Are You At Least at Level 4 of UI? 

At level 6 the UI designer turns into a UX designer 😄

Level 6 was UX. When we understand the needs of the user, we create better designs. helpful video

Fun fact: Here in Taiwan Level 2 is all you need for you to get a job at most major corporations, and we barely have anyone close to Level 5. The design industry is horribly miss-developed, so sad.

This is so helpful to see - recently I looked back at a lot of my own projects and realized how boring I thought they were now. Because in the beginning, I wasn't really thinking about user needs or solving problems. I was more focused on trying to get things looking good and well spaced etc. It takes time and studying other products before you really start to think about those things (in my humble experience at least)!

As someone who's stuck designing an app right now this is a great video! It all starting to make sense to me.

That LEVEL 6 is at another level >> user-centric, functional and beautiful 🤩 design, all in one! ☝🏼

Really enjoyed the way you explained things so clearly with great visual examples.

The way you explained..woah..🙌🏻 thanks a lot!!

I did not see that coming. It's truly next-level and one of the best approaches to a standout portfolio 💥

I really love the way how you explain and give different perspectives not only in your courses but also in your videos✌️

Was waiting for it, thanks for sharing, and have an awesome day, Michal 🥰😍💓💞

Awesome video! Love the improved light set up 🔥

Thank you for a free video, Malewicz! Clear, straight to the point with examples and problems, and then how to solve :D

Nicely explained.Thanks sir🎉

Awesome video Michal❤

love your content!

Great video. Do you have a checklist of what makes a good design? I.e. "is there uniform spacing around distinct elements?" or "is the main feature accessible on the home/main screen?"

I personally don't understand why there is no minus in front of the transactions. Since they are not color coded, how are you supposed to know instantly which of them are outgoing or incoming?

the Intro animation was so cool. Hoping to reach level 6 one day ✊🏻.

I have done smth similar. I'm currently building finance tracking app. I have added analytics with charts, monthly spendings, annual, etc with budget limit, monthly comparisons, division into categories, payment methods etc.

Great vid. Thanks

Great video, thanks

It is so well explained and I was surprised to find that I am on maybe lvl 1 or 2 but thanks to you now I can reach lvl 6

I love this video, and even more the into was cool

"This is design, and note just pushing pixels!" Well you got me there. subcribed.

When you said "f**k it" and bleeped it out I laughed so hard :D. I really didn't expect it. My level is between 4 and 5. Maybe more on the 4 side. I get from 1 to 3 interviews per week, but I face another challenge which are long hiring processes and take home assignment tasks. Here is an idea - would you care about making a video on how to tackle home assignment tasks given by interviewers and not get scammed into giving your work for free? I am truly interested in your perspective on: When it's worth to do home assignments? (for instance I usually skip them if company has 100+ applicants because they get 2 times more experienced applicants than I am) When a task is a red flag? Any known or worth a shot ways or methods to bypass them somehow?(once I told hiring managers that I already have some experience and not really into it so they just did portfolio review with me instead of giving me tasks but these are hard to get and maybe there is more to know?) How much time would you recommend spending on these tasks? Perhaps you know some good framework to do task assignments similar to your portfolio course with a sandwitch pdf that would lead to high hiring rates and would require minimum effort? I would pay for that. :D I also noticed that you can do perfect home assignment, better than anyone else and still not get a job (learned that from seeing how my company hires other candidates). Any help around that topic would be amazing. It's something that lots of juniors and higher level designers complain about.

Honest critique on myself.I am currently at level 3 transitioning to level 4, Im currently still in college and learning a lot as I keep practicing. This videos help me a lot as well.

This channel is always useful.

Im not a designer but a fullstack dev, Its funny how i just do it simple and clean, consistent spacing icons and fonts, because its simpler to program and it results in an better design 😂

Thank you for the explanation and escalation of the Levels! Personally, I prefer Level 5 in this case over Level 6. Additionally, the blue primary color does not complement the current button design. Furthermore, I believe there is room for improvement in reducing the excessive focus on the option (:), even up to Level 7.

Firstly the new and improved lighting is amazing 😎 secondly, the journey from 5 to 6 is what every person should aim for, less chaos and more "order" is what makes it stand out 😄 thanks for this in-depth tutorial and your mindset 🫡

I simply don't understand why this channel doesn't have over a million subscribers, huh!

I'm designing a wallet app for pre paid debit cards right now. This gonna help me a lot, thanks!

