Design the Skyline

An experimental who-knows-what-core band from Corpus Christi, Texas. Signed to Victory Records. One of the most hated bands of all time, commonly referred to as "Unsign the Skyline", hated in conjunction with The Bunny The Bear, who got them signed to the label. They have dimple piercings, and tattoos of pikachu and megaman. Musically brilliant in many ways, but their talent is hid by their self deprecation and introvertedness. Their music is generally too abstract for the common listener, containing long interludes of Behold...the Arctopus-like sweeping and blast beats mixed with random noise. They are EXTREMELY loyal to their fanbase, but many people pretend to be fans merely to troll them. These people are quickly eliminated by the true fans
Troll fan: You guys suck! Go kill yourselves. Your music sounds like a cat and a scene kid being thrown into a fan! My two-year-old makes better music when he tortures his dog with a steak knife! Unsign the Skyline, you're a disgrace to music! It's bands like you that ruined Victory Records, taking fans away from amazing bands like Jungle Rot and Sister Sin!

Diehard fan: Get out of here! Obvious troll is obvious. You're such a failure at trolling you should go hang yourself from a bridge.

Music snob: Hey troll, where did you pick up your taste in music? Did you notice how many times they changed time signatures in that song? And do you even have a clue what scale they were playing in? Design the Skyline reminds me of Thelonious Monk mixed with Spastic Ink and pig squeals. Go get a taste in music you ignorant commoner.

Girl: Matt Ryan ur so hot!! id do anything for u!

Matt Ryan: </3. Forever alone :'(

design rodeo

A design session held after weeks of prep and just before a deadline. These decisions are made chaotically and without clear justification. This is analogous to "holding on to the horns of a bull until it throws you off". It also infers that the participants are all cowboys.
The designers just came out of a design rodeo that wrecked the solution - what a bunch of cowboys!

design blind

adj. that describes individuals who are unable to recognize excellent design. Design blindness is a disorder that surpasses mere difference in taste and is typically coupled with a stubborn insistence on pursuing their own unpopular designs.

The bane of designers everywhere, design blind individuals produce efforts that are fraught with clashing colors, outdated layouts, poor lighting, complete disregard for Feng Shui, gross lack of balance, and copious examples of poor font, fabric, and furniture choices that result in generally-recognized eyesores.
I might be tone deaf, but at least I'm not design blind.

Did you see that horrendous website? Whoever made that atrocity is clearly design blind.

Your client isn't unappreciative; she's just design blind.

I want to gouge my eyes out after looking at the work of that design blind scribble monkey.

Design Patterns

In programming, things work by names. Therefore, if you have to change something, add something, remove something, it normally takes a lot of work, as your have to re-implement the names.

Design Patterns is a successful attempt to eliminate the frustration by helping you create a separate interface (where you tell the program what things do) from your classes (how you implement actions).

While it is commonly used in programming, it is also used in architecture.
I used to think real programmers subclassed everything until I found out about design patterns.
