Hi, I am not a designer nor I want to be one.
I just watch your videos coz of your voice. It's sweet.
Keep making more content.
same 😂 also her vids are A E S T H E T I C af
... but ... cats 🐈
I agree but the way said it looked sus 😂
@@itsmo_01sussy baka
that's crazy.
omg, just when I decided to start learning design seriously 😂

Same. Im like, "wth kind of coincidence is this??"
This is actually so true.
And then you have the ppl that have no passion at all and being stuck on tutorials and can't make anything new.
hi! i'm designer/developer with 10+years experience. not long ago i found myself drastically tired of IT industry, but your vids helped me return back that forgotten feeling of magic when i created something from nothing. feeling that motivated me start designing long ago. you made me more alive, thank you for that!
Design is an ability, and is not something acquired by passively watching YT videos. Just as watching videos won't build muscles or give you the ability to sing, dance, draw, etc., it won't grant you design skills. Knowledge comes from theory, but skills come from practice.
Great video as always, Jux
I'm not a designer, but this "just do it, have some fun and experiment, dude" philosophy seems to prevail for almost anything you could ever want to learn
as usual cozy, soothing video.. and congratulations for the sponsorship jux!!!!!
Love you videos! I've been designing for over 2 years and feel like I'm getting stuck, your videos help me clear my head
I faced the same difficulties and had the same questions when I started programming and IT projects.
Today, I agree that the best conclusion is "Stop learning & Start doing"!
You have no idea how much I needed that video. I am spiralling around the "am I doing the right thing" point right now and it's just comforting to know that I'm not alone
The best design chanel by far! Just excellent!
The push I needed! Thank you
Thank you for this. I already relate to much of the advice, but there was more to what you said and its really well put and concrete.
Your editing is so fucking dope. It just hits right.
I can definitely say that the advices from video (literally just start doing practice instead of endless learning) are also so great in other spheres. I’m a student of Software Engineering. And starting practicing and creating something by myself was a game changer!
Thank you for the video and I hope that everyone here will achieve success!🎉
Enjoyed watching this while having my breakfast! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for sharing your design journey. I loved the part where you explained the whole process to find inspiration and ideas for your project using Venn diagram. Definitely , I m going to use it.
Thanks a lot.This video is just in time for people like us who wants to learn design seriously.
I really enjoy your content aside from the value you provide, you really know that story telling is the key to the human heart and mind
Love your content! You are amazing!
I was here since 30k, Omw you've come a long way. I'm a bit sad I missed your challenge. I hope to catch the next one.
I'm in love with Milanote! The sponsor ever!
thank you, this channel means alot to me
another great video! love these!!
You are so true! I never "learned" how to design something. I just started making stuff that I like and stuff that has potential but a bad design.. so I started redesign Apps, Websites ... I think that is the passion you mentioned.
Is it only me or anyone else who is in love with this creator?
I totally am awestruck
I can totally relate with you !
i am too following the same thing Unexpectedly
because passion is driving me 🔥🔥😉
Thanks, I needed that today
just simply funny and easy to learn...thats the way to enjoy skills.
love the contents!
ur videos are so good i can't stop watching them wtf
i love narration in ur videos ❤❤❤
very beautifully explained everything
A lot of this applies so much to any creative endeavor!
This is real good advice
100% agree. Now days I come to think that 12 years ago when I started designing I could have taken better approaches, experimenting and re-creating to then make my own. I managed to do it but now I feel like I jumped an important step. So yes, look around, re-create, play around with different styles and then create your own thing 🤌🏻 Happy designing! 😼👍🏻
I'm a programmer, and I loved design even before I was a programmer, but I decided not to pursue design as a career. But I continue consuming design content after all, I love it. But the 3:11 diagram was exactly what I needed for my life as a whole. I'm full of personal projects that I can't prioritize and I was going crazy. I thought the last place I would find my solution would be here, but thank you very much. Everything was completely cloudy and I couldn't even see a way out, now I can see exactly what I need to do. ❤
happy to hear that :D
I just want to see this channel grow to 10M subs !
