The last thing anyone said here
No announcement, no goodbye. The archive simply stops. Nobody in this conversation knew it was the last one.
extrabigmood- For the final prototype, the animations feel like powerpoint transition, id recommend watching some youtube videos about animating in figma to make these feel more satisfying.
extrabigmoodInternet case study:
- This needs better and larger imagery of the final result
extrabigmoodOverall, i think your website is enough to get interviews as a junior, however a bit more visual polish will likely make you a more attractive candidate
bunnybutt420I have applied to plenty of design jobs recently for big tech firms. The application clearly states that if you do not include a portfolio, your application will not be considered.
Miss_SnowstarHello everyone, I’m a university Interaction Design student, and I wanted to share my demo from class and kindly ask if any prototype testers would be willing to try it and provide me feedback. :)
My brief is on creating a tool that increases the proficiency of Japanese learners. I’ve chosen a target demographic of learners at somewhat of an intermediate stage, around a N4 JLPT level (knows basic grammar structures, vocabulary, a fair few kanji), so ideally you’re a tester who knows a little Japanese. But, non-learners could provide general usability feedback and that’d be greatly appreciated too!
I used Unity for this project and uploaded it on Itch; the link is below and it can be opened in the browser right away (no need to download anything)
Link to the Itch game: https://rxchelle.itch.io/a3-test-2
Password: Japanese
Going through the entire lesson should take about 5 minutes, definitely no more than 10.
(Using Windows might be laggier than Mac, if this happens please let me know).
I had three general considerations in this design project: intuitiveness/ease/usability when progressing through the lesson, the Japanese content and topics covered, and the learning methods/strategies which were used. Arranging feedback under these 3 categories might be a little easier to do.
To anyone who’s happy to test this, I am very, very grateful to you! Thank you so much for reading, and I hope my demo brings you a positive UX :)
To note: There are several bugs and areas of improvement I’ve already identified from previous testing; they haven’t been implemented yet largely because I’m new to using Unity and am still learning. Some of them include:
Conditions aren’t set to go through doors into other rooms (i.e. users can choose to not complete a task and just walk on ahead; for the sake of content please just pretend you can’t skip the tasks!)
Looking to implement a progress bar for different tasks
Need to improve progressive disclosure in general (so users can’t just see all the tasks ahead of them and feel overwhelmed; still coming up with ways to improve this)
AhmSimI think you should go all the way in and include the sidebar in your design too.
I would also ask you to A/B test this with a regular and plain design (Maybe a template) Data should be same, apply with this version 50% of the time and then use the other one for the rest of jobs. See which one performs better.
(Also sidebar his a little bug when you move the cursor below resume nav item)
Ok_Negotiation_134This case study is from my last internship. I have only 8 months of experience and I’m applying for junior roles
Can you review it and lemme know what I should improve or change or anything that feels off?

yourgirlsEXmanHey designers, need help..I am a fresher and I'm working as a product designer at a startup and I got a new project designing a website for the first time and i am kinda unclear where to start from. Do you mind helping me out? 😭🙏
Dingle-Berry101Just revamped my portfolio. It’s still a WIP as I have some more solid projects I need to add as well as a more in depth about me write up.
Would love some thoughts and feedback on what I have thus far. Any input would be helpful to consider as I continue to write and add more projects this week.
