I actually have a lot of respect for programmers and the work involved, especially with php scripts and software like PInegrow - all credit to you and anyone who has put in the hours (even if you think design is easy lol)
One of the reason I show my work, is that it makes me a better designer, it reminds me of the correct process, it drives me to design/build better websites but I’ll always defend design/designers, as that is my passion and people/customers…even Thomas will have picked up a magazine, designed by a pro DTP and thought" wow that looks amazing" and same with websites, layouts/colours, that is design and web design is as much visual as it is coding.
