The decorate vs. communicate one is so very true.
Its something I have always struggled with and I feel that once you have really focussed on communication - everything else follows.

Good designers use starbursts, great designers use stellar-informed illuminations to shape the participant's attention flow.

agree with most.. but definately not the "fix problems v prevent problems" part.
sometimes the client is the problem and can't be prevented. in such cases a designer that can fix a problem while maintaining the artistic cred. is the great designer in my eyes.

(Oct 10 06, 14:07)we have a client here and we knew their lack of being able to look past the design, at the content was going to be a huge problem. we designed grayscale wireframes for them to force them to focus on the way we choose to lay out their content, and process. they loved it.
problem prevented. :)

(Oct 10 06, 14:18)is't that common practice? i do ui design (mostly), and we always start with wireframes before moving on to visual design. is the process different for web design?

for this:
http://www.webjamsession.com/i found the presentation helpful. i never had the quality of graphic instruction that I really wanted. sure I can learn from experience, but getting that experience isn't something i feel like spending energy where I am not so profecient.
in short, it isn't the quick points that are important here, but the material that these points sum up.
and his stuff ain't so shabby either....

I agree with all of the points mentioned, except maybe the note of "everything at once" vs "selective iteration". I think it's important to always have the ad, site, whatever, grasped as a uniform whole before you tackle each part. Being (too) selective can lead to loss of consistancy.
...But I might have misinterpret their point.They forgot to mention awesome designers though. You know, those artsy guys who are popular enough to get away with almost anything. They earn quite a living.
And then theres ultimate designers. Those guys that do what awesome designers do, except they do it right. Without any boasting.
