Joshua Blankenship writes in his blog “why design” is the single most important part of our businesses.
By the way, “Design” is broad and if you think it is skin deep, and pretty looks, please please read this in depth. here is how he defines it.

I tend to define design as “the intentional ordering of components” or “logically solving problems.

So you see, design is a whole lot than what most people (and most clients) seem to think.

Few tips for a successful service delivery

Digital Max Solutions — Sun, 13 May 2007 09:23:01 +0000

Make the target not your clients, but clients of your clients.
Your Clients are not interested in you. They are interested in making profit out of what you deliver. Plain. Simple.
Please do some User Testing on any product you make or service you deliver. If it ain’t tested, it ain’t ready.
Beautiful design is not the best design. Functional design = Best Design.

Design = Communication

Digital Max Solutions — Thu, 10 May 2007 09:28:45 +0000

Most important part of your time spent as a designer should be spent on communication.
Communication with client + with project team + with project manager + client’s client = Successful Design.
You don’t have to win design contest to make successful design. You just have to make a functional design.
