It mostly covers how to evaluate good ux principals effectively but given it was written before the dawn of RIA, it's somewhat insightful to see how things really haven't changed. - Scott Barnes Rich Platforms Product Manager #1 Robbie Fan Club Member Microsoft.

I was just having a conservation with my wife about the difference between an artist and a designer being the level of creativity. To be honest, I'm comfortable with my functional design in place of emphatic creativity... Some of my best friends are artists but I can't imagine trading places with them :) Check out this <a href='http://www.hillmancurtis.com/index.php?/film/view/artist_series/' rel="nofollow">artist series of short films</a> by Hillman Curtis. Really well done insight into the strange inner workings of a true graphic artist. That’s funny.
