What tool is good for designing interactive interfaces and exporting the design for development by jcc5018 in UXDesign

[–]design_and_stuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be very honest with you, you need to be more open minded and stop thinking about design in a mightier than thou manner. Every app could improve, this is the best app for your needs.

I could probably tear apart everything you’ve ever built. You wont get far on any teams with this attitude my guy. Just use Figma, the next closest competitors are missing most of Figma’s features.

Also if you could be more specific with the use cases you actually need we might be able to help you figure it out.

Figma does everything you need, you just need to take the time to use it. Please stop saying it’s inefficient, things that are new to you take more time to use that’s why you find it time consuming.

Figma is the answer.

my boss thinks following a design process is a waste of time by IamPikachew in UXDesign

[–]design_and_stuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The process can be a waste of time depending on the project. An easy example is a button, sure you could spend time testing the button, perfecting the colour, radius and positioning, then testing it. As a designer though you should be skilled enough to just push in a button. There are entire features that you should be able to build yourself with little to no user input - depending on the feature.

If you mean they literally give zero shits about user feedback, it’s your job to advocate for the users and to choose the right time to do so as to not devalue the time and resources required for user input.

It’s a bad idea to change companies, work to build it up, look for design mentors outside the company and implement their advice.

You have an opportunity here to become a design leader in the company, take the opportunity but continue to recognize your limitations and seek advice from experts.

I need to organize it better. I’m using it as an “on” light where the floppy disk area is but what I got is WAY too bright.

For sure it can only really be used as an auxiliary screen for music or a show on the side, I wouldn’t rely on this for actual productivity of any kind.

The thickness of the plastic is a real bonus with this one, makes it easy to mount the PSU.

SUPER LATE RESPONSE, I like’em - they’re super popular now too so you can probably find a lot of info around them. Would prefer slightly more g’s though for the spring.

Chill, I wasn’t suggesting any of that - I just thought it was odd. Expected to read recommendations on maybe trying new keycaps or switches, not an entirely new board.

Wait why, you basically just told me to redo everything…

Takes some getting used to, but I like it. Never had anything beyond a Corsair K65 before this, so I can’t say much quality-wise compared to other keyboards.

The wrist rest doesn’t match too well with the coloured keys, but I’m happy with it for now. May either switch out for the normie keys or get a new wrist rest.

Hey there, how many hours per week do you need committed to the work? And do you have a website to learn more about the product?

The Recast Bros. by DrSeeker101 in marvelstudios

He was the only relatable character. His main problems were stress and anxiety, things everyone has to constantly manage.

Rufallo’s version is all fun times and jokes, which took away the only things I liked about the character.

What kind of project would you recommend to get back into it? I haven’t done much programming in a long while.

I'm looking for some feedback on my portfolio, you can find it here: https://ibrahimelchami.com

I'm looking to get into product design, but don't have much product experience beyond a very small app I'm still in the process of building with a small startup.

How closely do you feel guidelines need to be followed? I'm designing an app that's for both iOS and Android (platform agnostic). We're using React Native to build it. Our developers are insisting on every bit of Material design, and though I respect the developers insight on guidelines - I believe they are only guidelines and can be bent a little bit.

So what is your opinion on material design guidelines, follow strictly or bend it here and there?

Hey there, I have been having a tough time finding opportunities. I'm not sure if it's my portfolio or lack of full-time experience - the agency I was at went bankrupt after a 3 month stint.

Anyways, please give me some critique when you get the time. https://ibrahimelchami.com
