7 UX Tips You Might Not Have Considered<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the article offering practical approaches to design practices able to enhance creativity and bring interesting results in terms of user experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key thought: Talk to other people \u2013 outside design and development circles \u2013 to see how they interact with websites and apps. You might be surprised to see how different their ideas about how things should and should not work are. Take that information back to your projects. It will make them better and help you craft a much more enjoyable user experience.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How To Integrate Motion Design in the UX Workflow<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 an informative post presenting research and recommendations on integrating animation into user experience design process while analyzing the benefits and concerns of this technique.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unintuitive Lessons on Being a Designer<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 important considerations on design job features and results, based on practical design experience. A bunch of highly useful tips for modern designers.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key thought: At the end of the day, the people whom we are designing for don\u2019t have any of that context, history, or understanding of the constraints we face. And yet, they will still pass judgement. The only thing that matters is whether your design works for them in solving the problem you intended to solve.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The 6 Biggest Design Mistakes Brands are Making Today<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the set of thoughts directly from design experts on popular design mistakes that in their opinion should be avoided. Followed by the great thread of professional discussion on the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key thought: At the foundation of every brand there is purpose, an ideology, a rally cry or a rich history. It is important to break these philosophies down to their most simple visual form. I see so many incredible brands that are quite frankly either forgetting who they are or just being too complicated in their message. As designers, it\u2019s our job to show our clients the way. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Pros, Cons, and Future of Flat Design<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the post analyzing strong and weak sides of flat design, supporting the ideas with practical examples of modern digital design.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key thought: So while big brands like Microsoft, Apple, and Google definitely have influence when it comes to popularizing design styles, it\u2019s the designers that take trends and run with them to create something new \u2014 it\u2019s the designers that help usher in the next \u201cbig thing.\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Communicating Design<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 the set of thoughts and ideas about the ways and features of communication in design process, which is one of the vital conditions of good performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key thought: Long before pencil is put to paper, there should be a shared understanding of the partnership and process ahead. This is more than just a design brief. For one situation, this might mean that you were hired based on the way you work. But in many others, this is an education process. Either one creates a need to communicate expectations at some point.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Designing With the User’s Context in Mind<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the article considering such a vital factor as user environment and ways of customizing design according to this aspect.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key thought: You can create compelling content, presented within a stunning design yet still disappoint users. You see, design and content are not enough if we do not also consider the user\u2019s context. In fact, you cannot create a great design or appropriate content without understanding the context the user is in.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Simple Checklist for Successful Design Handoffs<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 the post with a number of practical tips to consider in terms of creating good performance at design stage and enable its efficiency on the further stages of product development.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Key thought: Image galleries feature far more complexity than single images; there are even more variables and things to think about when implementing entire responsive image galleries on your website.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
