[...] Fuck Style – Eric Karjaluoto Don’t be fooled by the title. This is an incredibly thoughtful and insightful writeup on the importance of pragmatic, problem-oriented design over egocentric style-driven work. It was especially interesting to run into this a day after reading Zeldman’s Style vs. Design. [...]

Nice article, I've discussed this same topic with my business partner recently. It seems to me that designing an interface and designing graphics are a very different skill set. Designing an interface requires knowledge of psychology, human factors, ergonomics and usability and is more like engineering. Graphics require a knowledge of color composition, shape and form, and a variety of other artistic capabilities. Both are extremely important to the success of a product.

A lot of interaction designers I've come across are expected to do both. The challenge I've seen is it takes a truly talented person to excel at being both engineer and artist. I think it might be worth consideration to get a good engineer and a good graphic artist to work together to design an interface.

Nice article Eric. I'm interested enough to check your other articles.

I'm interested on seeing your thoughts on what makes Comic Sans a such a horrible font as well :)
