In slightly more unfortunate news, apparently my previous post about the importance of the design phase in Perspective has caused one of the editors in the team to be quite angry. I’m not quite certain what it’s about, but one of the reasons is about “talking about it online”, so I shall respect her views and will not disclose further information. In my efforts today to figure out what exactly went on during the Perspective meeting (apparently this one was a bit more eventful than the usual session), I came across an email my lead editor sent to all the other editors, urging them to be stricter on time management. Further enquiry showed that my lead editor also spent most of today’s session telling people off on deadlines and such. I applaud this action and sure hope design can be allocated more time, and hence become a more serious part of the creation process. Of course, this doesn’t just benefit me, it benefits everybody in the team, especially the editors as they know work will be handed in on time.

I apologize for any ignorance I might’ve displayed of the system – and I offer my suggestions to improve time management and incorporate designing more as beneficial and constructive criticism – not as bait for arguments or even personal attacks. To prevent further misunderstanding I have stopped comments (yes, you lazy lot can go back to using your feed readers and not bothering to comment) on the post, and hope to have this issue cleared up soon.
