It's an old article over at "UIWeb":http://www.uiweb.com/, but still a very relevant one. By "Scott Berkun":http://www.uiweb.com/about.htm, Why good design comes from bad design. A delightful read, and why all designers should be able to embrace the crap they come up with and all of their bad ideas. And, in fact, document those bad ideas so you can show the evolution to the good ones.
