Coders vs. Designers

Submitted by Seth on Tue, 04/24/2012 - 14:44

As a web developer I have a situation that happens time and time again where some anonymous graphic designer challenge my skills, sometimes with nearly impossible problems. It usually starts as a simple email with a PSD attachment. This email usually comes from some non-technical business person. It is their job to protect me from the designer(and visa versa) that created it. I will respond with “got it, thanks,” once I download and open it to reveal the website design in all it’s glory. It’s probably 2-3 pages devoid of the real content and always looks great.
