Exactly, and some designers get pay sht, these are the people willing to fire artist and incorporate Ai in their businesses. At this point they’re going have to hire someone to training the Ai and manage it.

Design/UX is an expensive and time-consuming luxury, it is easy to cut the budget there without hesitation. I've been building for the web for 30 years, from early pre-adobe Flash (I still have the macromedia CD), to the beginnings of JavaScript, through CMS, UX, UI Front End, and all other points. The tide is out, it'll come back, it always does. One-trick ponies, like pixel pushing, will never survive the lean years, they'll just hire coders "with an eye for design" and the rest will go make coffee. BUT when things return, the big spending will happen and you'll be over-booked. When that happens, don't be foolish with new found money, stay lean.

Why do you think it is a "time-consuming luxury?", the return of investment number seems to point towards the opposite.

I'm noticing UI Designer jobs are either for large companies starting new design systems, or marketing agencies that don't understand how to hire for UX lol

@McCloud23892 3 ай бұрын

I’ve worked 20 years for a very large e-commerce brand in NYC, just to keep it confidential, the majority of these companies hate to manage artist, it requires lots of time and money so they see it as an easy way for a Junior or even beginner designer to know all these skills. There’s a reason why the majority are adapting Ai, as well as inside these design programs like Figma and Adobe …. And to answer your point, these companies don’t know what the hell they’re doing most of the time, they play it by ear the majority of the time unless you can hire some large design firm like Pentagram and have to come off more out of pocket 😂

As a game UI designer, having the skills to implement UI into a game engine, and solve bugs and problems within Unity/Unreal has given me a good leg up recently. I also enjoy it - as I get bored doing one thing for too long, and its nice to have some binary problems to solve, as good design choices aren't always as set in stone.

@MrRalphbro 3 ай бұрын

Hey game designer, is it true that the gaming industry for ui designers is more harsh in terms of pay/work and job availabilities?

@Balloonbot 3 ай бұрын

@@MrRalphbro In terms of job opportunities, you're right- there are fewer, since there are many more apps and websites than games out there. Although you can translate your UI design skills over to other industries, its hard to stand out against somebody focused in that field. In terms of pay it can vary, for example the finance industry pays much more than the gaming industry for the same or even less amount of work, mostly because they have a steadier income and want to draw people in from seemingly more interesting industries, however smaller app start ups for example may not be as generous.

Great advice in general, but as a frontend developer, I don't recommend low/no-code tools. I used to use them before I learned to code, and the performance outcomes ranged from suboptimal to abysmal! HTML and CSS are super easy, no matter how much you hate to code you'll pick them up in no time.

@waltermelo1033 3 ай бұрын

I kinda agree with you, I do both. but I don't know if we have a lot of no-code tools. there is will be still space on the market for the designer + front with code role

That was true a long time ago, but not really anymore. The code they output is pretty good. Plus, why do they have to be extremely highly optimized? We're talking about the difference of a few KB, and everyone has fast internet these days anyhow.

💯 as coder I see "no-code developers" struggle with basics of CSS. IMO "no-low code" platforms produce "developers" who thinks that "no-code === no knowledge" . Put these "devs" front of code editor and let them create a simple responsive Hero section.

One thing I would add to all of this, though, is the need to have exceptional writing skills. I know we have chat, GPT, etc. to help us construct things, but in the end, I still think it’s important to develop and have this skill, Especially as it pertains to the Research side of things.

As a deisgner, who tried to be "full-stack", front-end etc, I disagree. Guys if you become full stack you will become agency owner, and not a good designer. Because I found out that when I grab a work, and start doing a front-end part it's much quicker for me to drop this job to my mate, whos doing it for years, and he making this part pretty easy (and I struggling sometimes, and refreshing my knowledge each time) ! So only the difference was now that when I was getting a new job or task, I told that I will do everything. and clients were picking me instead of single designer. They just want "all inculded" pack. But again you will be more efficient just doing design part. So my point - Improve social skills > pitching, build a circle of people who can de a quick job for you on a decent level. You will mostly add a communication to your process. GL all! Identity or marketing - yes, sometimes you can do it by yourself and for me it's fun, and great opportunity to refresh yourself from boring forms and tables.

Yeah, you have a point, but in my case, most of times when you propuse do something more or different to "the man who push pixels on Figma", there is a lot of resistance against it. People still not are used to see designers as a bundle of different tools, most of them see designers just like pixel pushers

Haha, telling this to Reddit UX channel is a quick way to get downvotes. People don’t want to hear it and think Figma is end-all-be-all. Most people there likely don’t even know how to change a font face on a site, use adobe suite, know seo fundamentals, etc. Sadly, software dictates design for so many young designers nowadays. Also, a lot more to the economy then what you stated. There is more money and more profits than ever before, it just happens to only go to a select rich few.

@DesignCourse 3 ай бұрын

There's "more money" because they printed it into existence lol. And there's more "profit" only because the dollar is worth LESS now, so it's not actual profit when everything costs way more anyways.
