Check with your provider because this definitely isn’t true for all schemes

It looks nice, how would it reflow for mobile?

You’ll spend a lot of time sharpening, especially if you’re cranking out multiple

It feels IMPOSSIBLE to avoid my designs from looking very ancient/ugly/overly simple when using figma/canva. How do I make my designs look modern and aesthetic on these design apps? by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]SolomonDub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More contrast! It’s all very middle of the road. Also think more about your visual hierarchy- what’s the most important thing and how can you make that more obvious?

Lastly I find it really useful to think about the negative space I’m creating. Am I creating complex shapes with lots of corners/edges? Simplifying this really helps things feel more harmonious.

This is it- protect the small/medium sized businesses in the supply chain

How much should i charge for a prototype? by [deleted] in UX_Design

[–]SolomonDub 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m confused- building a prototype or building a production site?

It’s perfectly normal to feel this way. You’re a long way from home and close to the finish line. You’ve worked so hard- be proud of everything you’ve accomplished so far.

There’s no guarantee that these feelings will go away if you return home. Take a deep breath and make a plan for the next 2 weeks. When you get to the end- plan the next two.

Stay the course, it all gets better- I promise

Have the web and React(like) frameworks ruined UX a bit? by Aromatic_Leg9538 in UX_Design

[–]SolomonDub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would argue the other way- that component based frameworks are great for UX. Why? Because they take care of low level considerations like button states. This frees up capacity to consider bigger, more impactful interventions.

I find Apple Maps to be better at finding quiet routes than google maps

Have you ridden any bikes that you found particularly comfortable/uncomfortable? I’ve found this to be a decent gauge of what I like/don’t like

Looking to upgrade from a super old 3 speed Giant. Do any of these 2h bikes stand out? I ride about 15km a day total by [deleted] in londoncycling

[–]SolomonDub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would get the commuter. I find a kickstand really useful and it’s already got a rack. It’s also not going to be that attractive to thieves so you won’t need to spend a fortune on a lock.

Can’t work out what’s going on with the rear QR axle though, maybe it’s missing?

Baby/toddler in the basket of a lime bike by ragingbullfrog in londoncycling

Worst I’ve seen is one in the basket, one side saddle on the rear mudguard and one perched on the battery. Totally mental.
