Thank you for your detailed explanation of common UI and UX mistakes. Your practical advice is truly helpful. Could you elaborate on how to strike the right balance between providing enough information to build trust with users without overwhelming them during the onboarding process? 🤝
Balancing the amount of information provided during the onboarding process to build trust with users without overwhelming them is crucial for a positive user experience. The key should be, Ensuring that your onboarding process is accessible to users with disabilities. Provide alternative formats for information, such as text transcripts for audio content or keyboard navigation for interactive elements.
Love your videos, I'm taking notes with each one. I was thinking I should design an entire app or website, but instead I'm gonna take your advice and only design one user flow
out of all the youtube videos on UX design I have seen in past 2 months, yours is the only one I felt "No Rubbish, Perfectly on Topic" content. Its such a soothing and confidence boosting experience to watch your content. Thanks Aliena 😊👍 I have also pre signup for your figma course. Waiting for the slots to be open. Cheers to true learning🥂
🤣🤣🤣 Many of these points make so much sense from a user perspective but for some reason when we swap to the design mode it’s so likely to make these mistakes! Glad the video was helpful 👍👍👍
It's So Nice, That I Came To Know About You. And You Just Gave A Small But Quite Useful Infor For Me. As Am Gonna Be The Graduate Of The Google UI UX Certificate Soon ...This Will Help Me Out. Thanks And Am Gonna Start Something Amazing Within Few Weeks ....And Would Really Like To Be In Touch With You. Once Again Thanks For The Info And I Encourage You To Create Such Stuff.
When I look at Google MD and Apple's HIG, they seem to recommend 16+ and 17+, respectively, for the base body font size? Am I misunderstanding something?
Your video is informative and understandable. I found out your whiteboard challenge. ✌️. I have some query could you like to help me? How can I reach oit? Thanks
✌️Hi Aliena... Hope you are doing well... this was sooo informative... thanks for pointing out these mistakes for us.. Hope you surely bring part two..❤
I am so glad I have found your channel! I am currently on module 3 in my Google UX certificate and have built my sisters website in webflow and I know I need this because I want to completely rebuild my sisters website from scratch.
That was an awesome video Aliena can you please make a video with a personal journey for a project about challenges you faced and how you managed to get things done
Exactly!! I made the first 2 UI mistakes in my first project, the mockups looked nothing like the designs on dribble. Very helpful advice for UX beginners.
Hi Ms. Cai!! thank you for the awesome videos, it's really helping me a lot. I was wondering, if I share a recent UI design with you, would you please make review of that?
Thank you for your anazing videos Aliena, I have 2 questions - must you write case study for a project? Especially if you didn't have to do interviews and what not. Secondly, how do you present a project such as a landing page in your portfolio?
Thanks Aliena for all this advice. i had a question, would you recommand that a fitness app /tracker should be an app or a webapp . based on what you said i hear webapp, but fitness apps are used more than onces most of the time
Hy Aliena, As a newbie designer I tend to design all my components like button inputs etc from scratch for every project not that I was not aware of design system Just did not have idea how should I use them I saw one of your video and tried to follow it. it worked however I started facing issues when it came down to apply a brand identity as pretty much all the design systems come with their own brand identity and if we want to apply our brand identity (Just to clarify m just talking about colors here) it becomes quite challenging as design systems comes with dozens of variations and shades of each color detaching a component does not help as we will loose the whole functionality of it. The design system used in one of your video was quite simple but when it comes to larger systems like Material UI it is super challenging as a newbie as we do not know the optimized way to change colors the 2nd problem I encounter was the given components are not a good fit for a project and ofc we cannot change instance so in order to make those components fit either we need to change the original component or create a new one from scratch as we want to keep all the states attached to it states as in effects (e.g Hover animation, click, Tapped etc ) If you have some time plz make an elaborated video about this particular thing how we can modify the design system to our liking without breaking it. Thank you Love your content
You had some really valid points. From what I'm hearing, you are working on projects where you are the solo designer who's in charge of both the branding, UI, and UX. Keep in mind that most products out there have an entire team out there designing the design system. In your case, I would either 1. Focus on the product and UX and make as little design system adjustment as possible. 2. If the branding becomes very important to the business, (in the sense that it's going to drive more revenue than getting the design done), I'd create a design system from scratch by one self and gradually expand the system as components grow.
