I’m working on a customizable UI for my drawing, painting, and note-taking app for iPad, iPhone, and Mac. I’m a Swift developer, not a designer, but I wanted to take on the challenge of designing it myself.

I know artists love having control over their workspace, like placing colors on the left, tools on the right, and so on, so I built a solution based on that idea, which you can see in the video. It has draggable panels, and some are even rotatable - they automatically switch between horizontal and vertical layouts when moved to the corresponding edge of the screen.

I really love how it turned out. But, well… I’m a programmer, not a designer, and we all know how apps designed by programmers sometimes look 😅 I’m looking forward to your feedback!

Hello all! Are there any websites or tools that help analyze UI mistakes in apps, websites, or webpages that we might overlook? I'm looking for something that can highlight issues like inconsistent spacing, alignment problems, bad contrast, accessibility issues, or anything that affects the user experience but isn’t always obvious at first glance.

I would love to hear your recommendations!

Thanks in advance!

Hi There, I'm a software developer, who wants to build some apps and release on app store. Right now i've no understanding on UI/UX design. What is the bare minimum concept that I should learn so that my UI looks decent. Thanks.

I took some feedback from this subreddit and modified the layout of this view in my game. The primary goal was to improve the text readability and reduce dead space.

I do recognize that the yellow text on the bottom right button is pretty unreadable, that will be addressed soon. Also, the buttons on the bottom are huge, this is partly because this was recorded on an IPhone 13, which has extra length at the bottom outside of the safe area. On other devices the buttons are about half the size.

Hello everybody I am a Web Designer and I have created my personal website which I am planning to use to pitch to small and local business. I wanted to know whether or not I could make some improvements on my design or copywriting

I am using framer for the tool as I have some experience on it. Is the color ratio used good and do you think there are any areas where I can make some improvements

Hi all, I’m working on a tennis league app for my portfolio. I’ve only recently finished a ux/ui bootcamp so am looking for some feedback on my wireframes before I get designing properly. I have had some feedback from my users but mostly they have just said “yeah that works” and “yeah that looks good”. So hoping for some design advice from the community!

Praise and criticism equally welcome

Hello everyone! I've found this beautiful website for a Hackathon on Twitter and it made question: how to create these kind of 3D models that a user can interact with (using a mouse, button, etc.). Is this kind of 3D models made from scratch? How to animate these models?

Hello! I have a quick question that came to mind

So I wanted to freelance and build websites for small business around my area and my country in general, so they can digitalize their products or services so they can expand. If I were to build them a website and delivered it to them, how would it be maintained?

My idea is that I can offer them to maintain it, like look for a domain, manage the SEO and generally maintain their website up and running, and charging them a bit extra for that. Or, they could do it themselves and maybe save a little bit.

What's your guys take on it? What would you do in this situation? Anything would help, thank you!

I'm trying to put together my Case Studies so I can begin looking for an Internship or Junior Designer work. Where is a good place to get those Cover Visuals for my Case Studies?

I am launching my startup whose business will consist of market studies.

So I am currently trying to design some Slides Template for my business, including colors, fonts etc.

Yeah this is some boring business to boring customers. I will need some basic colors like green and red for positive and negative figures. Even if I am willing to look “somehow” original, I need to stay within the expectations of a 50 year old marketing manager.

Hey everyone,

Been working in UI/UX since 2012, and lately I’ve felt the need to put everything into a book. Not just another generic guide, but something structured and real—focused on the User, UX, and UI as three connected but distinct pillars.

The plan is to include practical insights, real examples, and maybe even interviews with designers building cool stuff—not just theory.

What I’d love to know:

• What would you want to see in a book like this?

• What’s missing from most design content out there?

• Any names you admire that I should try to reach out to for input or interviews?

Appreciate any ideas, suggestions, or links. Want to make something useful—not just write it for the sake of it.

Thanks,
Aureliu

Hey everyone, I’m working on a mobile app and struggling to pick the right color scheme. The app is an educational social media platform for students (7th–12th grade), and I want it to be engaging yet easy on the eyes. I'm leaning towards minimalistic design approach but still open to suggestions.

What color combinations do you think would work best? Any insights would be really helpful!

I am curious is there are place on the internet where commercial website designs are critiqued ?
I am getting really tired of experiencing poorly designed commercial websites that are all show and no go and don't have even the most basic means of allowing users to provide feedback on how their websites don't work.

Sort of like a website user rating Website ?

