- Previous LinkedIn Redesign: • I redesigned LinkedIn ...
In the 87th episode of Demystifying Design, I'll be redesigning LinkedIn. I've already done this once before, but I've grown so much so it's time to take it on again.
Today, we'll take on the challenge of redesigning the LinkedIn profile UI to improve user experience and enhance professional networking. Our goal is to create a more intuitive, visually appealing, and efficient interface that better serves the needs of professionals worldwide. Through a step-by-step process, we analyze the current design, identify areas for improvement, and apply modern UI design principles to create a concept that emphasizes usability, accessibility, and engagement. We discuss the rationale behind each design decision, from layout adjustments and typography choices to color schemes and interactive elements. This video is not only a showcase of the redesign process but also a valuable resource for UI/UX designers looking to understand the complexities of designing for professional platforms. Join us as we explore the potential impact of thoughtful design on professional networking and personal branding on LinkedIn.
This entire redesign took me about 9 hours to complete (over 2 days). Hope you enjoy!

[@crypso1526]

Looks solid!

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Thank you 🙏

[@kahanekstudio]

Beautiful, thanks for this video! Exactly for me. I learn UX UI design and this video gives me a perfect mindset for think. 😍

[@DemystifyingDesign]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I think I'm going tos start with some more structured tutorial vids as well.

[@HazirMagron]

I never watch these videos and was recommended this randomly by KZbin - which I'm happy for. Thought it'd be interesting for you to know about. Like you say, fonts make a huge difference - what font would you use in an ERP application to communicate reliability and seriousness?

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Glad you found the channel! For something like an ERP system, my initial inclination would be to keep it totally basic with something like Roboto or Inter. There's tons of other good fonts that accomplish the "clean and simple" aesthetic though!

[@alexandru_dodon]

Overall the new design is amazing! But one note regarding posting content: I would definitely want a way to do that without going to the Home page. Why? Because over there I start to see posts and it's easy to get distracted. But if I'm on my profile, for example, I could just post something without seeing the feed first. This is what I like about Twitter, actually. I don't have to see the feed if I'm not ready to spend some time there.

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Yeah this was one of the parts of the design that I felt was a little too opinionated. Part of the problem when I'm doing this redesigns is that I have to come up with something that's significantly different from the existing UI. Otherwise it's a boring video 🤣

[@manashkashyap7780]

please put out more content

[@DemystifyingDesign]

You know it! Got a good weekly cadence for now, we'll see how it goes long term

[@gabrieliglesias3788]

LinkedIn needs some care 😂It's a pretty neat redesign

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Poor thing is on life support

When can I buy your morning catapult

[@DemystifyingDesign]

LOL merch drop coming as soon as the legal team gets off my back

[@shreyas9309]

A small doubt , how to do the scroll thingy during presentation 14:52 ? 😄

[@DemystifyingDesign]

I am simply scrolling the frame down with my mouse! On Figma, you can set the sidebar to be fixed, your main content container to be a fixed height, but then make sure that the scroll setting is set to vertical. Now you have an infinitely scrolling content body with a fixed sidebar. Does that answer your question?

[@shreyas9309]

@@DemystifyingDesign Yes , Thank you !

[@alizainy860]

wow :O

[@DemystifyingDesign]

😮😮

[@putdownthegun721]

Marc, you already redesigned linked in

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Oh boy here we go

[@manav.033]

Why isn't this channel growing !! Is it going through a curse or something! The content is so good but still, whats the issue

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Haha we are growing slowly! I'm also still learning how to edit videos better, design better and more consistent thumbnails, and figure out how to make lighting work properly. The bar for good content on YT these days is very, very high. I also don't publish many shorts, which the YT algo doesn't like. In a nutshell, KZbin has endless options for content to show in people's home feeds, and mine is not yet on par with the alternatives. 👍 Always learning and growing though!

[@babablekshep8485]

@@DemystifyingDesign I think your redesigns have a lot of potentials in the YT shorts space, as a quick 40 second short, with the before and after and giving some design philosophy on why the new design is better. This would probably really help you grow, and I strongly recommend it.

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Yeah I've considered this - the main problem is that most of my content is large UI redesigns that would fit well into a short...may need to revisit the idea

[@konankijayanth9768]

You just redesigned facebook

[@DemystifyingDesign]

I haven't yet but I may give that a shot next!

[@zelfroster]

Yeah, I was wondering why does this design feel familiar? Although looked nice overall.

[@DemystifyingDesign]

Oh yeah shes a beaut
