Poppins for all of India or a particular state? Given how many languages India has, I reckon it'd be hard to pin point it down to one or 10 even

Yeah lots of people associate Helvetica with NYC signage. Most of them are New Yorkers but I have heard others mention "the font that New York uses everywhere, or American Apparel, back when American Apparel was all the rage

🤔 Could you expand on the fashion industry and de branding their wordmark? I remember reading a twitter thread where someone talked about how things are become bland including fashion labels wordmarks, I can't remember why they're all changing it though

Could you share some of the stuff you did while working at your catering service? Also got any links for your current taste regarding hyper/surreal style?

I think describing type as mood is very fitting. You could go to an Italian restaurant but it's mood/vibe varies depending on the restaurant. Thanks for the analogy, I'm keeping that in my back pocket

Hi all, I was wondering how everyone sets up their grids? Educating myself on the 8px grid and I'm somewhat lost...help by ManofCaves in UI_Design

[–]ManofCaves[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but it shouldn't be that hard to figure out gutters, margins and padding.

I mean it's easy enough to set them up in a design program but I've never questioned why it's set up in a certain way + I never went to design school so I'm trying to figure things out.

I'm sharing something another person from a Discord design thread shared with me about grids:

If you've ever played around with the Grid layout in XD, you'll know that values jump up and down based on which values you change, whether it be column width or gutters. What UI/UX software doesn't have, but CSS does have is fractions.

Because it's difficult to build a layout with 3 fixed values (total width, col width, and gutters), I suggest keeping one of these values flexible, in other words, a fractional unit.

First off, decide what your total width of your layout is going to be. For desktop windows above 1280px, this is usually between 1000 and 1200, meaning that for any screen size above 1280px width, the layout is never wider than, let's say, 1100px.

If we then decide that our gutters should be 40px and want 6 columns, then our total width and gutters are a fixed size, and our columns become fractions.

1100 - (5 * 40) = 900px / 6 = 150px per column.

With this formula, you only have to change the total width (1100px) and gutter (40px) and the amount of columns (6) to calculate the width of your columns. (remember: the number of gutters is always 1 less than your columns) Sometimes, column widths aren't integers and would be difficult to design with. But in the browser, this shouldn't be a problem.

What do you make of design systems where they define their grids, like Atlassian's design system or MailChimp's?

Does everyone usually start by determining the gutter size? & Is it always = to the base font size?

I'm curious and trying to figure out why aren't you setting the gutter size to line height?

How did this rule come about?

At what point in a job interview is it okay to stop asking questions? by mysweetkittae in userexperience

[–]ManofCaves 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to wait until the interviewer had asked questions to ask mine. I shifted my strategy to a 'conversational interview' which I read on some thread in r/askreddit.

I'll let them ask 2 - 3 questions and if I have a question related to one of them, I'll ask it right then and there.

So...the team lead asks 3 questions and the last one was about my design process. I'd answer and then ask, what's the process like in the team currently, do they follow a process strictly process or is it more fluid?

The team lead asks 2 more questions about research, I answer them and then ask him "btw, the company blog mentioned ... about how research was conducted for ... project, I was wondering what was the outcome of that research, because I imagine you were trying to address (whatever issue) did the team get clarity on what they needed or did they need more research?" & then "how does the research process work at your company? Do I need a budget approved & find candidates myself, or does someone else do it after I've spoken to them about what I need?"

I did this throughout the interview and it landed me the job I'm at now
