As a programmer here, in most cases it's not that we don't understand design or we just don't care. It is because we get paid for coding, not for designing. I am sure this amazing work you guys did here didn't happen in two hours, is a lot of work and effort. We as programmers can't spend that much time and dedication since that time and dedication is being spent in the code. Great job with that redesign, the video came up nice too 🙌🙌
As a developer I've started to look into design more so I have a clearer understanding of things like fonts, colors, spacing etc. Figma also have the feature for dev mode and it helps alot to understand design a whole lot better
The most important takeaway from this video for me was the communication and understanding what the client truly wants before you start making any plans for the redesign. There were times when you had to try convincing the client if some things are necessary to help make the app better. Amazing stuff!
Thank you. This is one of the essential things - as sometimes the client isn't fully aware what exactly they need and its our job to get it out of them :)
@@MalewiczHype yes, but this is an example of a real project, how it was implemented step by step, and not a theory based on non-existent examples... it is clear that there are many different ways, and this is one of them
@@MalewiczHype there are many videos where the process is presented partially, sometimes divided into different videos, there is no logic why this is so and not otherwise, something is missed, but here everything is short and clear and the process is sequential
Thank you for sharing all this knowledge and your process that was really informative. I love how you tested the app yourself "in the wild". How long does a project like this take you from the initial stages to completion?
@MalewiczHype Great video! I loved how you walked through the 'almost' entire process 🤩📽. Would you consider doing a similar case study for a website design or redesign? It would be awesome to see how you would approach the project, from research and planning to design and development. Also, could you include tips on how to showcase and deploy this case study on a web design agency's 'Case Study Page'? I think it would be incredibly valuable for those of us looking to enhance our portfolio presentations! Thanks 🙏
We have a couple of projects lined up, including a website for late September case study (a big, complex one) so definitely coming soon. As for showcasing we do it our "unique" way - you can get inspired a bit by that, but I suggest trying your own path. I'm working on written version of these case studies to publish them soon.
Very useful video! What's your recommendation for learning designer-developer handoff? I haven't come across a helpful resource so far. How do you approach the handoff? I understand the need for the designer to know what's possible in terms of code but do we need to learn to code as well for an effective handoff?
We always try and talk to the developers rather early on and define some stuff for them, see their reaction. And then put our foot down about execution quality ;)
Me all along the video ▶⏸▶⏸▶⏸▶⏸ 😅 Thank you for providing this helpful information. The first part of the case study was amazing the flows and information architecture. This video will be a reference for my next project.
What program do you use for workflows? I've been using Figma for a while, but I love Bizagi, it's a shame it's not available for Mac unless you use a VM.
@@MalewiczHype will you upload some content on how to create this micro interactions using these softwares? cause right now it seems like ux designers need to have some experience in motion design
It doesn't fit my workflow. Other tools are better suited to how we work. And there's also some of the ugly stuff around Figma's privacy policy and pricing.
Hi, we currently don't hire interns (or even seniors) as we want to focus on having the smallest possible team (of 4 full time people) as it's less managing required. We don't have the capacity to train new people - sorry.
The tool is called Hype (by Tumult Co) and we used it for a couple years, now are moving towards Rive, but this project was done in 2022/23 so we still used Hype then.
