Andrei:"what are the other 2/3 of the story that I'm apparently missing" you:"product design is not user centered nor technology centered. It always has and always will be both."
Maybe my math is a little out of whack?? you:"The original question posed was are there design principals that live outside of context. My long answer to that, via example, was that yes, there are." And we agree, but as David points out:"interpretations and utility differ so widely across so many different axis" you:"why even inside whatever point you are trying to make you'd think I'm of the opinion that I only view fundamentals as the only thing any designer ever needs." I dont think that at all, you have a valid point, and in the grander scheme of this discussion on fundamentals and context, the point I feel Dave makes is that a good designer understands one and has a good appreciation of the other. So it seems we're all in agreement, fantabulous. p.eace ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