Hi Juxt,
I really enjoy your content and would love to see you stream your design process! Maybe that's something you could do:) Id would love to see that. Keep it up!
This mindset honestly works not only for designing but for almost every other learning curve. The initial tutorial is necessary true, but only for getting a roadmap of how to do things and what tools are available to you. But at the end of the day you just have to get your hands dirty and design, draw, edit, code or heck solve physics problems of your text book.
This inspires me to be a designer!
thanks, jux! i was having a shower thought and questioning myself if i made the right decisions being a graphic designer after all these years 😖😖
Actual quality design content right here
As a full stack developer I love watching these videos, but I would hate to develop these to life 😅 great work!
The thing that helped me the most is: Write everything down. Ideas comes and go. Don't count on your memory to freshly remember everything. Apple reminders and notes are full to the brim. Cheers! 👍👍
Best contents ever ❤️🔥🔥
Thanks for the 10 points..
and the help
Really been doubting myself a lot these days about if I even had passion for design. This helped when i first watched it and I'm back to say I even got an idea out of nowhere and EXECUTED it. Execution had always been another problem too. Practice really does wonders, who would've thought 💀
i got all the points i feel good about myself.
One major helpful thing for my design journey was leveling up in programs! I didn't start designing in Figma, I actually began in Canva (yes I designed in CANVA. It's really surprising what a few premade shapes can accomplish). I then moved to Figma once I realised what I wanted to do was beyond Canva's capabilities (trying to create a nice logo only for Canva to be lagging like crazy or unable to produce the results you desire is a clear sign you're ready to upgrade to a professional app haha).
EDIT: Even recently I'm learning new Figma capabilities, or new ways to apply features I already knew!
EDIT #2: Milanote MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯💯‼‼‼‼WHAT IS UNORGANISED NOTES AND NOT HAVING A MOODBOARD AND A MILANOTE BOARD SOLELY DEDICATED TO WRITING DOWN GOOD IDEAS YOU'RE NEVER GONNA TOUCH IN 15 YEARS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🗣💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
Great editing btw
time to do better huge help. thanks for this video help a lot
The milanote web clipper is a game changer! No more screenshots 🙌 Thank you for your videos. They are so helpful ❤ Any plans on creating some courses?
You got a sponsor. Yayyy. you deserve it
This is a great video with some wise words. How long have you been in design?
And do you create your own videos or do you use an editor?
Oh please! I had design engrained in my brain since I was born.
I just watch your videos solely because of your video editing.
Right after finishing university I couldn't get a design job due to covid - "only" thing I got was supermarket jobs. But damn that was a nice starting point. I had 8h a day to stare at branding of other products, study them, see which ones stuck out to me. Tried to recreate some of them after work hours. And boy oh boy did every single company love this story / attitude.
Design is literally everywhere, it's wild how much stuff you can study about it nowadays just by interacting with your phone or by going shopping!
Can you elaborate , how did you study brands?
I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
@@shriyasahu7092 Sure! :) My main job was to fill the shelves, so I'd usually have like 10 brands doing the same thing in front of me - selling orange juice or something. I took my time, tried to understand why I prefered some of them.
Was is the wording / sound of the text? Did they go full flat or was there some 3d-elements in the design? What colour palette did they use and did they reuse it in other variants of the product?
Asked myself a lot of "whys" while staring at packaging and sometimes something grabbed my attention enough to try to recreate it at home. Took a photo and tried to get as close as possible or answer my questions my removing parts of the design I thought were weird.
Helped me a lot personally, even though right now I'm mostly doing Motion Design + some Social media on the side. :)
1:41 some people run away from copying others, but thats how you learn the basics
This video kinda motivated me to actually learn designing as frontend dev 😅
Lady.... I wanna know where do you work and something more about you and your path because your videos are genius! Like... I am 26 and your voice doesnt sound like you are older and your opinions, know-how, views and skill are incredible! 😍
Bro, every time I see the cat meme, I get neuron activation. LMAO. This is genius editing right there.
