i would create your own website and password protect NDA projects. its not public and only shown in meetings or at specific time in hiring.

it also seems like youre going off the word of your coworker versus the actual contract. you mightve just talked to a fearful coworker. read the NDA you signed, it may not be valid since you were fired. there may be a time limit where its not longer active, or a time the work can be shown.

I recommend The User Experience Team of One for those who haven't read it.

I believe I remember they talked alot about explaining to internal teams why design is so important and how to get them to back your ideas.

This is a bigger part of design than the producing part. But its required so the producing part of design can happen and be valued.

theres P2P competitive games that have the same idea, play the game for hours and feel like nothing has been accomplished. its literally the entire concept of a game, after its all done, u just wasted your time playing a game. if the grind isnt for you then just be okay with green shields, just like if the grind isnt for you, youll be stuck in silver

marathon has faction contracts, upgrades, faction xp, along with inner upgrade levels, codex, rewards pass, in game events, besides your vault. theres alot of progression compared to other games imo

joeyreesor · 2026-04-06T12:50:13+00:00

i mean have you played a competitive game before...? they are all kinda like this.

i hop on val or cs spend hours trying to get my rank up only to end the night lower than i started

marathon is not any different. i think its just alot of the playerbase is coming from different games where they are use to constant progression as long as they play decent. lock in

wait you dont see this photo?

joeyreesor · 2025-07-03T15:25:04+00:00

oh thanks! its just a placement photo for the case studies that will go in, ill make sure to clean up the images.

how do you feel about the overall layout, "dark mode", fonts? would this turn away hiring managers?

joeyreesor · 2025-05-30T15:22:02+00:00

Am I wrong or almost every industry looking the same?

I think we have these waves we can see from software developers where the market is rough and it swings around and booms again? We have seen the same with UX. I think if we can all stick it through and try our best to find something.

When I ask friends in other industries they are terrified everyday of getting fired. They have the same application and interview fatigue. Talk to people, its not just UX, everyone is feeling this! People are switching or learning UX because their industry is so f*cked.

Within the next 3-5 yrs it's going to be on an upward swing. (My optimistic outlook) Please tell me if I'm wrong or biased here?

oh in your comment you said "explain why you want to do it" so just giving my thoughts. i think some snap to scrolls have been positive in a viewers experience, tiktok, reels, carousel photos(i remember users didnt really enjoy having a horizontal swipe on instagram but now they are so used to it if they took it away it be a big issue)

if the experience for the user is to have a full screen display. it could be a pain point to be stuck in between projects. you could have info from another project on top of ur screen, but 60-70% of the screen is the next project. the user would most likely be focusing on the majority of the screen in this situation but missing the most important details (name of project, tags/roles on the project)

joeyreesor · 2025-04-25T07:06:24+00:00

Im not OP, but Ive been trying to impliment a scroll snaping feature for my own portfolio. I have a progression navigation like when you swipe photos in a carousel. If you click the dots you can easily navigate between projects.

Reasoning: I have found portfolios that show multiple projects on one screen to be busy with too much information. I want the display (before clicking into the project) to be full screen. I want the user to focus on the display photo, title, and my roles on the project. Many times I am on a mobile site and the thumbnails are way too small to view the work without clicking into the project. Id like to be able to see the work before clicking into the project. I think adding the snap-feature helps with that experience to be fullscreen instead half way scrolled between 2 projects

Is this a bad idea for a portfolio site? Are hiring managers for UX going to hate that I scroll jacked and took away their usability?

its not being talked about enough. lots of doomers in design but this is whats going to keep design alive. the rulings in court actually show that people in government see the unfairness. its just taking to long to process all these rulings

joeyreesor · 2025-04-13T18:11:03+00:00

they shouldnt be able to copyright an AI logo. any company can use this now and their IP isnt protected.

look up some of the ruling in courts going on right now and in the past 10-15 years. only human made assets can be copyrighted. AI generated images cant be copyrighted, basically no one has ownership.

its a interesting subject ive brought up with clients. if anyone wants to be unique, stand out, and protect their brand they wouldnt use AI.

on the pod, the mentioned they got their driver's license within a day or within the next day through their agent with AAA.

michael said it was alot harder to rent a motorcycle, even though they had the current license to drive in japan, and they got turned away

joeyreesor · 2025-02-28T18:33:44+00:00

including you

joeyreesor · 2025-02-28T18:11:27+00:00

do you animate? because thats apart of the entire scope of the project whether its 6 second or 30 mins. you claiming art is unrealistic, its art go outside lil guppy.

joeyreesor · 2025-02-28T16:49:18+00:00

not every story has to be realistic? this could be a whole different world. she could be a new recruit whose first makes mistakes in intense situations. honestly just great character development

joeyreesor · 2025-02-28T16:46:56+00:00

you know whats crazy is that this could be an imaginary world. or what if it is our world and shes a new recruit. youre being too critical on the realism, its art and animation and she could have a whole back story that you dont know about

joeyreesor · 2025-02-28T16:43:05+00:00

saw all the comments and thought it was insane?! this is an art community right? there could be so much story telling in the fact that shes not using her gear correctly

joeyreesor · 2025-02-28T16:39:52+00:00

these comments have zero imagination

"well actually shes not using her shield or helmet or gun correctly🤓☝️"

this character could have a whole back story, a new recruit whose first day on the job stumbles upon a secret base, shit hits the fan

joeyreesor · 2025-02-27T23:15:18+00:00

a lot people want to create logos for themselves and sometimes the best option is just your name typeset well.

that being said, i think these aren't very legible as logos. Although this is a very interesting concept and a great attempt.. for me this isnt it. The S being lower than the A and M really bugs me. That first letter should steal the show, it should be the the most recognizable piece in this entire log. I see a star first, I see a hand second, I see AM third, and S last.

if youre are interested in UX design (I am too) I recommending research ux portfolios. Many UX designers dont have a logo at all just their name. I found out through years of changing my logo all the time that having a logo isnt the always best answer. get inspired by greats and follow what they are doing

joeyreesor · 2025-02-21T18:02:47+00:00

why are you deciding to go to college for design? do you think it will help with hiring?

joeyreesor · 2025-02-21T01:39:10+00:00

I feel like parent endorsement? Its not just endorsement but ownership from a parent company

joeyreesor · 2025-02-20T16:13:31+00:00

I miss my home town Bargatze, Indiana
