		<description><![CDATA[Parallax. It may be an unfamiliar term to many. It&#8217;s defined as the apparent displacement of an observed object due to a change in the position of the observer. For example, a driver may look at a speedometer and it reads 65, but when the passenger looks on it appears to read a different speed [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve seen some out there, but frankly they are terrible. I want one that is beautiful and provides lots of functionality that a user would want instantly at their fingertips.

Of course, we&#8217;re not going to hit every step here but we&#8217;ll hit the basic steps of getting to the wireframing step. Ideally, this would all be proceeded by steps such as some preliminary user research, persona creation, requirements gathering and other necessary steps in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WARNING: Hot Topic. Should designers know how to code/develop? This is a question I&#8217;ve seen asked many times recently. I&#8217;m a designer that started college majoring in Computer Science. This situation is not a unique one, although it seems to rarely happen that someone who majors in design becomes a programmer. I believe many share [...]]]></description>

Whether it was a simple "I would like to see this changed here" to an all-out "I don't like this at all," we've all heard something about our designs that didn't pan out the way we expected. Here's some tips to handling criticism of your designs.]]></description>

They came in all different sizes and sometimes they gave you a splinter, but most of the time they gave you a nice little log home for your G.I. Joes or Ninja Turtles. Now, it probably took you 15-20 minutes to get the log [...]]]></description>
