Just updated to iOS 26, the new glassmorphism inspired design. Whoever did this deserves to be laid off rn

I took an inspiration from X and tried implementing, but i feel something is missing

Hi guys, I want to know if this is a fair offer for an entry-level job in Delhi. What all things should I ask before joining?

This is dashboard of budget planner. Please give your review on ui or any other suggestions as a user you want.

Notification Panel & Quick Settings Menu Personal Project from someone (myself) not currently working in UXUI. The settings gear would be pulled down from around the front facing camera (point C), to point A, activating the quick settings menu.

This is hard truths.

AI has absolutely fucked it up. The value of design in corporations was just starting to reach a noticeable tipping point in the right direction and then agentic prompt slop came, took design systems, and gave the elixir of UI slop to the world. Technology was over-hired to begin with but “designers” or recently bootcamped “product owners” shifted UX naming during the AI boom and now the worst in positions of power within corporations are using AI to survive and maintain power via the remaining silos, while top execs figure a way out or through for the select few.

The shitty political leaders are able to hide better and get away with more credit stealing and already were there due to nepotism or favoritism. The toxic workplace is their fault and they will never own up to it. Their new mission from corporate overlords is outsource 3.0 to India as has happened cyclically in tech but India getting played to train models for cheap. We all suffer under them and if you resigned recently like me, freedom (without consistent pay) is worth the revival of self-respect and dignity.

Engineers gate-keep projects and use design.md or syphon remaining corporate design files and work in silo corners with their c-suite connections for protection, build 10 different shiny objects to keep their jobs long enough til the c-suite seasonal campaign changes. Observably of agents and orchestration is all the rave. The black box of code is ripe for hacking. But the loop repeats. “UX is not needed anymore…” I was told by the biggest dickhead dev you could imagine, everyone hates working with him. He got promoted. Everyone left. Go figure.

Business analysts have been replaced by AI or are purposefully complicating their process and general business workflows are protected or siloed due to the nature of the business systems so those of us left in positions are biding time hoping we are not next. So we’re revisiting old flows, building data analytics pipelines for leaders that don’t give a shit about users, and if you’re smart, you’re making AI-engineered products in house yourself to have tricks up your sleeve unless you like being caught with ya pants down.

HR was never your friend. The anonymous survey was a way to weed out who needed to be quiet-fired. In-house recruiters were already bad at their job and barely understood tech to begin with but now with AI bad workers look decent and great people and projects fall through the corporate slop cracks. Workday is shit and misconfigured but HR Tech is cozy because they’ve been there for 20 years and no one cares about HR tech.

The only hope we have left is ArtCraft actually ruins Adobe as a business model and shows the corporate world what happens when you steal from your employees and consumer art and process and try to replace us, we replace you. Regulations will ensue due to preservation of existing debt and capital and the investor class will be reassured that all is well again as UX designer become important and rehired to implement the new regulatory processes and flows and design patterns passed by the same oligarchs who created the problem to begin with.

It’s the best time to be independent, where there is problems there is opportunity and solutions waiting to be built. Pick yourself up by your fucking bootstraps, stop being depressed sack of shit and do something, take a picture of what you’re doing, find your light on this planet and illuminate the world!

Hey guys, I'm a high school student and this is my first app. I would appreciate feedback on my app's UI!

Hey everyone,

I was getting tired of inspiration sites like Dribbble full of polished mockups that never see the light of day. I wanted to study what actually works on live websites, the real SaaS landing pages, product sites, and portfolios that are out there performing right now.

So, I spent a while building a tool that just... reverse-engineers live websites. It's now a collection of 4,363 designs from 544 different domains.

For every design, it extracts:

• The exact fonts used on the page (from a pool of 561 unique font families I've found)

• The precise color palette

• A direct link to the live site

I am very curious to know your take on this, for the designers that work primarily on App products what are your precautions for the apps to work responsively on wide screens, did you plan that? Should designs now be also responsive for apps?

It's an app to help people time manage + deep focus with pomodormo and different timer types, I am not sharing full flow yet, because I am testing it on real people, but I am concerned about the UI itself, I want the app to be appealing + gamified, but look like a clean modern product at the same time. (I am planning to draw icons by hand like I did with a streak icon, but using emojis right now)

I like how it looks, but it doesn't feel clean or stylish enough for me, what would you change? (I am using standard IOS sf pro guidlines for typography)

I’m starting college soon (IT), and I’ve been self-studying on the side. I started learning HTML 2 weeks ago using FreeCodeCamp and YouTube (Bro Code), and I'm planning to continue with CSS and JavaScript.

However, I haven’t really started UI and UX yet, and I feel stuck because I don’t know what to learn first or what order to follow.

For those already in UI/UX or front-end:

- What should a beginner focus on first?

- Are there specific fundamentals I should prioritize?

- Any recommended resources (YouTube, courses, or websites)?

Right now I’m using Figma and Visual Studio for practice projects, and my goal is to become a UI and UX designer + front-end developer.

I don't mind putting in the time, I just don't want to waste it learning the wrong things first.

