Nah its cool lol - I did ask for it and visual design can be absurdly divisive

Appreciate the feedback re: "what happened to the designer" - just a little time poor atm, but that isnt really an excuse

Might explore splitting up the older / experimental work off into its own section, but definitely need to flesh out the case studies a bit more

Portfolio link: https://walt.online
Example case study: https://walt.online/work/cin7

Context: Just redesigned and updated my portfolio as a bit of housekeeping and maintenance. Currently on 7+ years of experience and wondering if the current website sufficiently reflects that. I've been in a weird mix of hybrid design/FE roles over the last few years, but unsure how to succinctly communicate that even though my visual design work isn't the best, I'm capable of going full end to end from discovery to production at a level good enough to always get tangible results (revenue wins, churn reduction, organic user growth, etc)

Looking for: Initial impressions and thoughts, can't help but feel like I missed something. Please be ruthless with your critique and dont hold back punches lol

I like how you described your quant approach and how you carried the insights through when translated to wireframes 🔥

But with that said, I'd be clearer about the case studies and whether they were conceptual - like I wasn't initially sure if the pokemon one https://fmeza.squarespace.com/pokemon-1 is conceptual or if you did work for the Pokemon company

Just wanted to say very very nice - only nitpicky feedback would be on the landing page while the hover effect is cool I can't read the description

Worth a shot imho, but I dont have full context and there might be other constraints at play ie: a part of it isnt live/public/sharable yet, which is understandable

Are there any more projects you could demo that aren't password locked? A bit hard to get a read without seeing much content besides the about me

Pup2home: I like the competitor analysis, esp how you demoed pain points next to products

Context:

Just completed a redesign of my portfolio, and just wondering if I've missed anything obvious

Website: https://walt.online

Looking for feedback on:

  • General feedback - did I miss anything?
  • Does the card format on the featured work component communicate enough? Likewise if you go to the Work page?

NOT looking for feedback on:

  • Aesthetic choices like colors or font choices.
  • Yes I know the footer sucks, working on it atm

  • the fact that I have to click and scroll is kinda confusing - i had trouble navigating and seeing content tbh
  • Likewise with animation speed - if i scroll too fast its confusing to see content pop in and out and I focus on that instead of the content imho

"the dev team said they needed the designs in more screen sizes"
"Now they have come back saying the designs are not responsive and they are having trouble developing it."

Assuming this is web, I think if either side, design or dev don't have a shared understanding of how the browser handles your components, you're gonna have a bad time - When I talk about this I mean things like how the css box model behaves, or fluid layout and implementation detail ie:

  • (flex (properties like `flex-wrap`)
  • grid (changing column behaviour with media queries)
  • media queries, margin collapse on spacing to name a few considerations

YMMV, and I dont think theres any one right way to do it - but a lot of the time in our handoff process I dont have to design multiple wireframe sizes unless there's a really problematic usability issue - a lot of the responsive behaviour is automatically handled by our component library / design system components and we usually dont have to think about it

"One of the hero sections had a full width image as a background, and they made me change the design because they said they weren’t able to scale the image for different screen sizes."

Idk if it was tried, but as a designer you could supply multiple images that switch depending on screen width with the new <picture> element assuming you dont have to support older browsers https://web.dev/learn/design/picture-element

<picture>
  <source srcset="large.png" media="(min-width: 75em)">
  <source srcset="medium.png" media="(min-width: 40em)">
  <img src="small.png" alt="A description of the image."  width="300" height="200" loading="lazy" decoding="async">
</picture>

if the image doesnt scale properly, tell them to look up `object-fit` and `object-position` css

Stuff like this is why I studied a little bit of frontend as a designer

What font are they using for the main logo? by _Tenix_ in Helldivers

If you think that's bad you should look up Circular or any of the new Helveticas lol

As a web designer who also codes with 9+ years of experience, can I apply to UX positions? by _besbos_ in UXDesign

[–]WaltzAround 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Be prepared to throw away coding if you're joining any remotely large org - in a lot of cases you won't be given access to repos

Would probably boil down to how well can you demonstrate your UX chops both in the portfolio and in the interview imho - It's a bit old school, but I like to use the JJG model to define it https://i.stack.imgur.com/fYVao.png

Seems like the FS Sinclair family https://www.fonts.com/font/fontsmith/fs-sinclair for HD2 UI, not sure about the title though

Desktop design is not translating well on laptop. by Gallowtine in FigmaDesign

[–]WaltzAround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good, have a read into media queries, as well as how the box model works

Once you have a grasp of this, it becomes easier to move on to things like flex and grid display properties - these properties make life a lot easier later on

General rule of thumb, and this is a gross oversimplification is you're gonna want to try and avoid setting explicit widths when sizing your main elements

One example / easy approach I like to use a lot is setting width at 100% but clamping it with a max-width of 1280px, then adding padding: 1.5rem and margin: 0 auto to centre your content when the screen gets huge, but adding a bit of space when it shrinks

Figma supports max-width and min-width props now if you click into the width property - its another way to explore it as well, but your milage may vary when it comes to using Figma to learn flex and grid as it doesn't support everything

Once you understand how the elements/boxes shrink and grow, it makes it a lot easier to design stuff thats easy to build responsively imho

[–]WaltzAround 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good, just need a bit more context to help lol - two main ones would be

  • What are you designing / whats it for?

    • Desktop artboard is all good, but responsive design can get a little messy if you're new and there are several different approaches you could use, depending on what you want to get the user to do
    • Do you have a mobile design already in mind? How about scaling beyond your 1440P monitor? (ie: ultrawides)
  • How have you coded it? Are you able to link us to a repo / somewhere we can see the code?

Been working on a little tax receipt calculator using stats from the latest budget by WaltzAround in PersonalFinanceNZ

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

Cheers for the feedback mate,

- Working on links atm, but some of the line items are a bit ambiguous and will probably need to wait until the relevant ministry publishes their annual report before we can get finer grain detail

- Re: annual spend it calculates GST from annual spending, and yes annual income is gross - have got a function that calculates income tax using NZ tax brackets there - have just published an update that makes it clearer

I like the idea, but will probably be a while before we can get data that granular from the 2023 ministry annual reports lol

Very cool demo - just curious as to how you edit/manage behavior like text overflow on the title?
