Working with designers is an important and underrated thing for developers. I worked at a design firm for years and learned an awful lot.

It's a great selling point too. Many web projects suffer from, shall we say, a bit of friction between design and implementation. I sell myself to potential clients on my respect for, and ability to communicate with, designers.

Knowing a designer's vocabulary will make you better at what you do.

I agree. I don't know if you checked out the link, but I designed and coded that in about one hour. I may not be a designer - but I definitely speak their language!
did you read your designer spec? it simply says "inspirational, loves photoshop and already using CS5" as a designer thats 0% content
I know it's a little scanty. Would you like to give me suggestions?

But please stay away from negative comments. I wrote the spec, how can I not have read it?
