I’ve been doing UI for 20+ years and most of what I’ve worked on is determined by marketing & engineering. I understand & totally sympathize with not liking the results, but in my experience the designers rarely choose what (ui) problems need to get solved. Also I have never worked in an org that shipped “the design”, it’s inevitably compromised by high level management’s personal feelings or lack of engineering attention to detail (I don’t blame eng’s for this, anytime the project schedule gets tight, they immediately cut resources to UI/UX). Anyway, I agree most updated UI’s fail to deliver improvements to end users and let me tell you how shitty it feels to take the blame for stuff you didn’t like either.
- ngcc_hk 5y agoWhilst apple also have its share of this ui change (like keyboard butterfly or no hole in portable etc.), I still think their design team actually work to solve sone user problem. Not just marketing or engineering… I cannot be sure. Just that I thought. Hence not all in the dark side.
