			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was checking my mail when I got at this subject on linkedIn group  &#8230; the topic was &#8220;Why designers should learn how to code?&#8221;  <a href="http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/why-designers-should-learn-how-to-code/">http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure that the article on sixrevisions is writen by a programmer. If one&#8217;s going to be web designer well.. he have to know some programming yes, but then what about developing RIA? If one&#8217;s going to be print designer why does he need to know php/asp/whatever?   The designer is a creative person in terms of art. Programming and drawing doesn&#8217;t mix well if you ask me. Here&#8217;s why.. one can do &#8217;some&#8217; programming and can do &#8217;some&#8217; drawing &#8230; so&#8230; what? Is that particular person good at anything or just knows some stuff? It&#8217;s a matter of mentality. The mentality for design and graphics is sooo different from the programming that  I think one can write whole book about it.</p>
<p>Do you know any people who are drawing from the age of 3 and their whole life is in painting and drawing? Now.. do you know people who<span id="more-158"></span> want to be engineers since they were born?<a href="http://images.sixrevisions.com/2009/06/11-01_designers_code_leading_img.jpg" rel="lightbox[158]"><img class="alignright" title="Why designers should learn to code?" src="http://images.sixrevisions.com/2009/06/11-01_designers_code_leading_img.jpg" alt="" width="330" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t mean the people who were told &#8220;You are going in that school and will become this and this! &#8221; , I mean people who are truly dedicated to something? Well if you know then tell me would you work with someone dedicated in what he do or you&#8217;ll work with somebody who is just playing here and there, trying things out ?</p>
<p>I often laugh at  job offers where one wants &#8216;web/graphic designer&#8217; and then in the job description all kind of programming and development stuff is mentioned, but art education or something like this doesn&#8217;t even exists and if it does its like &#8220;and a good eye for design is good but not really needed&#8221;. HA!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a definition of design in wikipedia.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Design is used both as a noun and a verb. The term is often tied to the various applied arts and engineering. As a verb, &#8220;to design&#8221; refers to the process of originating and developing a plan for a product, structure, system, or component with intention. As a noun, &#8220;a design&#8221; is used for either the final (solution) plan (e.g. proposal, drawing, model, description) or the result of implementing that plan in the form of the final product of a design process. This classification aside, in its broadest sense no other limitations exist and the final product can be anything from socks and jewellery to graphical user interfaces and charts. Even virtual concepts such as corporate identity and cultural traditions such as celebration of certain holidays are sometimes designed. More recently, processes (in general) have also been treated as products of design, giving new meaning to the term &#8220;process design&#8221;.<br />
</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>The person designing is called a designer, which is also a term used for people who work professionally in one of the various design areas, usually also specifying which area is being dealt with (such as a fashion designer, concept designer or web designer). Designing often requires a designer to consider the aesthetic, functional, and many other aspects of an object or a process, which usually requires considerable research, thought, modeling, interactive adjustment, and re-design.Being defined so broadly, there is no universal language or unifying institution for designers of all disciplines. This allows for many differing philosophies and approaches toward the subject. However, serious study of design demands increased focus on the design process</em></p></blockquote>
<p>A designer isn&#8217;t only the person that &#8220;does the images&#8221; or in other words the art educated person and thats why I disagree with John Urban, the writer of the above mentioned article. Since the term designer is used for people who create the visuals and developer is used for people who do the programming part, it isn&#8217;t understood correctly.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny though that everybody are designers and as end results we see all these ugly websites, ads, buildings and what not. I have lot&#8217;s of friends who are programmers, but they know they are not good in graphics and arts. If I say in front of them that I&#8217;m a programmer like them an instant smile will be on their faces. Why? I&#8217;m interested in visual arts and thats what I do.. They have taken the time to learn how to make things, I am taking mine to learn how to make things look beautiful. Period.</p>
<p>So now I&#8217;m asking you, what do you think?</p>
