How is the experience of working with a team of visual designers, even while trying to get the UI and usability right?

Kalyan : When you begin to understand the strengths and weakness of your team, from there on every task is handled just like a cakewalk. The balanced communication with the team about what you want, how you want it and why you want it plays the key role in making the project successful. One important thing that I personally practice in my team is involving them as active participants in every phase of the project. Plus, we have the regular brain storming sessions on the project work phase and flow, every idea is considered and we do regular research for usability of the running project.
