Must Design

The G+ post explains why I expose my amateur design skills to the pros (usually to a little condescension and derision :). I don't attach EGO to copy or website design anymore. EGO and GREAT aren't compatible when TEAM is required to do anything online.

This rough beta design for Story of Cancer Foundation is giving the great design team at WTE.net (my friends Eric and Cynthia Garrison) some ideas about what I'm thinkng. I "design for designers" because doing so makes sure my vision is in there (somewhat) and the process is FASTER.

Huge shout out to @HaikuDeck again (just wrote about why it ROCKS the other day on ScentTrail http://bit.ly/14xEvW1 and using it today to find royalty free images (really royalty free not the bait and switch most boards play) saved HOURS of image searching. THANK YOU HK.

We are going to have to ROCK and ROLL to get everything done by October, so "designing for designers" helps save time and they will be comfortable letting me handle filling in their designs if they see I can manipulate images and understand some design basics (and we all should).

You may think, "Wow this design sucks," and it may (only actual use can determine if a design is working or not), but its is FAST and EASY and it will help get the feedback needed to become great. Can't make money now (locked up in my head lol).

Be sure to share your ideas, thoughts, comments and we hope you will join and support Story of Cancer and the Tech Cures Cancer movement. Together we cure cancer in OUR lifetime (and remember I already have cancer so needs to be SOON please :). M
