Software development is a pain in the ass (pardon my french). In the design crew we’re more or less down to tweaking details in Headlight. Our main purpose right now is to visually synchronize the various elements to present a coherent experience throughout the interface. Which as certainly led to the killing of a few darlings.

If you’ve ever had the slightest experience designing websites, or interfaces, you know how painful it is making those pretty little photoshop mock-ups into reality. You have to deal with all sorts of annoying factors like; what’s technically possible, cool but not very important details that will take four months to code, not everybody is using FireFox, the product actually has to make sense not just be visually pleasing. Totally unreasonable demands, that no one should ever need adapt to.

So what to do when all else fails and you’re facing these fatal decisions. Here at TraceWorks we trust our most important dilemmas to the ancient powers of the east. We ask a ninja.
