Eigene Arbeiten. How to become a designer without going to design school. I got my job as a designer without going to design school.
I had hacked together my own design education in 6 months while working a full-time job. I didn’t think I was ready but started applying for jobs anyway – and got a job at a great startup, Exec. To be clear, I’m nowhere near as good as those design prodigies that come out of a 4-year education at an elite school like RISD. But I’m definitely good enough to do my job well.

Di conseguenza, capita sempre con maggior frequenza che persone meno attente scelgano prodotti più scadenti ma dal packaging più accattivante, spingendo le aziende a spendere più risorse per il design anziché per la qualità intrinseca delle merci. Ecco alcuni degli esempi di packaging che abbiamo trovato particolarmente geniali: Sketch 3: 10 Trucchi Insoliti per Designers — Design + Sketch App. Qualche giorno fa i ragazzi di Bohemian Coding hanno rilasciato la versione 3.3 di Sketch sul Mac App Store, introducendo diverse novità degne di nota capaci di migliorare l’esperienza d’uso dell’applicazione.

Occupandomi di Visual Design, Sketch 3 è diventato il compagno insostituibile per la progettazione di interfacce web, mobile e wearable da più di 2 anni. “Sketch è stato studiato per creareesclusivamente interfacce utente.” Gran parte del tempo impiegato nella costruzione di un mockup è spesa di frequente nel disegno, nel posizionamento e nell’allineamento dei componenti dell’interfaccia. Come ho già descritto nel mio articolo precedente, Sketch 3 è stato studiato per progettare esclusivamente interfacce utente, di qualsiasi genere, fornendo degli strumenti appositi per lo scopo.
