Hello! I'm reaching out to share about a fundraiser that's very important to me. Muhammad, a hardworking UX UI designer from Gaza, is seeking help to escape the harsh conditions he and his family are currently living in. The funds raised will help Muhammad and his family move to Egypt, where they can live a safe and dignified life. The travel costs are high, and every bit of help counts. Muhammad's story is one of resilience and ambition. By supporting this fundraiser, we can help him continue his journey to safety. Please consider donating and sharing this message. Thank you!

Help me and my children we are dying now

This family has a lot of money, while my family and I have no food or drink. My father is dead and my mother is disabled. Help me.https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-alashqar-familys-path-to-safety

Please rank your responses from 1 - 5 (1 being most interested!)

but then you do not include that scale definition in the context of each following question.

so when someone who likely didn’t read the little intro text closely (most people don’t), they see a question of “What types of [thing] would you be most interested in?” followed by a list of things each with radio boxes just labeled with numbers 1-5, a likely interpretation is 5 is the “most interested in” and 1 is the “least interested in”.

some may interpret it as intended as a ranking where 1 is at the top and 5 is at the bottom, but to get everyone interpreting your questions the same, i recommend clearer wording and to label your scale for each question i.e. “1 is most interested in and 5 is least interested in” (you can do this as secondary description text for each question since you’re using google forms).

anyway, if i were looking at the data from that survey, i wouldn’t trust it. the only solid data you could rely is everything labeled a “3” because that’s the overlap in the two scale interpretations. you’ll know what’s mid, at least.

IKEA’s adult furniture optimizes for “Scandinavian minimalism,” which in practice means beige rectangles at fourteen price points. The kids section optimizes for emotional response under strict physical constraints. One produces KALLAX. The other produces a lamp that strangers instinctively pet.

That giraffe is from IKEA’s GREJSIMOJS collection, which launched this month. Twenty designers collaborated on 33 pieces with one rule: every item has to make people smile. The designer, Marta Krupińska, said every person who walked past her desk in Älmhult patted the giraffe prototype on the head. Adults. In a corporate office. Petting a lamp.

This tells you everything about how constraint drives design quality. Children’s products face the strictest safety testing IKEA runs. Rounded edges, non-toxic materials, no cables, no small parts. The giraffe is battery-operated, auto-shuts off after 15 minutes, and costs $39. The designer said she had to redesign it multiple times to meet safety requirements, and each constraint forced a better solution.

The GREJSIMOJS collection came directly from IKEA’s Play Report research showing parents want to play more with their kids but lack the space and inspiration. So IKEA built a 33-piece product line around a behavioral insight rather than a style trend. Cat-shaped storage bins. A stool with antlers. A dog-shaped dimmable table lamp. The entire line starts at $5 and £1 from every UK sale goes to the Baby Bank Alliance.

that's crazy, me too!!

hey! my name's oliver and i'm a user experence designer. my current project is a ux-focused redesign of spotify. to make it happen, i need your help!

i'm doing research to better understand how people use spotify, what features they value, and their level of satisfaction with the current interface.

as part of my investigation, i have created a short survey. if you have 5 minutes, i would be so grateful if you could take it. all responses are anonymous and no personal information is collected.

thank you!

there was no usability research done for this, at least from what i can see

like absolutely no interest checks were done at all or else I feel like they would have realized this is not feasible or at least the way they did it wasn't

none of the paterons mods knew, barely any fans knew (also there was a leak which makes a little worried for their website security)

what i think they needed was some user research before they did the launch. because all the feedback, the critism, the hate (yes even the hate) is the kinda of feedback that would SHOULD have been given BEFORE. during the production stages not NOW after the launch. it would have made everything a lot smoother for them

(by feedback i mean things like: users are interested in different tiers, users are think the price doesn't justify how much product they're getting with the service, users are confused due to misinformation, etc.)

and like testing and interest checks stuff like this would have been essential to make this launch have a better reaction from the fan base

more UX stuff below the cut but

TL:DR Watcher hire a UX designer please this would have solved all your problems OR JUST DO SOME USER TESTING NEXT TIME JESUS

I'm taking a UX design course (User experience) and one of my projects is to create an app/website for a fictional museum. The data I learn would help me create an accurate "user profile" so I don't make assumptions in the design process. Here is the link to the survey and I appreciate anyone who takes the time to fill it out!

So I am using tumblr for a UX test and I need to find dark patterns. I haven't found any yet but but did you ?

If you don't know what's a dark pattern you can look here.
