So in the case of viewport and spacing, the minute the designer draws a big rectangle and marks it it "800x600 px", someone can say "OK, about that...", before the designer spends an afternoon figuring out how many pixels to allow for each compontent. | |
| Jul 15, 2020 at 20:11 | comment | added | Daniel | I think your comments re-enforce the challenge of design and development being two separate efforts. The developer shouldn't be trying to throw a wrench in for the designer and the designers shouldn't be throwing their art over the wall to development. Together, they can use their knowledge and skills to come up with a great solution. | |

But identifying annoying edge cases is a core part of a developer's job: less core for graphic designers. So, if it's not viewport size then your developer will find something. | |
| Jul 15, 2020 at 18:01 | comment | added | Steve Jessop | "the platform you are developing in builds a whole additional abstraction on top of the HTML/CSS layer" or even, the HTML/CSS layer builds in a whole additional abstraction beyond what the designer has accounted for. For example, developers are the pedantic sorts of people who ask questions designers hate like, "OK, so you've told me all the spacings in pixels, so what if the viewport isn't the size you think it should be?" This is why CSS pixels aren't really pixels any more: the developers realised they were just being too pedantic! | |
