I want to understand a designer’s motivations, experiences, inspirations, and anything else that gives context to their work. OGs may recall the headline from the early days: “What are you working on? Dribbble is show and tell for designers.”
We’ve all witnessed an avalanche of AI-powered tools flood the landscape over the last year and a half. At Big Medium, we help complex organizations design at scale and pragmatically adopt new technologies, so naturally we’ve been putting AI tools through their paces in order to uncover opportunities to help people produce better digital products and work better together.
Being part of a company experiencing rapid growth is both gratifying and challenging. This growth, which brings new products, increased user adoption, and a significant boost in revenue, is a direct result of your collective efforts and the value you get to your users.
Progress often hinges on an unexpected email, a tough-love mentor, or a late-night conversation that snaps everything into place. Without community, we’d all be stuck at square one. As our annual Config conference approaches, we’re amplifying the creators, builders, and thinkers shaping our journey—some of whom you’ll find on the agenda. Whether IRL or through a URL, we invite you to make a connection.
In this video, I will cover my Figma file structure and pages organisation. I will walk you through my design process for a branding and app design project, from research through concept to final design and asset export. You will learn how following this design process and organisation method will streamline your design and reduce clutter in your design work.
Without fail, in spring of every year, the discussion around low fidelity vs high fidelity design makes a comeback. Both sides make very good points: low fidelity allows the designers to make more quick, rough sketches and test them more rapidly, therefore it’s higher up the value chain, meanwhile high fidelity is easier to test because it looks like a real interface so when you prototype you can suspend disbelief…
This isn’t just a minor hiccup; it’s a full-blown crisis. It all becomes too real as everyone scrambles, once again trying to meet a deadline that can’t be pushed back because that’s not even an option.
On an impulse in the Getty bookshop this April I picked up a book of essays called Just Enough Design by a designer called Taku Satoh who I confess I had never heard of.
User experience (UX) design must consider the varied needs of all audience members. Accessibility in design matters for those with visual or physical differences. However, one thing designers sometimes fail to consider is neurodiverse people.
With the development of technology and society’s changing needs, the design profession will undergo certain transformations. I am sure that in the coming years, we will witness the emergence of new specialisations in design that combine creativity with the latest technologies.
