Hey Guys,

Recently I had a bet with my friend and colleague at the same time
He is a programmer and he was telling that application doesn’t necessary require the good design. It can go without.
What would you think?

To be honest, I rather have a fully featured shitty looking application then a nice looking one that bearly works.

and i think most people would agree with me.

If when you say good design you are talking about appearance, then no, that is not necessary. But IMO design also includes layout and having an application that is well organized and user friendly is very important. Have a well programmed application is great, but if users cant enter data properly, the app is worthless.

I believe both aspects are important, in balance. Functionality should not suffer because of artistry. I think that there is a designer in every programmer, and vice versa. The end result of any project should reflect the requirements of the end-user.

Hey Guys!
Wow, there are a lot of comments. I'm surprised Thanks
Such kind of discussion is a normal thing between programming and designing departments in our studio (<URL snipped>). I liked your posts and certainly I'll drop them to him!

I would say that having both skills would be better. A good graphic artist would not be of use without a good developer and vice versa. but if you're a jack of all trades, then it's better that way.

He is telling the truth, Most IT companies which claims themselve to be CMM,CMMI certified skip designing software , but later the projects become maintenance nightmare.
