Learn to Design
by Abhishek
Recently I came across exceptionally good resources for learning “Design”, which I would like to share with you all but before that, understand what is Design.
“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” – Steve Jobs

Great Share Abhishek. These stuff is something you can read more than once, and every time it you find something new in it.
More over this I will also recommend to have an account on Behance or Dribbble to see the exceptional work done by the design community and keep on the edge with the ‘trends’ of design.
我個人都係鍾意google啲product 而且google真係快好多(雖然唔知同我唔係在香港secrah有無關係) 我好早之前一向都用yahoo啲product的 而出左gmail之後就開始轉到google 啦 但secrah野就依然用yahoo(因為我比較鍾意Y!個介面 同埋Y!的secrah results比較好…..這可能因為我不在香港 所以google secrah會set咗用local site secrah 以至d result唔係好啱我要求) 但大約今年左右吧 我已經接近放棄Y!了 因為實在慢到我不能忍受 我只不過要用佢個secrah function 但佢卻花了超長時間just to load its other functions 而且我發現google的results也ok 所以非必要我都不用Y!了 ….不過我識得一d人 他們大都因為習慣我關係依然係會keep噃用Y!或MSN的 ———-的確好多時人都不想承擔自己選擇的結果/代價 其實我覺得有時d人問你意見abt a issue 之後如果佢因為你的意見作出選擇而得不到理想的結果 通常佢都會賴你 好似自己完全不用負責 也不會想想又沒人迫佢選 而我呢 要作某些決定時 也不會特別去問別人的意見 就是問了也是just for my reference 但基本上很多時我自己也早已有了決定(其實好多人都是這樣啦 例如行街買衫呀 朋友拿起一件問我好唔好看 說真的如果佢不是有d鍾意的話佢就唔會拿來問啦 這不是已make decision 嗎 她只是想要support而已 anyway 件衫係佢而不是我著 佢著得開心咪得囉!) 但唔知點解好多時我的決定都沒什麼人支持的(eg.我F.5畢業之後決定去新加坡讀F.6-7 好多人(..呀..朋友 同學 even老師)都反對啦 因為佢哋覺得好地地又唔係考唔到 為什麼要risk urself to adapt a new environment while working for A-Levels…) 但我到現在都無咩後悔我作的決定呀 anyway我覺得與其花時間後悔 不如將所謂”錯的”決定變成”對的” 反正對錯也只是一線之差
