I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for this incredibly insightful and valuable content you shared in this video. I really appreciate the depth of information you deliver in each video. Your advices and experiences are truly a guiding light for us to succeed in our UI/UX design career. Thank you Chethan for being such an inspiration and keeping us grounded in reality. Your time and efforts are truly valued.♥️
Your videos are like gold to me. I've learned more from your channel than I have from my entire design education. Your practical approach, combined with your industry experience, makes your content truly invaluable. I eagerly await each new upload. Thank you so much 💫
Another solution can be to quit product design and apply all your knowledge of problem solving to identify product gap in the market and start a business. And I am not just talking about building apps it can be any business online or offline.
Hey Chethan! You were right about the "practicing period" . You've constantly highlighted it on most of your vdos . And you know what? ..I've started practicing the prototyping in figma using variables with ur vdo guide . And thankyou 🙂❤️....I learnt about the Conditional concept on why amd how it works! . Thankyou Chethan
YOUR VIDEO IS SO SO SO HELPFUL! And helped me gain a different perspective about UI UX. Are you going to produce any more videos like the competitive analysis or design patterns? Super looking forward!!!
I have a question for the theatre food app, won't it disturb people or the time when service men are delivering the food to your seat? What's the solution? To have a deadline and only then will food be shared among a specific time to all? It's pretty obvious you can't share food while the movie is on because service men's bodies will be a distraction, so what to do? Should one get it from the cash counter itself due to pre home ticket booking? Or should there be a wheeling table and enough space between two rows for it to deliver food to every seat in the row with some lock that will be unlocked with a qr code on one particular seat number or something... 🤔
I don't usually watch 1 hour videos on TH-cam, this is my first...thx for ur guidance...just have 1 question, how do you manage ur day, so produce high quality content and side by side u manage ur day job as well..any tips for beginners
If someone invites me on a podcast as a guest, I’d love to talk about it 😂. It’s hard to make a presentation on this 😅. But in short it’s building a habit, removing things in your life that is slowing you down, doing things that will get you the freedom and space to think and make your own decisions. Basically lead a low maintenance and minimal life where you have to make quick and simple decisions often.
Hey chethan, How did you scale the images in the airbnb screen? I don't think figma's constraints allows us to scale images like that. Did you use any plugin or something to scale those images by stretching the screens???
To practice problem solving thinking, I practice on the problem statement you gave of split your own bill, can I share that with you? Also, working on that was actually worth rather than designing casual screens.
Does a company REALLY need designers in the long term, or are we just biased as designer? Like IT sector can't run without software devs. Have you asked yourself if you are building a tech startup, will you hire full time designer or just hire freelancer? Can you launch a product build without designer? I am preparing too but back of my mind, I am having these doubt.
Great question. Be the person who really understands how to define the best user experience for a user. No one should be able to do that better than you. Product managers are the only people who come close to us, but they often don’t have the eye for design and attention to detail.
@@DesignPilot Do we become a liability after sometime when everything around product/startup starts settling? Don't you think it is very hard to find another job as a PD due to less number of jobs already in the creative-IT market ( not only during recession) after company announce mass layoff ? Most products these days follow almost same UI structure, why will company hire lots of designers and provide good salary, instead they will buy ready made design templates and few designers for minor changes? does companies give us importance as they give to software developers?
@aj-lan284 Not everything works out of the box. Designers are needed to solve very specific problems. It’s not just about designing the Home Screen or a booking flow or something like that.
@@aj-lan284 @DesignPilot I can confidently say many of us are hungry for more information and guidance (a couple of videos) on specifically these aspects alluded to in this conversation here. 1. What it's like and what it takes to be an indispensable asset to a company in terms of problem solving and designing for a product's continuing expansion and growth, vs the sort of designer that's seen as less useful once the design and experience of core functions has been taken care of. 2. The kind of grittier and more complex (and perhaps future-facing) design problems that companies are willing to seek out and value designers for, in the current era of oversupply of designers who are good at the usual apps and product categories which are now more about minor variations on solved problems and existing patterns (like your everyday eCommerce app). There's a great need for guidance and direction on these areas, given the way the market and industry has been changing over the past year or so.
