I try not to repost other’s content, but this was so good that I had to share it. Matthew and I are of one mind on this issue. He’s written us an excellent article with some great visual aids, one of which I will share with you:

As a professional web designer I’ve noticed a consistent trend in the majority of the projects I’ve worked on: The more time that is spent dissecting, analyzing, and critiquing a design by the wrong kinds of people the worse that design gets. The same trend applies to the number of people involved in the design process.

Interesting point. I noticed, too, that if a client asks for revisions and re-revisions, in most of cases, the result is far away from the initial concept.
The solution? Perhaps they should trust us… :)

It’s the same issue with developing applications. I’d say the more folks that get involved as well as the more time, the worse it becomes. Building by consensus is a terrible means of being productive.
Great post!

I wish I could take credit for it… I found it to be both funny and very, very true!
