I Redesigned Popular Websites (Rotten Tomatoes & Craigslist) 

Hahaha

I understand how you feel, but I think it's a personal/team choice. I personally really like these simplistic (how you call it: Google) designs :) UI/UX is never an exact science though :)

I kinda agree, but I don't see a problem with it. I feel that these kinds of design make an app (or website) look more professional and serious, which is what I personally like and makes me feel secure and sure when entering an app. Also, this is probably the safest way to do a redesign, since adding even a little more color than he already did can veary easily make the whole thing look bad, so it's really hard to balance out more than 2 or 3 colors.

He's actually using a WYSIWYG to do this, and has fun posting his take of other Websites on RU-vid. Hence those evidences you mention. They're due to the limitations of the tool itself, _and_ a personal taste which doesn't necessarily follow guidelines from experienced professionals well aware of other factors than mere looks: ergonomics and the ability to create "behavioral retention" along client's specific color/design chart and content... ONE example : most of his "corrections" involve dark UI/Background, which is the worst for any Website offering more than mere images or pictures (reading clear text on dark background, like white on black, strains the eyes as it has harmful and chronic effects in the long run) ; nobody creates an eCommerce catalog with dark background, for a good reason (unless it'd be for trading visual Art, but not those pages having forms to fill or text to read like policies, warranties etc.) : they don't want their potential clients to leave too soon, nor to cripple their comfort/user experience by potentially straining their eyes... In short, don't be fooled by con artists ;-)

(Less color && whitespace) === awesome design

@@HawkFest Do you know what WYSIWYG software he may use? i would also like to try and create something

Thank you so much for the kind words!

@@Hyperplexed could you please stop oversimplifying everything and sucking the soul out of websites, mate?

Thanks so much! Yeah so I just use html and css to redesign them from scratch and then when Im editing the videos Im actually overlaying screenshots on top of each other haha probably a more efficient way to do it 😆.

@@Hyperplexed It looks really smooth and satisfying! As a side question, may I ask why don't you try and make more attention grabbing titles? Like for example "I IMPROVED the design of these famous websites! Here is how!" Or somethig like that? I'm no expert at this but the current title isn't as attention grabbing. Your contet is amazing and I would love for you to get the attention you deserve!

Great point! I went back and forth so many times on the title/thumbnail and you're right, they didn't end up in a very good spot haha. I went ahead and updated them, hopefully a bit better now 😄

do you have any other dev channels you can recommend?

@@EditingOnPluto Fireship is pretty cool.

;)

Yes 100% agreed

Hello fellow genderless human :)

Sounds like a jacksfilms quote

Yes

As a UX designer this channel is good and bad at the same time. He's taking elements from inspirations which is good, but he's lacking the amount of analysis of understanding why the UI was designed in its way (UX). For example, the listing card on Craigslist was made to look nicer but removed the feature to swipe left/right to see the next image making the user to click on the ad instead of just browsing. Instead he redesigned to a card he finds to look pretty and flashy. He should've used a design similar to Instagram instead, which allows him a possibility to further add a share icon for users to quickly share the listing if it catches their eye in the initial browsing.
