Luke, Redesign v. Realign
I really liked this article. As designers when we are approached by a client we always start to redesign their project. Sometimes all they want is a realign though. This article defines what a redesign is and what a realign is. The way each is approached is different and when they are followed I think it will lead to more happy clients. The hard part is defining when each is needed. This article will help with that. Web designers give this a read.
