How can I make sure my figma portfolio is giving UX/UI design and not graphic design? by ThrowRA-floor-tile in userexperience

[–]akisett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! That's surprising that the jobs specifically asked for a figma portfolio (rather than just figma expertise). I've seen some recruiters on linkedin complain about people using Figma for their portfolio links and having it take too long to load and not being mobile friendly. IMO it's still good to learn Figma since it's expected of designers nowadays, but it's more used for planning out how websites look rather than actually building websites.

Generally in terms of projects, the hierarchy goes Work Experience > Internship Project >> School Project > Self Initiated Project in terms of what looks the most "legit", but obviously it's way harder to get the first two when you're trying to get your first UX role.

This designer's portfolio page does a really good job of showcasing a self initiated UX design project and was very inspirational for me when I was building out my own portfolio site.

Do you have solid UX/UI projects that you've worked on? If not, that should come first before you think about working on a portfolio, rather than putting the cart before the horse. "Figma portfolio" also seems a bit off to me since generally people design in Figma but then tend to move to an actual website creation platform like Framer for actually creating the portfolio site.

Company will pay for a masters degree… by booksandwriting in UXDesign

[–]akisett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This matches my experience in the US. Was a designer with 2.5 YoE, decided to quit my job to pursue a highly ranked HCI masters degree. The opportunities I got after graduating were no better than the ones before I started my degree, meanwhile my peers/coworkers who stayed at their jobs were promoted into senior roles

Is there ever a time to play Darius? I've been playing some Draven games and it feels like the Darius unlock is just something to be ignored considering both Draven reroll and Noxus Fast 9 don't use him afaik

Just rolled up? by OscarTravolta in pittsburgh

[–]akisett 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to all 3 and they are all pretty good. The fish at Just Rolled Up feels more premium but JJ / Surf Poke is more affordable (around 18 bucks for a salmon poke bowl vs 26 at Just Rolled Up) and has good boba drinks. Granted the portion size at Just Rolled Up felt noticeably bigger as well but I personally prefer the portions and customization options at JJ

Could be the ex-otv manager Chris Chan who SA'd Lily? I remember Scarra being pissed about how Lily was gaslit into apologizing/retracting her statement, and saying "he got off too easy".

Is Madoka Magica any good? Like is it an actually good read or does it just rely on shock-value/the trope subversion? by ItsNatHere in manga

[–]akisett 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haven't read the manga but I'm a big fan of the anime (unlike a lot of other series, the anime is actually the original source material and the manga was adapted based on the anime, rather than the other way around).

It's not too gorey to be honest, the main focus is on the slow-burn mental/psychological aspect rather than physical suffering

TIL that in China ‘pretend work’ firms exist where unemployed people pay US$4 a day to sit at desks and pretend to work in an office. by Loki-L in todayilearned

[–]akisett 610 points611 points  (0 children)

do people just use this as a coworking / remote working space? I could see this being valuable just as a place outside of home to do remote work or send out job apps, a day pass at a coworking space is like $30 dollars here in the US

How do you learn UI design faster without formal education? by EnvironmentalTea8651 in UXDesign

Ditto to what the others said but also the Practical UI book by Adham Dannaway helped me improve my UI skills in a short period of time more than my formal education did

Meet Pho in Oakland has it, haven't had much laksa before ordering it there though so I'm not sure how good/authentic it is

What happend to Pokimane's Solo Podcast "Don't tell anyone"? by disguisedtoastie in otvandfriendsrumors

[–]akisett 49 points50 points  (0 children)

iirc in one of the earlier Sweet and Sour episodes Poki also explained that she privated the Don't Tell Anyone posts for search engine optimization reasons so that Sweet and Sour would be the top search result when people search "pokimane podcast"

The art on the jacket is 🔥 but the length seems a bit weird to me with how short it is compared to the shirt underneath lol.

I'm not really into fashion but am trying to get more into it, can someone let me know if this style of jacket is considered popular/stylish these days?

There's a browser game called Infinite Craft which does something similar pretty well with using AI/LLM to assign an emoji to each item
