I surf the internet and see a site that makes me say, “Ohh”, that’s (mostly) the designer doing his or her job.
3. Good designers tend to be an artistic group. EMOTION! This thing call the World Wide Web isn’t really about text and pictures, it’s about what you can do with it. It’s a portal. Artistic (read: emotional) people who have the skills to present emotion through code are the ones that connect closest to the end goal: emotion.
You will always need the coders, photographers, manufacturers, but the designers will be the ones that Rule the Day.
