My typical design process:
1. Make something decent looking
2. Realize you have to add a bunch more stuff to it
3. Re-do the whole thing accommodating that other stuff
4. Realize it's getting ugly
5. Try to make it nice again
6. Realize there's a lot more stuff to add
7. Try to add that stuff without butchering the overall design system
And finding out the original design to be the best on you've made. 🥲
That’s never the case for me. V2 and beyond puts v1 to shame
Maybe my approach is different.
Most of the time when I add something on a design, is for adding features, those might not be included in the prototype, therefore not necessarily needed even after the prototype is done if I take it to another direction.
Maybe a realistic example could help see the difference. 🤔
Put it all in "Advanced Settings"
Rinse and repeat:
