Dear Ben,

    You will undoubtedly get many, varied responses. David, the designer
    for our design company, very rarely deviates from his sketch. He
    firmly believes varying from the original design concept is the road
    to unforseen pitfalls. I will add, for all of you who do not know
    David, that his ability to see 3 dimensionality in a 2-d sketch is
    almost uncanny. So, it stands to reason that as he draws, his mind is
    seeing the finished 3 dimensional product and the steps he will take
    to get there. 

    I design a bit on the side, and I rarely complete a project exactly
    as drawn. I tend not to see the pitfalls ahead, and then need to
    adjust my design for a better end product. Usually it is something
    like, the design looks great from the front, but not so hot from the
    side. Or perhaps it doesn't lay quite right, so I alter the design to
    accommodate. I suspect this is a short coming, but I like your
    wording better : "embracing it as a natural part of the design
    process" sounds so much better than my explanation! 

    David and I do agree that there is a place in design work for
    spontaneity. Being open to a great idea is always a good thing,
    regardless of when the idea strikes.
