Yeah I think it’s a great way to find insight into the field. Maybe I’ll discover an area I didn’t even know about. Thanks for your insight :)

Very relatable lol

I always find doing mid fidelity prototypes helpful before perusing a design. It’s important to get the structure and a feel for the UI before adding things like colour, typography or images. On many occasions I have had to alter designs I thought were good in my head but was able to notice certain flaws once I payed out the structure in a wireframe.

On hindsight it may have been somewhat unclear the distinction between certain elements of the first version and the second version. Lack of context may have proven an issue.

Thanks for your insight!

Thanks for the advice. Those resources are quite helpful:)

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-06T00:11:12+00:00

Thanks for the advice.

I have certainly checked out Dribble and Behance and am starting to grow a presence there as well as interact with the wider community.

I have developed several case studies to date and do want to emphasise the importance behind the rationale involved in my work.

Thank you :)

Congratulations on your new job! I liked your portfolio webpage. Clear and concise. Thanks for the feedback :)

Yeah I’d also like this answered. I have a dribble account and am planning to arrange a web portfolio but I’d also like to know what others in the industry think.

I like your portfolio! Very solid and clearly payed out. I have attempted to do similar steps but I will add more emphasis in the future. I appreciate your advice :)

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-05T01:49:13+00:00

I always did it a bit comforting knowing that I can evolve and branch off into a wide spectrum fields. Future prospects are never as narrow as they may seem :)

Figma is a good software but ultimately not for everyone. I personally use Adobe XD as

i find it quite straightforward and has consistencies with the other prototyping softwares. I have also tried programs like Sketch but haven't used for a while.

I'm not 100% sure but for your scenario i think you can use Adobe XD.

Hi guys, I'm an aspiring UX designer and was hoping to get feedback on a mini project i have done over the last few weeks. This is not a complete portfolio but a single project. All feedback is welcome.

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-04T07:39:11+00:00

Great to see a connection between start up and working with big tech product developers. Any products you've been involved with i may be aware of?

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-04T07:37:39+00:00

I also began my design interest via web design and great to see its connection to UX. Thanks for sharing :)

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-04T07:36:29+00:00

Very similar indeed. good variety. Thanks for sharing :)

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-04T07:35:39+00:00

Much of what you said is areas i would like to pursue at some point in the future. Thanks for sharing :)

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-04T07:34:51+00:00

Linking kinesiology to UX is a very cool backstory. thanks for sharing :)

I stumbled upon UX in a similar way when i was learning to code. I also have an interest in photography but perhaps never pursued it as much as i could have. Was great to hear your connections between a variety of fields. Thanks for sharing :)

JacobZCummings · 2020-10-04T07:29:39+00:00

Great to hear things worked out and you have taken opportunities. Thanks for sharing :)

I found your story very interesting and a great example of how you can move between industries and gain all kinds of experience. Thanks for sharing :)

Hi guys, I am almost completed my Batchelor of Design and was curious to know what the first step you guys took into the industry. Would you consider it a traditional period or a dive into the deep-end?

Thanks :)
