+# Psst, you can empower the designers on your team
+Tips from a frontend developer to another.
+
+This zine is based on the article [How Frontend Developers Can Empower Designer’s Work](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2019/10/frontend-developers-empower-designers-work/) that I wrote for Smashing Magazine a few months ago. At the bottom, you can check the written version but for now check out the illustrative version! Feel free to [download the printable version](./print.png).

+### Written Version
+
+## Look beyond your code editor
+Remember these design principles when implementing user interfaces:
+- Hierarchy
+- Alignment
+- Spacing
+- Contract
+
+## Teach them code, not how to code.
+Show to designers the joy of tweaking visuall stuff in the browser.
+
+### Dev Tools
+Refine layouts, fonts, spacings and animations.
+
+### Code Playgrounds
+Explore and tweak on [Codepen](codepen.io/) or [Glitch](glitch.com/)
+
+
+## Include each other in the process
+Ask designers to include you in their design process and include them in the development process as well.
+
+You'll discover they do much more than _"make things pretty"_.
+
+They'll better understand the web constraints and why a feature takes time to implement.
+
+## Have doubts about the design specs? Ask First!
+Do not let assumptions turn into bad decisions. You’ll be risking the trust the designers put on you.
+
+Whenever in doubt, reach out and clarify the specs. This will show designers that **you care as much as they do.**
+
+## Don’t make workarounds by yourself
+When a designer asks you to implement a tricky design, don’t say _“It’s impossible”_ nor try to implement a cheap version of it.
+
+Explain to them, in simple terms, the constraints and be open to collaborating on a new solution.
+
+## Go off-the-record once in a while
+We all have tasks to deliver and roadmaps to finish. However,
some of the best work happens off-the-record.
+
+Go sneak into their workspace and explore new things. You never know what can come from there!
+
+## Let designers be picky
+What it truly means to be picky:
+
+- Choose with care
+- Ensure cohesion
+- Create the best
+
+**be picky together <3**
