Design

To me, I think with design less is more. A lot of the time I think we try to do to many things and in the argument between artistic vs. usability, usability wins. With the final project page for our group, when we design it we are trying to make sure that anyone from an experienced Internet user, to a grandmother everyone can use our page. Making something artistic limits the people who can view the page. I might be old fashioned, but I really think that design and content are much more important than artistic ability, or how well you know how to use flash. I think someone who truly understands how to use flash would make the page very usable, and mildly artistic.
