How did you do the moving gradient in your hero section? Any keyword I can use to further my research would be helpful. I love the whole feel of the hero section.
I've been stuck between "I'm so lucky to make $90k" and "I hate my job I hate my job I hate my job." I quit last month because of the massive burnout (also at age 26). I've led website redesigns for brands under my company and have been seriously considering UX/UI because it was the only work I enjoyed in my 3 years there. This video could not have come at a better time. Thank you for sharing!
Hey Sarah thanks so much for sharing. Really happy to hear the content has been helpful for you, and even better that you decided to take a risk and make a change. Sounds like a great idea to explore the possibility of UX/UI if you enjoyed it! Follow those small signs :)
First time in a while gaining a realistic view of the ux domain on youtube! UX design is definitely maturing, hopefully so will its content here on youtube for starters like myself, focusing less on the promotion of outdated courses and more on concrete and from-experience professional advice from ux content creators. There are only few creators that embody their professionalism on their videos, and you are definitely one of them!
I'm a designer myself and I made my channel just after I turned 30 last year! it's been a fun place to experiment and video editing has been a really nice skill to learn on top of everything else.
I'm dipping my toes into this, since I'm a graphic designer, would you say that Adobe XD works good as well, or is Figma the leading tool for UX/UI design?
@@leanderangst Thanks for the reply, I started using Figma last night to get a feel for it, seems pretty easy to use. I have a lot of questions about the whole career as itself. Would you say that being self taught is possible in this career choice or is BootCamp absolutely necessary?
Currently suffering from the Sunday scaries lol. Your videos have pushed me to take a leap of faith and bet on myself. Keep up the good work mate! Subscribed :)
one question, I like how you present your case study, but what if recruiter doesn't have time to read all of those text or what if they feel overwhelmed by the wall of texts? thank you
Great question, and often they won’t read it all! That’s why putting in bookmarks that outline the process is helpful. This way they can read some of it, while understanding the full process you used to arrive at your solution. I would say my case studies could be slightly shorter, but then again they’ve worked really well for me. There isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ answer here imo afraid. Try an approach, and gather feedback if it’s not working! Adapt from there 😊
Man that was smooth.... is what i thought while you were presenting the ideas in the videos. Thanks for including the bts of the video hahaha, had a good chuckle. Very useful advice given. Thank you!
I love the tempo of your teachings. I learned myself After Effects and Ps in a couple of months just by watching quick-paced tuts for 10 hours a day :P Now I make mixed media animations in a very specific style and I want to be able to build custom websites (ie a custom portfolio-website for myself) that go along with those type of animations very well. I'm always scared to learn the wrong programs but I have set my eyes on Figma + Webflow for now. The quality of your videos is really high, keep it up and you will grow and land sponsorships and stuff. My favorite Ae-tut channel is called Mapal and I started following him a couple of months ago when he had like 10k subs and he is now sponsored every video (which sometimes is quite annoying tbh :) and at 70k. Keep going, you clearly enjoy making these as much as we are watching.
To give you some ideas: What made that dude Mapal successful was videos of the type: "How to edit like ..." <- Vox/Johnny Harris/Iman Gazdi/etc. I don't know if this type of vid is possible with web/appdesign though.
Great portfolio! I just can't believe how one person can do all that research and design by themselves :D And I just realized I'm only a UI Designer, not a UX Designer. And I can't even share my portfolio publicly because most of them aren't even out yet :(
Hi Leander, this was really insightful! Thank you so much for the video on this and going into a lot of depth on the topic. For my previous career I was a UX/UI Designer for 2 years before going full time with my RU-vid channel back in 2019. I am still running the RU-vid channel full-time currently, but at I am looking into stepping back into the UX/UI world potentially at some point. As a former professional with some experience in UX/UI, how would you recommend getting back into the industry? Would a bootcamp be helpful in sharpening skills and getting back into the job market? Thanks!
You've helped me so much; I can't believe you don't have more subscribers! You're so good at being relatable and funny while simultaneously getting to the point and teaching, which is lovely to have as a beginner. You're amazing; please keep making videos!
nice summary! it took me a long time to learn that your portfolio doesn't need to be "crazy". In fact, the more clean, simple and neutral you keep it, the wider the audience of people it will speak to and not distract from your work. I think especially new designers go into it thinking they have to reinvent the wheel and overthinking a lot of things. It really helped me to just look at some senior designer portfolios and build mine based off what I could see worked well.
You have a new subscriber! 🤍The content and explanations you provide are very refreshing for someone who is just starting out in design. Thank you very much for the tips and tools! Greetings from Mexico 🙏
Wow. How lucky to have stumbled upon this. I have been going through the EXACT same feelings as you when you were in Boston/New York. Thank you for vocalizing what has been tumbling in my brain for a while now.
Hello, good afternoon, I have a question, I am from Colombia and I am studying ux ui and I know a little English but not enough to make video calls with users, would that harm me when it comes to getting clients?
I built it from scratch, took a nice long while so wouldn't necessarily recommend that route. Figma now has an 'import to Webflow' plugin that's worth checking out. OR you can copy an existing Webflow site and us that as a template to save lots of time.
Amazing video as always.... I first learned how to use figma and tried to get myself used to it before hoping into the UX part .... But yeah, wish I had come across your video at that time so I could speed things up for myself because I did all that on my own and it can get pretty frustrating in the beginning
hy sir i am currently leaning UI/UX design and like you told in this video to create effective UI you have to do practice now i am going to practive those but the feeling i am facing these days is if i learn anything it still feels like it is not enough it feel like you are not gonna make it in this field what can i do Now i am learning about typography but still i am confused 😔
