Gary, hi. If I don't have time to do it, because my electricity will be cut off, but I want you to check my work + I'm from another country (time difference) If I submit it by the next day, will the work be checked?

[@DesignCourse]

@@ob5804 It depends on how many submissions I receive. If I don't receive enough, I will delay doing a review. I will instead upload a video that teaches hero section design tomorrow. But at some point, I will definitely do a "review" of these. I can't guarantee I will review them all.

[@ob5804]

@@DesignCourse I made it and already sent it))))

Nice can you make a video tutorial series on Rive they got a huge update

[@DesignCourse]

[@eugenetkv]

#question If I add ‘home’ to the navigation, won't it be a ux mistake? The logo is already ‘home’, isn't it?

[@berniko4954]

No

[@jaisuriya9552]

hlo bro my x id has been blocked, is there is any other way to share the challenge that you have gave to us

[@DesignCourse]

Join the discord server noted in the description and submit it in the #30dayuiux channel.

[@questfordopamine]

Bro, who is your target audience anymore? I used to love your videos as you gave us valuable insight on how to improve our designs with advanced techniques, and how to add additional skills to our arsenal like coding and business tips in order to become a better ‘full package’ designer. Now I’m a little confused. Feel like you’ve fell off or don’t have a unified goal of your channel. Every new design video talks about the same things. Hierarchy, contrast, spacing. Those are all very important fundamentals, but at some point you have to realize the audience that has grown your channel and care about it are long past these surface-level tips. I thought the new space you built was the beginning of a new era and you’re finally going to make content for the post-college audience. But I guess it was just for the aesthetics. This is just my opinion, but the views are showing my side. I hope you find your way again.

[@DesignCourse]

I'm a part of a discord server that has just about every well-known youtuber, and views are pretty much down for almost everyone. Also remember, my channel's first video was uploaded back in 2010 (14 yrs ago), and I've uploaded consistently for the last 10 years straight. Throughout all of that, I've covered a lot of topics and have gained a ton of subscribers. The problem with this is I've spread myself thin. While I have a lot of subs, they're spread out across different niches. So when a video gets uploaded, youtube sees a large portion of my audience just isn't responding because they're interested in other stuff. This series is my attempt to go back to my roots to try and capture the next wave of UI/UX beginners. Will it work? We'll see. If it doesn't, I'll re-adjust. Perhaps Mr. Beast was right when he said that the average lifespan of a KZbinr is 10 years.

[@DesignCourse]

Also, to address your other comment about covering more intermediate/advanced topics -- I've covered a lot already in different areas. After 1,200+ videos, I feel like I've already dished out all I know about this field. It's a real struggle.

[@eye-um-kat]

@@DesignCourse you reached the saturation point i guess

[@Sizganov]

Thank you for the helpful material. It's clear and easy to understand. Uh, I'll give it a try. Maybe I can do as well as everyone else. Ha-ha.