I have commented on their Facebook pages but that just triggers the FB spamming algorithm

So I’m a junior designer, I have about 2 years of working experience in UI design but a degree in UX design. I’m currently working at a startup with about 15 employees where 2 of us are designers. The other designer was hired a few months before me and was introduced as ”lead designer”.

After a couple of months this lead designer basically stopped doing anything with the constant excuse of conceptualizing but never actually producing anything that could be used for the product and this has been going on now for like a year.

Everyone (even our bosses) is aware of the fact that this lead designer isn’t doing anything and that I alone have the workload of designing the whole product, a responsive web app. Their solution has been to tell me that they’ll lessen my workload by prioritizing tasks but in practice nothing has changed.

I’m torn because on one hand I’m very proud of the work I’m doing and having so much confidence put in me to have responsibility over the product, especially when having so little experience. But on the other hand I’m very self conscious about my lack of experience and worried about my professional growth in the field of UI/UX design. I really feel like I’m missing out when not having a senior designer to bounce ideas off and learn from.

I guess what I want to know is, from other people who have had a similar experience, or seniors who have worked with juniors who previously worked without ”guidance”, how does this affect one’s future? Pros and cons? Should I try to find a place where I can learn from others instead of pushing on alone?

Hi everyone! I’m a UX designer working in a digital bank, and part of my work is to keep up with best practices in product design and user experience.

I’m looking for mobile apps that are truly top-tier when it comes to UX and UI — apps that really nail the fundamentals, follow solid design guidelines, and go the extra mile in terms of usability and visual consistency.

Which apps do you consider to be must-follow examples? Bonus points if they’re also great case studies for accessibility, onboarding, or microinteractions.

Thanks in advance!

I am having trouble with learning figma autolayout since the videos on youtube are 2-3 years old and I have a completely different version of figma as compared to those on youtube. I couldn't find some features on my version.

As far as I know, there is no Artboard tool in Figma. There is the frame but no artborad. Arboard exists in the Adobe products. Today I got criticised by a senior UI designer that I didn’t have Artboard in my Figma design page. Could sb explain where to find this?

Hey everyone! I recently created a 3D interactive website featuring Goku using Spline for the 3D model. The site lets you interact with Goku directly, and I tried to make the experience as smooth and engaging as possible.

Would love to get some feedback on the design, interactivity, and overall feel. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions for improving it!

Appreciate any thoughts or advice — thanks in advance!

I keep seeing different answers to what the size should be for an app's frame. Many times, I see people say that it varies and that it's different for every iPhone. However, is there a one-size-fits-all dimension? If I cater to an iPhone 14 size, will it look the same for an iPhone 16?

quick rant: I keep getting consistently frustrated by how UI changes have been the past few years for no reason whatsoever, I understand it's easier said than done but so many UI changes (the recent discord UI changes in particular) would be far less disliked if they enabled you to customize them to your heart's content. Frequently these changes, for me at least, make using many apps and websites harder and more annoying for me to use. It genuinely depresses me how often this happens pointlessly for no reason. And when you have the levels of success so many companies that make pointless changes have I cannot understand the idea here. I know programming also needs to be involved to make true customization possible and it's not just UI design itself but

I know there's a lot of smart people more knowledgeable on the subject than me here, so I have to ask, why is true customizability so frowned upon in design? From my perspective it's just objectively a positive thing for the user experience. Why would you want to make the user experience worse for some people?

Which UI do you prefer? 🤔🎨

🚀 Left: Bento-style blocks with soft pastels
🔥 Right: Structured schedule with bold colors

Hey Guys,

I have to redesign a family friend's website, they asked me for it and i said yes. i am rookie in ui ux. How do you actually redesign it for a client, (for context its a ecommerce site) so i have to make each and every product page in figma?, like what extent do i need to redesign it ? (sorry for my english) (i am proficient in figma but its my first project)

I've been struggling with attention to detail in my design work, and it's frustrating because I keep making the same mistakes despite knowing better. I tell myself I’ll be more careful, but when I look back at my designs, I always find errors—misaligned text, missing dropdown icons, inconsistent colors, or input fields that don’t follow requirements. The worst part is that I understand these issues when my seniors point them out, yet I don’t seem to catch them beforehand. I really want to improve and level up as a designer, but I feel stuck in this cycle of making and fixing the same mistakes. How do I train myself to be more detail-oriented and stop missing these small but important things?

Im currently a high school student planning to study UX design for a 4 year degree in september. Ive heard mixed things about the current market. What should i be prepared for?
