1. I think we have for too long been enamored of this idea of the genius designer, or design as this thing that some really cool person produces. I have to say, with respect, I think that’s bullshit. I think that design is a thing that anybody does, guy does, gal does to actually take all of the ideas that everybody has about what a product can be, and to bring them together in a way that creates an elegant, appropriate, cohesive solution for the end users. -Leah Buley

Users are known now to scroll thru a whole page before they really get into reading content most the time now.
