Pencils Down: Stop Designing & Start Developing

Pencils Down: Stop Designing & Start Developing

Designers can’t help themselves. We are, by nature, perfectionists. We create, then throw away. We create again, tweak continuously, and fine-tune a design indefinitely. Why can we not stop ourselves? Time passes us by, missing deadlines. In turn, developers anxiously wait for us to finish, so that they can work off of something that has been solidified. During this session, you will learn strategies that will push your design to that "good enough" stage, so you will know “when to say when” and move from designing interfaces to developing them.

    that you will never reach dry land, never have the sense of accomplishment of saying, "I'm done." At the same time, to be finished, done, complete--this is a bit like being dead. The silence and the feeling that maybe that's all. …the challenge is to level set, to be comfortable with the undone, with the cycle of never- ending…Today, we're never finished, and that's okay. - Seth Godin http://goo.gl/VtNAX
