I love your videos. I just bought your course, ui kit, and wireframes and just from glancing I can tell I'm going to improve greatly. Thank you so much for putting these helpful videos together.

[@Mizko]

Awesome!! Thank you Lisa, I'm so happy to hear :)

This is by far the most advanced product design video on the internet. Please keep sharing similar content, I believe that a lot of experienced designers will benefit from it as I did. Thank you so much for your effort.

[@michellezhu1559]

Oh this is so much more than UI tips! Loving the first tip about considering different users and the way you told the story. The last tip about getting feedback was useful!

[@lalitbarai]

The first part where you explained about the different types of user, that is something which I think is very very very useful. These types of videos really help us to deep dive into a problem & understand it from the core. Thank you for sharing this knowledge with the community.

[@chiyahuang5534]

Thank you Mizko ! This is super helpful ! I am going to share this to all my friends 😀

Thank you so much Rolands :) Appreciate it!

[@annele8776]

Thanks for sharing the UI feedback template. Great tip, we always get excited about our work and never think about the reviewers context when sending over our designs. This is definitely going to help them be more constructive! And less frustrating for us designers ^^

This was wonderful

[@luisPBonilla]

Hey Mizko nice tip about considering different user roles, as a developer too I am thinking how to effectively implement this, remember that design is followed by development. In this case might as well track app usage by device or use collected order data to optimize the flow. I do like the idea of have a favorite restaurant, which I would like to have because I do order from 3-6 restaurants no more.

[@ogundejiabiola3080]

This is premium Thanks for all you do for the community I am currently working on a landing page design and I feel stucked, thanks for this because I get to cover major scenarios.

Absolutely love the slots - I added something similar in a design system but it definitely wasn’t executed as well as this! Will that be added to Shipfaster by chance?

[@adityachatterjee8839]

Example 2- For a fist time user, dont you feel reassurance is more important? Maybe a reassuring message along with 2 call to action buttons- try agan and contact customer care

[@afrojaaktar2210]

Awesome!

[@tayirnull1567]

Seems like copywriting is really important in UX. Thanks for the video!

[@Mizko]

I personally think copywriting is an important skill to have as a Product & UX designer. It really does shape an experience 🙏

If you can work with a ux copywriter it is gold ✨✨

[@gdkgsirItsoyxuemrzktxitzi]

thank you so much for the amount of useful information and knowledge! learned a lot with you and your videos! hope we’ll work together one day :)

[@aydemironur35]

Ty Mizko! Like always you are the best! I figured a possible improvement for error message. At 8:53, also chancing color of 2 words "tecnical issue" to red wouldn't be good? We could save users to read whole text, it could be a time saver.

[@GuerillaRadio848]

This is a great video, thanks for sharing! One thing that I’m not sure on is with the error modal the “try again” button being red suggests to me that clicking it will trigger a destructive action such as a delete, so potentially changing it to the default button colour would make more sense?

[@Intmain02]

Really informative

[@Mizko]

Thanks!

Nice Tips.... also noticed that someone has been hitting the Gym yeah!

Thank you! Really happy to hear that you've been around from the start. The first year was really me learning how to edit videos 😂 But now that I've gotten my flow, I'm going to start introducing many new topics including Freelancing, Webflow, User Research and so much more!

[@danielle4644]

So I’m a teacher who’s leaving the profession and I’ve been seriously studying instructional design but haven’t felt that it’s my complete cup of tea. I’ve read a little and watched vids about UX/UI and after watching your vid am so interested in learning more about this field. It definitely seems to align more with my thinking and understanding of human behavior. What are your thoughts?

[@user-tp2nc9so4u]

Thanks

I expect to saw your design system 😂 and how to make it your own way a to z 💛

great ui kit publicity

[@MaxWeir]

Great video and I like the feedback approach, what's your method for dealing with a PM who want's something visually added that is not agreed upon within the design team? We have a situation where a request is to have icons next to ever main navigation link the the site header, we all think this is not ideal and sites don't tend to ever do this, plus it somewhat creates a distraction. As its come from the top we are finding it hard to push back on this.

[@Mizko]

Hey Max, this is a great question and I might even make a video around this. Now I'm not sure if you are referring to a top navigation or a side menu navigation. 1. If it's a side menu, I would suggest having an icon because: 1a. Side menus (on the left) have enough vertical and horizontal real-estate to allow for an icon. 1b. In a responsive context, it's also quite easy to collapse the labels to only show the icons. 1c. When you are scanning a side menu, icons and labels are stacked, so reading is not hindered. 1d. Overall, icons DO provide additional context to labels, and in a side-menu they don't compromise anything. 2. If it's a top navigation (across the top of a website), I would suggest against it: 2a. Horizontal space is limited, especially when considering responsive viewports (smaller resolutions) 2b. From a technical POV (in regards to CSS3 and markup), it's just a little more fiddly to setup. 2c. Scanning icons + labels in a horizontal manner hinders the ability to easily scan - unlike a vertical experience in a side menu. In addition, to prove a case to management you have to attend the situation by: 1. Understand the problem - Why does management want to add icons? - Do they think the navigation labels are not intuitive enough? - Do they think adding icons makes the overall design more 'modern/trendy'? - You need to get clarity on WHY management wants it... 2. Outlining the problem - Once you understand the concern, outline what problem the recommendations causes: - Less horizontal real-estate for future elements (Eg. adding a search bar etc) - Icons don't scale well on smaller devices - Showcase that no industry-leading app has icons in their top header navigation (only in side menus) 3. Support your case - What can you provide to support your case? - In the end it's always best to present your case with data or tangible results. - Can you showcase other leading websites for best practices? Even showcase design guidelines from Apple or Microsoft --- Ultimately, from the sounds of it, it seems that management doesn't have a trusted point of contact in the design team yet. Trust is only formed through someone taking initiative, delivering results and showcasing it over a period of time. I think it all starts with a first step. It could be you Max!

[@lorenl3851]

Missed the black friday promo :( When is the next promo?

[@rkdaryna8044]

Was that a swiftie reference at the beginning

[@philboehm]

@7:23 I think you should name the exit button CLOSE and not CANCEL. It’s an error popup, aka info popup, there’s no user action to cancel. The error itself is the (forced) cancel of the action. (PS: Thanks for your great videos that make us think! ;)

[@sathishpandiyan25]

I just started to learning UX and UI. Where does we can find the existing user kits? Do we find it in somewhere like plugins or downloading it from some websites? or we would create/design it by ourselves with different style and adds into the asset section and then using it in wherever we do wants it to be. How does we have to work?

[@sebabatsolethabo6864]

in terms of features like displaying a favourite order or suggesting other restaurants, is that a role for a ui/ux designer also?

[@hussainawardhawala7348]

Hi Mizko, by any chance do you teach slots in your paid UI course? I've watched the section on Slots a few times now but can't seem to wrap my head around it.

[@kdme]

So actually advance UI types not some generic and basic UI tips. Fucking finally! Too many designer creators pushing tips that are really basic. Not that there is a problem with the fundamentals but if there are 5 videos about the same topic appearing its gets annoying

[@loganselk9183]

where did the kit come from? You must have already downloaded it prior..
