This was excellent. I like the part where he mentioned you can learn design by following good tactics and not necessarily design because you're talented.
14:57 Add just a what?!?! Hahaha I had to go back and listen to it again. Amazing talk overall, really considering picking up his book. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it were a physical book.
Awesome as usual! I have to say though - I'm not a fan of that Subscribe input at the bottom. The yellow and white makes it look like a cigarette, and I can't unsee it!
catching up to this just now. really enjoyed this. however, cannot agree with using yellow for a CTA. it's universally a warning selector and a call to halt. tip: use it in accents instead.
Great stuff. In 'Our Best Flights to Toronto table' styling for 'Book now' button seems a bit to close to what users would interpret as disabled state. Is it just me?

I disagree with not using default fonts. They're default because users can easily read them, browsers load them quickly, etc. It's like saying "stop signs are boring, why are they all red"?

Steve Roger that! :) And thanks for the TOC!
Doing the Lord's work...
I love that the Canadian said sorry within 60 seconds of his talk. :) Really awesome talk. Thanks so much.
He makes it look so easy....
I really enjoy Steve's sense of style! Thank you for the great talk.
obviously this is a great talk but also the interviewer came in prepared with great questions, shoutout to the guy
Thank you for this. Even in 2021 it's still one of the best talk for improving my design. From beginner to hero
Good talk. It's not often you hear a designer explain their design rational.
Box shadows
21:10 create depth with box shadows. Larger shadow creates more elevation

This guy's book is crazy good!

I've read the book en it's definitely worth it. Now I'm gonna redesign a project with the book on another screen and work it through
Following steve for a year now, great content and practical tips.
I love his designs.
Fonts are biggest challenge for me. Great insights. Thank you.
Awesome as usual! I have to say though - I'm not a fan of that Subscribe input at the bottom. The yellow and white makes it look like a cigarette, and I can't unsee it!
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EDUCATION!!!
Super interesting, thanks for sharing. Have been on the fence about getting the book but this shoved me over!
Thank you Steve. These small things but have large impact 🙏

I don't understand why videos get uploaded that don't allow watching at x2 speed...
It allows it for me
@@edforrest9826 same for me now. Maybe TH-cam being weird?
@@beauremus I guess so!
We don't even think this is something we can turn off on our side.. :)

Haha did he call him Dave at the very end??
that yellow button with brown fonts failed the contrast ratio test. It only scored 3.86.
Yes but it passes the yellow button itself to the white background plus high contrast is harder to read on the eye
