I'm feeling totally let down by my brothers and sisters who share the passion for design.
You see, they have backstabbed me with button shadows.
We left this trend in 2010, and now they are secretly bringing it back.
One by one, the dominos fall. Too much pressure from the designfluencers to fall in line.
They claim to like the old trends too. What's old is now new, the cycle repeats.
I don't know how to deal with it except cry salty tears 😭
We learned in the 90's that people hate pop-up windows, and now it's standard for sites interrupt your reading with, "Let us fill your email with junk! Sign up here!".
I suspect the "flash" tag will become standard soon.
It’s all about the $
Site operators know people hate pop ups - but they still generate more money.
Hey Karnage. I'm very interested in web design, been working on learning it. You kinda introduced me to the idea.
Don’t. Quit while you can.
Jk.
But really, it can be stressful.
Good luck 🫡
Thanks, was using the framer and webstudio. Building this: https://aboutnostr.com/
Great! keep going!
My best tip for fasting learning would be to copy other pro-looking designs as closely as possible.
Thanks for the encouragement, I am excited about it. What do you think is the best software for learning?
Whatever you are most comfortable with.
Ok, I'm liking Webstudio and Framer. Webstudio let's you have up to 5 free websites upto 10k visits/month and the software is open source.
personally i would not get into code until later. I'd just try to replicate existing designs I loved day in day out. Do like 20 designs at least. Figma is good for that. Learn the tool, learn what makes a good design by replicating it. Only once you know what a good design feels like that you can start developing a style.
everyone's designs always suck because the bar for top notch design is pretty high. There is always someone who is going to put your work to shame, and someone to put their work to shame. Knowing this, you can set aside wondering if your work is good, it's not. Mine is not. You can just focus on the top tier designs by world class designers and see if you can even copy them. This teaches you the most the fastest. The worst thing a designer can do is believe they are good at design.
Ok, thanks. Tried figma but couldn't figure it out.
start small. Draw an app with a circle, some text, some buttons. This is basically the makings of a profile. Then try to find a basic app you can copy and try to replicate it. You'll run into issues but you can google or youtube to see how to fix them.
Sending you hugs 🫂
Neumorphism is the new skeuomorphism.
Designers do not have, like developers, new and imaginative stacks to try out every week and waste time on, so they are all too tempted to catch up on some old schemes.