I was laughing half way through Dude’s putting levels on his design process of a stocks app ☠️ Thx man! Now I know that to be a lvl 6 designer I shouldn’t put a credit card in a stock app’s home page 👍🏽 Out of this world advice! Who would’ve thought to design UI’s based on what the user wants to see and do? 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Hmm, I'd like to believe I'm at level 4 but not quite sure yet. One thing I reflect in pretty much all my designs is going for the 'boring' even after scouring Dribbble for inspiration and seeing ample glassmorphism, mesh gradients, gradient buttons, etc. all over the place because I try to keep mine minimal, clean, simple stupid with form follows function. But eish, no job yet sadly. Currently I'm in the process of scouring for internships that's also required for my final year in college. 😅

Im not a designer, im a frontend dev but i like videos like this.. and well i do like big cards in bank apps lol

Is there a setting for Hierarchy strips in Figma? The Course I took was very Basic [Though you probably already know that from my Daily Challenge uploads. They never mentioned Hierarchy or Auto Layout. I'll be taking your courses on them.

I learn too much! New sub!, tomorrow i will check and change my designs😅.

I guess I am 4 or 5, but definitely have a level 6 mindset 😅

Hello Michal! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, and I personally love this Level Playlist/Guide HAHAHA! It's such a nice way to find where I'm at. By the way, is there a way to contact u and have your feedback? I think that I'm at level 4 or maybe 3 and a half? :p But would be so nice if you could feedback me, since I really wanna start applying for jobs soon.

Actually, I think the background pic if the cards can be replaced because it gives way too much visual noise, what do you think, Malewicz?

Love this series ! I'm a developer but comparing different levels really helps to understand where to improve

I think it would be good if our main action button can be on bottom side so that users can use Or click faster to send Or receive money

I think there should be level 7, 6 doesn't feel the best to me but coming to level 6 is big achievement 🎉

❤

wow wow amazing video, needed this

voice is very great.

I believe Lvl 6 also has some obvious flaws. - Inconsistency on border radius/ general shapes & appeal. - The profile pic radius is inconsistent with the stock brand imagery. Decide for a style limit variations on it (e.g. tab bar vs buttons) - The "More" Button gets too much attention compared to the primary buttons, whereas the details-button on the Transactions Card looses prominence. - The welcome message with the emoji adds little value and instead draws attention. Keep it simple, remove it. - The Tab Bar Accent color is inconsistent, the activity marker adds no benefit, and instead bloats the area. - The floating tab bar is a typical dribbble style, but a) developers will hate you for it, and b) the fog-style 'shadow' just adds more mess to the overall colorful and busy design.

i like level 5 considerably more than 6. level 6 felt like a jumbled mess.

Level 4 with a normal looking bottom bar would be the best

The 14 users clearly reflect that for our designs to be level 6, the UI must be excellent and also adapted to the needs of our users. I guess we are talking about being able to be very well balanced in Product Design.

i thought i was at level 1 or 2 but I am at level 5 surprisingly 😁

How about Level 0? (Clients ideas) 🤓

my head hurts just by looking at the first one

Level 6 reminds me of a saying that goes something like this: 'Embrace practicality, and beauty will naturally ensue'.

wow what an awesome video and the host is so handsome, truly dreamy! ;-)))))))))

Damn I need to work harder on my projects... Even with my current situation and understanding of what I learned from you, I'm not getting anything 😂 no work no money.

As a developer, i can tell you that level 5 is a nightmare to code.

need someone who will teach me web design from scratch to my first job. I pay 1 thousand dollars

Someone bought a vision pro

im level 4 right now lol

Buttons are too big and one can be primary action i.e. Send ... or vice versa!

It always comes down to one thing - less.

I feel like the send/receive buttons are off both for levels 5 and 6. They are all primary buttons (since they use the blue accent color), but you'd usually want only one primary button, with others secondary/greyed out. If you have a number of similarly expected user decisions, use neutral colors for these buttons (like Revolut does, it has a similar screen). This splash of blue in the middle, with three different actions depicted as primary actions, is a bit disturbing on a visual level. Also, the vertical padding is too big, and the rounding is a bit much & not consistent with Notifications button in the upper right corner.

Level 1 was done by somebody that has never needed to code the design 😂

I feel like levels 1-3 all had almost the exact same issues. Too many fonts, poor spacing, poor colors, etc. The video could have just used one example for these issues instead of 3 and wasting time on the same topic.

Level 0 is backend programmers.

Sometimes your voice sounds like Jordan Peterson :))

科學的盡頭是玄學 設計的盡頭是哲學 let me know if you need an translation i’m lazy rn

To be a lvl 6 designer you have to make compromises. You need to develop in many levels at the same time to arrive at the right design decisions that are good for the business and at the same time for the users, but above all, the business. Great video as always! 🫡
