We all learn from our mistakes. That’s absolutely okay 😉 ⠀ Experience is not easy, especially when it comes not to mastering technical tools (Figma, Photoshop, etc.), but to interacting with other people as part of the workflow. And the most frightening thing for beginners is that these people (clients) change from project to project every time! A designer needs to find its own approach, its own secret loophole to each of them.⠀ ⠀ And if the way to a man’s heart, according to a well-known saying, lies through the stomach 👀, then the client must be taken by skillful management of project tasks 😎, attitude to details, attention to the needs of the customer, the ability to listen and hear the person who addresses you with a problem 🦻. After all, it is up to the designer to solve this problem.⠀ 

⠀ Novice designers, because of the lack of experience in project activities, tend to make a number of mistakes. 

They:⠀ 

⠀ ✅ do not ask questions or ask too many of them;⠀ 

⠀ ✅ do not explore the market and target audience;⠀ 

⠀ ✅ do not analyse competitors, their strengths and weaknesses;⠀ 

⠀ ✅ do not study and/or compare references;⠀ 

⠀ ✅ do not specify the terms and scope of work.⠀

Bulleted lists: basic tips. UX/UI design

A bulleted list is a typical HTML markup component that is formed using a <ul> container and <li> tags for each list item.⠀ ⠀ On this, we can consider a brief introduction to layout to be completed and move on to design work😎. And it consists in making the perception of the text comfortable and not causing a headache.⠀ ⠀ In skilful hands, 🥸lists become an effective tool for grouping voluminous data and visually dividing information into logical blocks.⠀

👉 Option A:⠀ ⠀ Everyone who booked a room in our hotel gets: free access to wi-fi, access to SPA, free parking, delicious breakfasts.⠀ ⠀

🙌 Option B:⠀ ⠀ Everyone who booked a room in our hotel is entitled to:⠀ ⠀ 🔸 free wifi 🔸 spa visit 🔸 free parking 🔸 delicious breakfasts ⠀ Obviously, option B is more convenient and easier to understand: the necessary list items immediately catch the eye and the user does not have to look for them in the continuous text of the description.⠀ ⠀ It would seem that this is such an elementary topic that every designer, even a beginner, should know about. However, in practice, many designers make a number of serious mistakes that make the usability of such lists hard to understand.⠀ ⠀ To prevent this from happening, follow these basic tips for writing bulleted lists.⠀ ⠀ ✅ Order and quantity⠀ ⠀ If the text is listed in a certain sequence (step by step) or it is necessary to emphasize the number of points (“3 important rules for collecting stamps” or “10 ways to lose weight in a month”), then it is better to use a numbered list. In other cases, a bulleted list is ideal.⠀
