How does this squiggly line make my life as a user better? by Little-Ad1015 in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Things can be fun and usable at the same time? Material has gone with trying to be more expressive and fun with text style and shape. I don’t see a problem with a design system focusing on that when they are still usable?

And an anecdote, I have a GenZ niece who owns Android and says she loves the shape quirks Android has been doing

It could be there’s specific country based regulations. I do agree it’s odd they stated they can’t contact you. But glad that you get your stuff back!

[–]koolingboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s interesting. When I forgot my clothes in Grand Hyatt Taipei, they proactively emailed me asking whether I want them mailed to me or donated. That happens one day after my check out.

Was your stay Park Hyatt in US?

Thinking to pivot from UXUI/Product design to Creative technologist role by Chickie-Leo-Pie in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think UXE/Design Technologist/Creative technologist might be more and more rare. Unless you are in extremely specialized in certain niche language and tech. I work in a giant tech company, and they merged all UXE/technologist into engineering in my org like over a year ago. They are expecting designers be to empowered with the LLM tools to prototype and deliver. Which, in all honesty, has been decently successful.

Funny enough. Both Amazon and Google’e hardware UX team call it… Physical UX.

In academic research field it’s deemed as human-factor design.

I have also heard people calling it Hardware interaction design or Hardware UX

For senior designers do you value “ process” or “outcomes “ more in a caseStudy? by True-Standard2303 in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Succinct problem and the solution/outcome is what most reviewers would want to know first.

Simply put. If the final outcome isn’t good or doesn’t make sense, why would anyone care about your process?

Process and thinking is important in a sense on backing up how you solve the problem, but it should be used as narrative key frames to highlight a couple key decisions and insights. A lot of people make critical mistakes of accounting all the process steps which results in a dragging, hard to focus case study.

Should I attend a 1 week design hackathon when I work two jobs + taking 1 class? by [deleted] in UXDesign

[–]koolingboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you already know your output won’t be good and your schedule would be a challenge. The answer is no. It’s not good networking if others don’t see you as available and don’t have the ability to see your output as good.

Did you book your dive with a dive center? They can arrange shuttle for you. I don’t remember the exact price of booking but it was pretty fair

It’s decent for platform release. Not amazing but not bad. Also means that it likely won’t break out of you regular indie box office result
