I am a complete dud where graphic design is involved. I know what I like but cannot do it at all well. With a typical man's approach to colour co-ordination (nil) and my pre-school level of drawing/design ability I have had to get users, wife and kids to criticise my layouts so I can improve them.

I can relate - in regards to my last job - but, not so much of just too much on the screen, but, rather - screens where its about 50% filled - but, its as though these other programs stood back 10 yards - and just THREW the data elements and labels onto the screens. Some were SO Horrible - it would make me Cringe. Things just weren't lined up, and then there would be loads of space and weird layouts - just like they didn't Care how it looked - or, worse yet - had NO Clue that it looked so bad! So, yeah, many times - when I went into a system to work on one thing - I would just go around and start cleaning up many screens... -K- On 12/12/2012 12:33 PM, M Jarvis wrote: >>> Why did this make me think of every Fox app out there? >>> https://plus.google.com/114228869493885222559/posts/RUop3dyB2Cz >>> ;-) >> Because that's the way the AppWizard structured screens? lol > Job before the last job I took over working on 'the database' as they > called it...
