    Great Article! I work for the best web design firm located in NY called NoamDesign and it’s always great to stumble upon articles that help motivate, educate and inspire! Thanks!

    This is a great article. We just had a fight over this same topic here at Fluid Studio during our weekly staff meeting. If you can create a better piece it’s most likely worth spending the extra time on it. Of course there is a point when you have spent too much time on something…

    That seems to be what it’s all about - trying to make enough money through productivity to have the time to be more creative and spend more time with projects.

    As a designer, my biggest obstacle is working with clients unwilling to take risks - especially expensive ones. A few years of doing boring, safe design at top productivity/efficiency can definitely take the fun out design.
