Design Workflows at Work This panel was advertised as "how great designers work their magic." What it really was is an excuse for 4 designers to talk about what they have in common. This was mainly the following:

• poor/short attention spans
• music used while doing different tasks
• billing/invoicing is a necessary chore
• having fun as a work distraction
• love/hate relationship with IM

The biggest insight was that web designers today are not only aware of HTML and CSS coding issues, most of them are actually doing the coding themselves.
