Over the Fence - Designers and Developers Working Together

Traditionally work flows between designers and developers have been misunderstood and often lead to miscommunication and frustration amongst team members. Who does what and when? Where are responsibility boundaries drawn? Is it good enough for a designer to throw their comps over the fence? How much can a developer ask a designer to do? Jordan Knight and Alex Knight draw the battle lines in this interesting debate and demonstrate working solutions to the above problems. See how tooling and convention can help introduce understanding and a smooth flow of work (and responsibility) between the warring camps.

• Difficulty: General
