This came up because I was banging my head against the wall trying to figure out ways to graphically contribute here (other than my silly icons), so I posted the following Backstage and thought I would bring it up here as well to see what folks here in the Community thought of it:
QUOTE I am so ignorant when it comes to creating a layout. I almost feel that as the only HeadStaff that cannot do this, we should have some type of "Dancing with the Stars" type thing where someone takes a person that can't dance, well, in this case, do a layout, pair with them and at the end of the show they can do a killer layout! After a little encouragement, ranting continued: QUOTE Who knows though, it could be fun to see folks paired up with some of our infamous designers (such as Rachael, Carrie, Kristina (although I know she's very busy right now), Kathleen, Ryan, et al). Could even put up AIM transcriptions of the star designer trying to coach the learner on how to design (if so desired). Any thoughts? (Oh and sorry for pointing certain super designers out, I know there are more than those, but they are the first to came to mind that morning). |

^It would be rather difficult, but not extremely impossible. Of course, half of the design isn't going to suit either partner because of style or taste differences, but keeping in contact and sharing ideas with each other helps a lot. I suggest to everyone, know who your partner is going to be and plan ahead, preferably someone who you keep in contact more than others, also someone who shares common aspects of designing/coding and is going to be responsible for their share. Even if the design isn't extremely pleasing to either partner, it's the cooperation and effort that made the difference of a finished to an unfinished product.
