Thoughts from the office by Ed Ball
Tuesday, November 25, 2003

The one where Chris Sells reflects on the difficulty of writing cool apps without graphic designers at your disposal, especially in the new world of Avalon/Longhorn. I like to think that I'm capable of writing usable UI, but UI thats both cool and usable is beyond me. I'd much rather design under the "requirements and restrictions" imposed by an application that needs to run on a 180x180 monochrome PDA than have to design a cool-looking application for a 1600x1200 true color desktop with easy-to-use tools and APIs that make anything possible. Where do you find affordable people that are good at that sort of design work?
