Great video, thanks mate. I like the break down, and seeing you work on the fixes. It is just really helpful to see the contrast between the designs as they are, and your suggestions. There are a lot of more theoretical design videos online already with design principles, so it is good to see you apply them, and get into the fine tuning. All I need is one or two key principles with you working through the fixes. I can then apply these little but important approaches across my designs. So helpful man, thanks!
This was a nice twist on portfolio reviews as most come from the perspective of UX designers. It's funny how everyone hates writing these case studies, no one reads them and yet only UI designers are willing to speak poorly of them. I really wish we could put these behind us.
I think this type of content for us designers is great!! It helps us a lot to observe with real cases what are the possible mistakes we can make!!! very good content!!
Nice walkthrough! Easy watch and some nice pointers. I think seeing live changes is nice, but only if it doesn't slow down the critique or mess with the flow.
Really enjoyed this Matt. Some great suggested improvements making this (already) good portfolio even better. I liked the parts where you went into dev-mode, I would keep it part of the format. I think more designers should be made aware of how things are actually built, making the collaboration with developers better.
Great breakdown, just a quick question, why hsb when It's not supported? There's only hsl() in css. I mean hsb might make more sense to you but again it's not supported.
@@mdsnotavailable HSB is a larger colour space though. And it's not in CSS. You do get what I'm asking right? Are you using it out of habit or is there an advantage I'm not aware of?
@@TheMarouuu HSB isn’t actually a larger color space; it’s just a different representation of the RGB color space that many find more intuitive. You’re correct that CSS doesn’t support HSB directly, but you can easily convert HSB to a format it does support, like RGB or HEX. As for advantages, using HSB can make it easier to understand and manipulate colors in terms of hue, saturation, and brightness, which Ive always found much more intuitive than RGB or HEX values.
@@mdsnotavailable HSB is a larger colour space than HSL. The bottom and top values of Lightness are all blacks and whites in HSL, unlike HSB where every value is a separate colour and you have to go 0 S and 100 B to get white for example. To me personally, HSL is way more intuitive, i know I have the hue, i have the saturation, and then with lightness i can go from black to white on each saturation level. To each his own I guess. The question was is there an obvious advantage of HSB vs HSL I'm not seeing, but it's obviously a personal preference of yours. Thank you for the answers though, I appreciate you taking the time.
@@TheMarouuu You’re right that HSB and HSL handle brightness and lightness differently, but neither is a “larger” color space; they can represent the same range of colors. The choice between the two really comes down to personal preference and specific project needs. Thanks for the discussion!
