Design, not decide

I am starting to get few emails regarding widget designs/adjustments/improvements, etc. I think that is okay. What is not, however, is one's indecision as to what he/she should do as one refines the widget for submission.

Everyone in class should be well equipped to make design decisions in regards to refining/making design decisions. The simple activity is called compare/contrast. You do this by comparing A vs. B, visually/functionally and make the decision. Making decisions with A alone does not yield anything meaningful since you can not compare A by itself. You can not compare A with your thought. You must compare A against B, with your eyes.

I do this every day. For the past 14 years as a practitioner, this is how it's done. No short cuts. Do not send your indecision for me to decide. I will ignore them this point going forward.
