I checked out your website and the app listed on your profile and they definitely looks professional and polished! Would you care to share the resources you used to learn this stuff? Even better if you could write more about your own journey. It's exactly the not-a-designer-by-trade-but-enthusiastic-about-it types whose backgrounds I can relate to the most.
- allenu 6y agoThanks for the compliment! Honestly, it would be challenging to distill it down into a post. I don't think I could convey it well enough. A lot of the journey is just training your eye to see things you like and ask what makes it the way it is. You just kind of have to develop an eye for white space, colors, visual hierarchy, and more. It's a heavy topic. Like writing, it takes practice, and when you do create something, it takes a lot of heavy editing and refining to simplify it more and more.
- snoshy 6y agoI haven't seen your work, but this to me is generally excellent advice. I wish more people would provide and hear it. There is a level of effort required to get good at effectively conveying information to others, and it is best learned by critically observing the situations that have done so in your personal experience.
