I cannot think of any possible meaning of the word 'good' as in 'good

creative' that includes putting personal preference above quality. Art

is the thing where personal vision is tantamount - design, on the

other hand, is in service of function as well - a visually striking

chair which is not comfortable is a failed chair. 


Good designers know how to make things which are good looking _and_

easy to use. Anyone who puts desire for a portfolio piece in the queue

ahead of this imperative should be fired at once.

"Here here" on the sentiments of ego over design, but as a caring and

nurturing employer I'd rather try to re-educate the errant designer than

lose their misplaced talent.
