Adobe has Zeldman's fabulous article Style vs Design as part of their Motion Design Center's Dialog Box.

The article — which has certainly held the test of time, having originally been published in the early part of this millenium — is about the problem solving attributes of “design” and the “eye candy” properties of “style,” with acute finger pointing at the “designers” out there who don't get the difference. If you like the subject, I suggest Adam Greenfield's The Bathing Ape Has No Clothes — one of my personal favs.

The irony of all this is Adobe's Flash 8-only (if you don't count the PDF) presentation of the material. To show an article with a quote like:

“Not enough designers are working in that vast middle ground between eye candy and usability where most of the web must be built.”

… in such a complicated interface for no good reason (except for the fact that they could do it) is just a little ridiculous. Funny. But ridiculous.
