    Trying something different this week! But...I think the music is too loud. Will make sure this is improved in the next video!

    Many thanks Marc, those 5 UI design insights were really useful and precious to keep while designing an effective and valuable product.

    Really cool video, these tips could also work on YT shorts as bite-sized pieces of advice.
    Also like the coverage of resources and thought processes that may not usually be covered in depth in a redesign vid.

      Oooh, could definitely package some of these as shorts. Appreciate the kind words 🙏

    I woke up this a.m. to discover TH-cam has changed the format back to comments on the side/HUGE video thumbnails below the video. I was so sure it was just an experiment and I wouldn't have to deal with it again, and now this. I don't even know if anyone else is having this. It just happened. So I have to guess this is permanent, and I'll be struggling with format from this time forward. I know this is off-topic, but there's no one else I can ask about it.

      Hey man - sorry to hear it. I'm sure they're going to roll it out to everyone eventually, you're just in a cohort of people that's getting targeted first. :/
      I have no idea why they're doing this, and don't have a means of turning it off for anyone

    Amazing video as always, I'm an aspiring web designer and I've been watching your videos for months now and they really helped me. I wanted to share with you some of my design, is there any way I can share them with you?

    But why can't we be inventive? Why do we have to copy? If we think we can solve a problem better, what's wrong with trying to improve on a solution with faults rather than just copy it?

    • @DemystifyingDesign
      @DemystifyingDesign  29 วันที่ผ่านมา

      There's nothing inherently wrong with doing that. It just takes much more time to do and doesn't necessarily result in a usability or brand feel improvements. For your own projects this is fine...but when someone's paying you you usually by the hour to do design work, it's inappropriate
