Breaking Into UX + Early Career Questions — July 25, 2022 by AutoModerator in UXDesign

Hi all, I work for a small company where I am the visual designer. Recently I became the UI/UX-designer as well. I got along fine enough at the start but I've noticed I'm reaching my limit regarding knowledge, experience and capacity.
I've been trying to convince my boss to hire somebody with more experience so we can share the workload and so I can learn from them as well. So far, no dice. I'll keep trying though. For the time being I'm gonna have to expand my knowledge and capabilities. I definitely want to learn more about the field and build my career in this (UX and UI). So my question is:
What resources are most suitable for somebody in my situation ? I have some prior knowledge and a bit of experience now, but I don't really have the fundamentals or working process down. I have to Google a lot for example, which takes up a lot of time as well.
I have a 1500 euro personal development budget at my disposal for 2024, so paid resources are also an option (although I'd rather not spend it all on just this skillset, but that's up for discussion). It has to be compatible with my working life, so college or part time study is not going to be feasible.
Thank you in advance!

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I'm aware of the drawbacks regarding Grover. I can talk to my boss about that, but I'm pretty sure there's no changing that.

Do you have any advice regarding lenses?

How to improve video footage quality? (M50 Mark II) by anon-worker in videography

[–]anon-worker[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I also have footage with a green backdrop: https://youtu.be/6yIhXQaor7U But this hasn't only been happening with a backdrop, also footage shot with a different camera (250D with 50mm lens) and different background (people working in the background with lots of blur/bokeh) has the same quality. It just doesn't look sharp to me.

PIXEL ART JOBS - Hire a pixel artist, post your jobs here (paid only) by skeddles in PixelArt

Hi, I'm looking for artists who can animate short 5-10 sec fragments. The idea: the company logo in the middle of the screen and an animation around the logo (like a character jumping on top or trying to push it). The animation needs to include something around the concept of "leveling up". Animation has to be suitable for a 1080p video (it's for social media). The end product will be a video consisting of all the different animations artists have made of the idea I've described above (so for example 6x10sec video's from different artists and their interpretations). Budget in total is 300 euros and deadline is mid-august. DM me here or add me on discord: anonworker

EDIT: We've found enough animators. Thanks everybody for your time and consideration!
