There are no tools I know of. The best thing I'd do is to first make screenshots of each frame, then I'd recreate them, then I would try to animate the interaction similar that they have, and I'd ask a mentor how to improve that and why it's not matching the original ;)

@@inesmir thank you so much. So I think I'm doing the practices partially right. I should get more feedback from other designers and mentors. Sometimes I doubt if I do a practice in a useful and correct way. Thank you for replying to me 🙏🏻🙂

sure, what do you need to upskill?

sorry I didn't get your question, what do you want to start on TH-cam?

But kudos, you made it to the job, that's what's important!

sad truth :(

I agree, I basically only had a role like that once myself and I found it through a friend (but I wasn't working there for long tho, the team was too relax working from Cyprus :D)

@@inesmir forgive me if I ask, your role was it a good experience? Or you just left because it's not

well, it will get better, but it will not make you rich rich

Problems of the rich😂😂😂I just want to achieve 12k$ so that I can get the German study visa to continue my education and get a bachelor's degree

You can do it!

Glad it was helpful!

Just basic check of the documents I guess :)

Great idea, I will look into that!

@@inesmir Thanks

Do more fake projects for the start

@@inesmir ok

You are on the right path!

LinkedIn and Indeed are still the best

@@inesmir Thanks really appreciate

If I understand you correctly you are asking about the best UI practices, then I'd suggest starting with dribbble.com where you can see the required bar of UX design. When it comes to UX best practices, the best way is to study the popular apps and the patterns you have on your phone. There is also a website mobbin.com that allows you to see the parts of the screen you normally won't have access to (e.g. onboarding). So you can start there :) In terms of finding new tools - follow creators you like and check what they recommend :) I recommend a lot of tools on my Instagram (@ines.ux) so you can explore them, too.

If I understand your question, you are asking how to improve UX when it's covered by more senior colleagues. Then, if you have those collegues, it's great when you learn from them what they do in the beginning. In addition, you can attend UX bootcamps or UX hackathons, but make sure they are solving the projects that make business sense. The best way to understand it is to see the projects from alumni and to assess yourself if that's something you'd use. An immediate bad sign is when a project for an 'abstract' app is. Like A dog walking app, A fitness app. It should be rather formulated like 'the new feature for Nike Run app'. This way, you can assess yourself if the feature makes sense and if you'd use it.

Hi there, yes, it's already in my content plan! 🥳

Well, as I said, for me having paid for learning is not an exploitation. It's a fantastic deal. If you decide to become a doctor, for example, you would have to pay forward for your education for 7-10 years until you start earning at least some money (often way smaller than UX designers at the beginning). So, having an opportunity to get paid after 6 months of a part-time bootcamp is a bargain, really. If you know other professions that will allow you to do that faster - by no means choose that profession :) I only shared what I would do if I had to find a job now. And I wholeheartedly did that at the beginning of my career; I was humble and eager to work and learn. I would do so now without any doubts. I see the same patterns in people I teach/hire now, and those people are able to land jobs. You are free to hunt big tech companies with big design teams and bigger pay, but I wouldn't bet on it myself cause I knew that I couldn't bring much to the table yet. I understand the wish to have fair pay from day 1, but you need to ensure you bring a fair amount of skill at good quality then. Unfortunately, it's not always the case. Juniors produce low-quality visuals, mix research methods and waste time and money, work slower, make mistakes, and are not literate in coding which prolongs the development. For all those development areas, you will receive a proportionate discount on your pay in the job market. But indeed, if you are alone in the team, that might hinder your growth, but only if you fail to learn from the broader community or find a mentor. In the current information overload and available free mentorship services, that is almost never an issue if you are proactive. I wouldn't consider it to be an issue at all. Overall I really see only 2 options to enter the design market: A) you invest properly in a long and thorough education, reduce those development areas to 0 and receive fair pay at the market. I couldn't do that when I was young cuz education is often expensive, and I needed money. B) you get some education that is probably too fast but affordable or go self-taught, and you continue learning while working on clients you can obtain, ensuring you raise your bar with external mentorship and courses if needed. I've never seen any tricks and shortcuts. Only in a hotter market would those paths take less time. But we live in the time we are given. What to choose is up to everyone individually.

​@@inesmir thank you for explaining beautifully. This shows how much you are strong in understanding people's situations and the UX profession.

Thank you! Will do!

increase the speed ...1.5X its good

well, this person is not a trained TH-camr, it's a real junior designer. And it's how it feels to be on an interviewer's side.

She is very nervous totally uds her situation. Gonna have to practice whiteboard challenge more. I gonna have my first interview as UX/UI intern for my portfolio, they have 2 rounds of interviews. Probably is a whiteboard challenge for the second one.

Yes, the problem is that they sell bootcamps aggressively, and many people buy into the myth that UX is easy, and then they find out.. well, it's a job and no job is ideal

Couldn't agree more with the constant change and flux!

They won't have a team, no. But you can have free mentorship aside, and there is a redundancy of available learning materials for guidance. So, finding a way to learn and raise the bar of your craft has never been easier when you are proactive. And it's also obviously not true that small companies don't care about UX design. Anyway I said this is what I'd do. That worked for me, I had very good relationships within my first jobs in small companies. We were like a family and we grew together a lot. You can keep hunting big companies of course :)

Figma for the start. I do almost everything there now. When I reach the abilities of this tool (usually for showcases and 3D), I go to After Effects.

I totally agree with that. Small companies are not having UX designers. I know plenty of big tech corporations who doesn't have even 1 UX designer...

I've never seen any tricks and shortcuts to these paths. Only in a hotter market would those paths take less time. I was not privileged at all. At my first in-house design job, I was earning money that couldn't pay me for rent. So I had to live with roommates and also do some side hustles at night, and find freelance to sustain my living. And well, yeah, that was hard and felt unfair. But I had to get by. And I would do so again if I needed to. For me, it's better than sitting and waiting without any job and growth until a big tech company hires me for a big design team with fair pay. But anyway, I spoke about what I'd do if I had to find a job now, you can choose another path :)

I am happy to hear that! Will continue for sure!

For me the best projects to work on are the projects for real companies, so yes you will have to work within their design systems. And also, if you wish to work in-house in a tech company, that's also 99,9% of the work that you will do - working within design systems on some features. Working without design systems (or rather with creating one yourself) is a good exercise for elevating your UI skills, and it's more necessary if you plan to work in agencies. Hope I answered the question.
