If You will communicate in different places (say forums, do not have to meet) with different people.. many of them say that without proper design, of design - even to use not want to, "immediately close", they say. Others - on the contrary, "your nafig all these trifles, decorations," the main thing - the essence of the mechanism. Why do You think so?... This is a different race of people or creatures are from different planets in the bodies of people?)
No, it was much much easier. Those who are against (or who do not care, or to whom is not important) on the "decorations" - just not developed / or in varying degrees underdeveloped Right Hemisphere. But well developed - the Left.
For those who well, just can not live without design ("just close the ugly") - are poorly developed Left, but is dominated by the Right.
Here and so simple.
Without false modesty (because, after all, should be, ideally, each) about myself - I have not (yet, hopefully) a rare representative of the "race")) people who work well both hemispheres. However I got over it and worked specifically. Developed synchronized. As a result, Design is generally a small part of what I do. And not just, as is claimed (as you can see, the customers I have and channel and festivals and music.group, etc.) and So here I am now, at client sites when necessary - design rule. When necessary - in code climb. And very little time, "climbs" from the code (not even a friend, not a familiar language) without the desired result)
So what am I - the fact that the ideal (the norm) - when all in their places. Content and (functionality, software, hardware, code) and Design (harmony, convenience, usability, margins, fonts, etc.). But You always (until we, as a species, imperfect of representatives shall)) will hear that some hot need design, others deny its necessity as such. In other words, "the outrage of designerof with programi"...) Reasons You already know.
As for the specific myinfospace - in it I do not see how any special thingies, flowers, etc. the "extra" embellishments. That is, too much design is not worth doing, of course. But there until you go bust so far. Basic, convenience, usability, missing. I'd like to. Plus bright, stylish, intuitive, and logical (and, ideally, pleasing, inspiring)) designation, as well as switching modes/power and the Elements. You can do everything without "odd" - it is clear that it is not appropriate. But now there is clearly a lack of design attention. The misalignment, so to speak, in the "left" side..
Better not to have a relationship and keep the best in themselves to even better times.
