>The way you wrote and posted this article, there was an implication to me (and I'm guessing to others) that you think this design philosophy is better than what most other people are doing. The article would benefit from some qualifications, e.g.: "I'm still teaching myself UX and aesthetic design," for example. As it is, it comes across as a strong argument from someone who thinks he's an expert (and thinks other people's design decisions are wrong).
I thought I covered this pretty well in the conclusion: "I’m not a particularly skilled UI designer, so keeping it simple like this also helps to make a reasonably nice UI attainable for an engineer-oriented developer like me."
Outside of that, thank you very much for the resources.
- smt88 8y agoYou're right. I took "not particularly skilled UI designer" to mean that you're not very good at Photoshop and/or you don't want to learn this skill. It seemed (to me) that you're against the idea that UX design is a complex skill that people should learn before becoming a vocal practitioner of UX design. I also pay more attention to the difference between "UI" and "UX" than most people do, I'm sure. Like I said, I think (based on upvotes) that my impression was shared by others, but that certainly doesn't mean it was correct or universal.
