Part of every web project includes a design team to help make your ideas come alive. More than just designers, these teams are successful thought partners who bring valuable insight, experience, and aesthetic taste to your information and data to help communicators successfully market ideas. But how do they work? What is their process? What interests do these designers have in the realm of the web? And how do they stay current on the ever-evolving web trends? Thursday September 23, 2010 MIT's Web Publishers User Group hosted a panel discussion with Tammy Dayton from Moth Design, Chris DeFrancesco from Alphabetica Design, and Alex Budnitz from Sametz Blackstone Associates. This panel discussed a designer’s perspective on web technologies, trends, and working on web projects.
