How to work with the developers? (1)

[@EdgarAntonioHez]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing more content about the developer handover, thanks!

[@MalewiczHype]

Already have one planned for February :)

[@cask2010]

As a junior, this is exactly the content I've been looking for. Any design style can be easily replicated. I want to know the nuts and bolts, how the sausage actually gets made, the secret sauce if you will lol. This info gives a lot more insight into the UX process than just learning how to crank out deliverables 🙌

[@MalewiczHype]

Glad it helped, I plan to do more with this series as it was strongly requested by the community - including some interviews with developers :-)

[@natalie-taylor]

So happy you are digging into this topic 👉 Designer/Developer communication. 🙏

[@MalewiczHype]

I have an entire series in mind, including some tips from our developers this year :-)

[@rosab6259]

I've been wanting to see a video like this for a long time now. I have some coding experience so I can understand how it goes once the dev gets the design files but not on the designer's end. Thank you so very much!

[@MalewiczHype]

Thank you! I'm already making another one on "assets" and how to best handle them so the developers have it easier to code it well :-)

[@BigWangLee]

Exactly what I wanted to learn more about thanks for the frequent videos!

[@MalewiczHype]

More to come!

[@sharzilalve6694]

Hi. I have a request for you. I've seen lots of designer dont know how to use shadow in such a cool way. Can you make a video for only shadow couple of depth? Like this far, close, closest. Better you will understand what I'm talking about. Thanks

[@AhmetEfeoglu]

This advice is especially important if you work at a big company where you can’t interact in person with a dev shoot maybe you guys might not even meet at zoom because of time difference. It seems like all designers I like on KZbin recommend selling. Might give it a shot

[@MalewiczHype]

It's a good tool

[@yojanselcuevas9829]

Good quality content which I admire

[@MalewiczHype]

🙏 Thank you, I try to get better with each video :)

[@fidotv4850]

Thank you so much so helpfull !

[@MalewiczHype]

Glad it helped! I plan to continue this series! :)

[@dwojczuk1]

Great as usual ! 👏

[@MalewiczHype]

Thank you so much 😀

[@SzabatDesign]

Thanks MIke ! Like Always good job. And thank you for everything what you do for us :)

[@MalewiczHype]

My pleasure! I think these flows can be a really cool way for juniors to make their portfolios look more interesting, so hopefully it'll help :)

[@SzabatDesign]

@@MalewiczHype Mike ! You always help ! 🙈😅

[@yvesb2370]

that is such an amazing feature!

[@MalewiczHype]

Yes, I believe it can be VERY handy for designers making portfolios, even the free version is powerful enough to make a case study flow :-)

[@SkArifHossain]

Wow! Didn't try out Zeplin, will check it soon! Thanks as always :)

[@MalewiczHype]

Thank you! I really like that flows feature. We're currently exploring moving to Zeplin (from InVision) as a company as well :-)

[@mrajax_0101]

Flow feature is also available in Figma.

[@MalewiczHype]

It doesn’t work as well + Figma is evil 😈

[@mrajax_0101]

@@MalewiczHype hehe

[@rachelkim1060]

i just purchased your ux book ! tanks for the good work! and also can you make a video about how to make gif for your animation just like you showed in this video ? thank you.

[@MalewiczHype]

Thanks for the support. That particular animation was made in invision studio, then converted to gif with a free online tool called ezgif 🙂 I have a couple of videos on this channel on how to use invision studio for beginner animators :)

[@wetsand7379]

How did you get so good at design? Like, how did you figure out what looks good in a design?

[@MalewiczHype]

It takes years. I started in 1998 ;-)

[@atomparish]

Why do you prefer Zeplin over Figma's dev-handoff features?

[@MalewiczHype]

I only use Figma for courses because most people use it. I don't use it for any hype4 work we do for a couple of reasons. Starting with an annoying UI, that non-native feel, all the way to a horrible privacy policy. So yeah, not a fan ;-) However we are exploring Zeplin for a while now (before this video) as it has a couple of features regarding asset generation that our devs seem to like a lot. Syncs well with Sketch, which is our go-to design tool and is not that expensive in the paid plans. We're not sure we'll 100% switch all our company work to it yet, but we're testing the waters. So far I like what I see.

[@bozenad07]

what the difference between Figma inspect mode and Zeplin? Devs can use Figma inspect mode as well

[@MalewiczHype]

Zeplin does it a bit better.

[@DuyThangPro]

Thanks a lot for this useful video! Could you pls tell me where I can find the high quality images of fruits as in your design?

[@MalewiczHype]

I get them from free stock photo sites and simply cut them out from the background myself :-)

[@DuyThangPro]

@@MalewiczHype Ah, I see. Many thanks!

[@alfredoromero4518]

Can't you do this in Figma as well?

[@MalewiczHype]

Zeplin does it better than Figma.

[@gonzalordtm]

Hi! is Zeplin still necessary? Figma already has a Dev Mode

[@MalewiczHype]

Zeplin is better.

[@gonzalordtm]

@@MalewiczHype could you make a video comparing both? 👽

[@iamaboyeji]

Pls is zeplin free

[@MalewiczHype]

There is a free plan - yes.

[@iamaboyeji]

Oh, okay

[@drewatkison4127]

Well... if you're an actual ui developer, you won't have an issue with the stuff mentioned in the video. Not sure what you worked with

[@_Perf]

Why do you need Zeplin, when Figma has built-in comments, ''Prototype'' and 'Inspect'' functions? Zeplin is in agony now...

[@MalewiczHype]

I don't use Figma for any professional work (for various reasons I also speak about on this channel). But those handoff parts Zeplin does better than Figma. Even inVision inspect is better than the one in Figma. Best not to rely on just one tool for everything, as you may end up in a locked ecosystem without the ability to switch ;)

[@_Perf]

​@@MalewiczHype Ok, that make sense. Thx
