Designer - Introduction

Rails
1

Hi everyone,

Just thought I’d introduce myself to some fellow Rails users.

I’m a Web Designer based in Glasgow, Scotland and have over 6 years
industry experience as a Senior Designer, having previously worked for
a graphic design agency before becoming freelance early this year.

During that time I worked on many Rails projects. What role a designer
has in a Rails project seems to vary greatly according to some of the
designers and programmers posts i read. However I can assure you I
don’t just create the pretty graphics and send my developer a layered
photoshop file. I get involved with everything from scoping and
specification, design, building standards compliant HTML and CSS,
integrating the HTML and CSS into the Rails environment while keeping
everything neat and tidy between me and the team with SVN.

You can see some of the projects I have completed on my portfolio site

Hi Gautam,

Thanks for the hello.
I think that question would be better answered by a developer… in
other words I don’t know.

Sorry I couldn’t be of help

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the welcome and kind words. It’s not always easy to reach a
design solution… what is it they say… 10% inspiration and 90%
perspiration! which is very true!!

Thanks again,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the intro. Those are some stunning designs you’ve put
together. I’m always a little in awe of designers - it’s a skill
i’ve never had and never will.

Welcome to the rails group.

Jon
