It was another day at the office when people were concerned about some stuff regarding the effort required on design, how can i cut down on something when i need to give quality. They say that if we don't we will suffer and lose against the competition. While I understand that people have business to take care of , but how would i cut my time when i customize something for a client.
I was told and suggested as to why not to use templates.
T E M P L A T E S???
Doing template driven work is not for me, it denies the objective of me jumping into design leaving my software job. A designer who copies templates is not creative at all, i feel he is just a human version of a xerox machine. I don't know how many people can ever understand the importance of originality. How many people understand that design like many other things is a process to solve problems, it has a purpose to it. The purpose is to solve somebodies problem of understanding a complex theory, the purpose of letting a user navigate and saving his time , the purpose of inculcating some thought in the mind of the target audience.
Hope folks in my company understand this one day.
Till then.....