Hey Chetan! I am an ardent subscriber of your channel and your course. I was wondering, what software did you use to create the images in your mini problem-solving videos? Thanks!
Hello Chethan, When you say consturct screen do you mean that we must construct an existing app screen or can we create our own design?. I struggle to construct a screen from scratch. I sometimes think I don't have the creativity. And how we know the exact height and width of the screens when we construct an existing app.Please I'm very curious about this.
Constructing screen of an existing app is Step 1. After you correctly construct 20-30 screens then you can start to redesign. You can check out my course where I teach you in depth how to do it or you can watch my video on the basics of UI design. Basics of UI Design for Mobile Apps - Artboard Size, Screen Density and Resolution for Beginners th-cam.com/video/viNNYye4qG0/w-d-xo.html
Hi chethan, your videos are really provides great value to the newbies like me! i have a doubt about design system. Does design system only applicable/useful if you are working in a company? I mean shall we build our own design sytem so that we can use it for our own designs. For eg i am applying for lot of ui/ux position. First thing they give is to complete an assignment. So creating components for each project takes lot of time and sometimes i miss the deadline. Hence should we build our own personal design system so that we can use it universally for all our project?
Why didnt u have spacing between status bar, search bar component and top tab bar in ur Airbnb example? This always confuses me, if we put vertical padding in our components then should we add space between components or not?
The status bar, search bar and tabs are a part of 1 single group/entity. I like to follow a system where between the elements in a system, there is no row gap. I want elements to touch each other I like to add gaps only between 2 sections.
@@DesignPilot oh ok What's the minimum tap height do u follow for ur elements? And ur recommendation? Material guidelines says to have 48px minimum but on my Twitter app(Android), the 'follow' button's height differs according to the use cases and it goes way below 48px on some screens
Hey chetan, so about the case study, my question is that I've been in this company for 2+ years & we have shipped a project into the market but for now we are only focused on a specific state & not all over the country since we are closely looking at how our product is performing & based on that we'll take decision of releasing it to others in future. So since the project has been released into the market & we've only released in a specific state, am I allowed/not allowed to showcase it into my case study?
@@DesignPilot When you were explaining Step 1 - 'constructing screen' by giving example of Airbnb app , you mentioned that you have used a plugin to maintain aspect ratio of image used in Airbnb app - which plugin did you use for it ?
Hello Chetan sir I'm a motion graphic designer in a startup for 2 years. I want to move into product design. I thought it was easy to do but my senior shared your npc video with me. I completed your free product design course and am currently working on a personal project for case study. But I am only 12th pass and I'm not a graduate. will it matter to pursue a career in product design..? Please reply me🙏🙏🙏
Being just 12th pass might not matter to get a job, but might affect your overall personal development since you will miss out on a lot of soft skills that you can only get in a college
Can we create a discord or slack group, where we will do exactly what you said in the video, from step 1 to step 4... as a community, everyone will benefit?
@@DesignPilot i have started to wake up at 6 am daily to increase my productivity, thanks to you. I would create a discord server today, with relevant channels...new designers can interact with each other on the server 🔥🔥🔥
in 2017 there were A LOT of senior designers, you just didn't know them. It was your arrogance through ignorance wher you thought it was 'easy, anyone can do it' that made you blind to all the experienced people doing it for years. An analogy is film making, jsut because you watch films doesn't mean it's easy to make a feature film, or any good video for that matter, there are hundred, even thousand of skills to make something that many people WANT to watch... but the hope of 'ease' as in 'how hard can it be, im experienced in USING these things", makes people believe it's much easier than it actually is. Sadly, 95% of digital designers of all disciplines within that are absolute trash but there's always been a role for them somewhere... those people will either have to get better or be replaced with AI or more senior designers with broad skillsets and experience. The biggest problem wannabe designers have is all these bogus courses being sold to them. It's sickening.
There are countless free resources available, but he has put in the effort to compile the most useful ones for us. Let's appreciate his dedication to sharing his industry experience, which helps us navigate the journey to becoming successful product designers without all the struggles. Plus, he’s already made many of his videos available for free. What more could we ask for?
