Web Designer Excuses

DesignTAXI recently reported on a website every web designer will want to bookmark. “Excuses for Lazy Designers” projects fresh excuses for why a web design project is off track. The excuses range from the obvious (“No-one uses IE anyway”) to the insider (Josef Müller-Brockman”). The site was created by Cole Peters, digital designer for Future Workshops, an app development firm in the UK. Peters was inspired by the equivalent website for developers, “Excuses for Lazy Coders.” The DesignTaxi article is especially amusing for the typographic smackdown of Cole’s designs in the reader’s comments (“It’s a typographic thing.”). Designers are a tough crowd all around.