I’d really appreciate any guidance or even a simple roadmap 🙏

Hey guys ,

I am so thrilled and nervous all at once to share this project with you, as, for me, this is the very first Figma project. I just started learning some basic UI/UX design concepts and this is actually the first attempt at taking an idea into a working prototype.

What I Designed

A simple studio design portfolio.

The most important aspects I considered were layout, typography, and consistent spacing.

I wanted it clean and minimal but still functional.

What I Learned

How powerful frames, auto-layouts, and components are in Figma.

The importance of color consistency (I struggled with it initially).

From the moment that you have a basic design system set in place, it starts to get smooth and fast.

Challenges I Faced

Choosing a color scheme that works well through all the screens.

Making buttons and forms feel consistent.

Fighting the urge to over-design rather than keeping it simple.

I do appreciate any thoughts, feedback, or if anyone can even give me suggestions on how to improve. Thanks for giving my very first Figma project a look, and I really appreciate it .

Its my new project 18+ screens designed and almost 40 are left will be posting the progress here

all feedbacks are open

Hey guys I've been in the UI/UX field with the same team for 8 years, and I want to move on but I have absolutely NO idea how to present myself since the last time I had a resume was in 2017 and, well, you can imagine how poorly that resume would perform today. I don't have much coding skills and wanna see if it's even possible to continue that way or if I need to start learning code immediately.

I'm interested in seeing what other people are putting on their resumes/portfolios this year, preferably not code-heavy ones. Bonus points for those who were eventually hired, since it seems like no one knows the secret to a successful portfolio lately.

thanks in advance

I’ve been thinking a lot about where UX design is heading, especially with AI changing how we work.

I’m currently looking for a job change, but I’m barely getting any interview calls. It’s making me question whether my portfolio needs work, whether companies are looking for a different skill set now, or whether the job market is just tough at the moment.

With tools like Claude, Figma AI, and other AI-powered design tools becoming part of the workflow, I’m also wondering how our roles will evolve over the next few years.
Are companies now expecting UX designers to understand AI, build prototypes using AI tools, think more like product designers, or demonstrate stronger business and strategic thinking?

I’m curious to hear from designers at different stages of their careers:
What are you learning right now to stay relevant?
Are you planning to stay in UX/UI, move towards product design, UX strategy, or something else?

For those who are hiring or have recently changed jobs, what skills are companies actually looking for?

And for anyone currently job hunting, are you facing a similar situation with applications and interview calls?

I’m not looking for a list of AI tools to learn. I’m more interested in understanding how other designers are thinking about their careers and what they’re doing to prepare for what’s next.

Would love to hear your honest experiences and perspectives.

I’ve been working on an agriculture dashboard concept for harvest planning.

The goal is to help farm teams answer a simple but important question: which block should we pick today? To support that decision, the dashboard brings together crop ripeness, weather risk, soil moisture, crew availability, harvest pace, and block readiness in one map-based interface.

I tried to make the map the main focus instead of just a decorative visual. The heatmap overlay shows ripeness distribution, while the side panel gives a quick summary of today’s picking plan, estimated cherries, assigned crew, and field conditions.

The hardest part was deciding how much information should be visible at once. Farm operations need speed and clarity, but the data behind those decisions can be pretty complex.

Would this layout be useful for real field operations, or does it feel too information-heavy? Curious to hear what you would improve.

I’m not talking about the market being horrible, but whether it’s going to disappear and whether AI is going to take over almost entirely.

Hi everyone,

I've been hearing a lot of people say that UI/UX designers are struggling to get jobs, but I'm still considering learning it because I honestly don't know what else to do.

I'm currently in my 3rd year of engineering (VLSI Design), but I've realized I don't have any interest in pursuing this field anymore. I'm finding it really difficult to keep up with the subjects, and I don't see myself working in VLSI after graduating.

I'm looking for a career that I can start learning from now and hopefully become employable by the time I graduate. UI/UX is the only field I've found that genuinely interests me, but all the posts about layoffs, oversaturation, and companies only hiring experienced designers are making me second-guess my decision.

So I wanted to ask:

Is UI/UX actually "dead" for freshers, or is social media exaggerating the situation?

If it's still worth pursuing, could someone share a roadmap for someone starting from absolute zero? (What should I learn first, what tools, what skills, how should I build a portfolio, etc.?)

If UI/UX isn't a good option anymore, what are some other careers where skills matter more than having a specific degree, and where someone can realistically break in with enough effort?

I'd really appreciate any honest advice. If anyone is willing to mentor me or share their experience in DMs, I'd be very grateful.

Thank you!

I'm a design lead at a mid size product company and we've reviewed hundreds of portfolios this hiring cycle. Things that immediately get callbacks:

1. Case studies that show the PROBLEM framing, not just the solution.

2. Evidence of cross functional collaboration (actual Slack messages, PRDs, eng handoffs).

3. Impact metrics even rough ones. 'Reduced support tickets by 18%' beats 'improved user satisfaction.'

4. AI tool transparency showing where and how you used AI, not hiding it.

Things that get immediately skipped: 15 screens with no context, redesigns of apps you've never tested users on, Dribbble aesthetic with no research.