Since that milanote is free, I might as well give it a try. Maybe it will help me, even tho I do have obsidian as a note program. But no one said that I can't use multiple ones for specific things.
As always quality video 🎉 may be the next video could be how to start earning ;-; 😅
When I noodle around with the implementation of a user experience design, I often get the ever-intrusive "but what if it did X" thought, and that throws off the work-backwards approach you're suggesting. That intrusive thought can sometimes just be a better & more memorable experience for the end user.
For instance, on that futuristic social media, what if it included a little deployable frame where they could drag posts they see & save them as in-site bookmarks that they can easily remind themselves of & revisit on another device they log into? Then, when you're making that, you think, it might also be useful to have post & message drafts there too, all in one place, as like a to-do queue for things the user wanted to engage with on the site. Then, maybe you can let the user set a timeout or a max-items limit for that queue. Those are things you can think of WHILE creating the widget, that occur to you during the stage that I think you didn't give enough shine to here: experimentation.
Degrees of design experimentation are a big part of what I think is missing in modern Web design, that the base technologies are capable of some really wild things but the exploration of it is limited compared to previous eras of Web design. If even the kids who made Flash games went on to apply that creativity to Web pages, there would so many schools of different but still functional design beyond the sites you show at 1:25, like what you see on the HTML Review, the Melonland Project sites (+some of the sites in its webring), or the Mercurial World & Virtual Self sites. There are so many things the Web can be that it just isn't. I believe you're fully capable of reaching beyond the sites you feature in the video as your inspirations. The Web is your canvas, and you are the artist. Question the standards, and I genuinely believe you can discover entire new dimensions of creative freedom in webcraft.
I started a UI design challenge two weeks ago and it's tough but I think I already learned so much more than just reading or watching tutorials and following them step by step without really observing. This channel is always so inspiring. thanks for your great content!!
Waa, dudah, I love ya 🤟
Best video ever
2:53 just a tiny nerd note, a 4 way venn diagram really needs to be ellipses. With circles you can't place something that you have passion for + helps you or others
The part about the options ( 07:30 ) is so interesting. When I collaborated with some 3D developers I learned it's important to choose an option based on what impact it will most likely have and how it may influence the process of creation itself. And talking about inspiration, even the smallest details in products and things in general around us can spark an invaluable idea for a project. When I read the title I was interested in what you have to say and quickly found what you are referring to is being stuck learning design, but never designing. Thanks for videos like this. The great obstacle I experience here and there is that when I have an idea, I will often not write it down or sketch because I think it's not the time to write it down, might just remember it until later - well, it's gone by then. Have to get into the habit of writing down what's on my mind. 😀
I'll do the designing challenge even if it was long ago ahahah. I need something to boost my confidence and exp before going in with my first (and big) project 😅
hi, I really like your videos & design sharing, may I know what software you use to edit your video?
🙌🏽🫡. Great video.
This is exactly what I needed! I was focusing so much on not even learning but trying to plan how to plan learning what I want to learn in design XD
Thank you so much for this :) 🩷 your videos are one of the big reasons I got interested in design and UI!
omg glad you found it helpful
Top top content
You say right stop too much learning and start doing.
Thanks madam
2:54 solved one of my biggest problems. What the hell should I do diagram . I wish someday they will teach this school
A great book about design thinking is Melis Senova's "This Human: How to be the person designing for other people"! Her book covers all the design thinking stages and it's an easy way to begin understanding the underlying framework of how designing works. I'm reading it for my UX courses at university rn, highly recommend!
Designers are like the gateway drug to new things and also dismantling Gatekeeping.
What were the points for? uuh, nothing haha! Love it :D
Thank you so much for saying this 🥹🥹🥹 I resonate so much with what you said
milanote is indeed very cool
hey ok so im at the watching videos stage and you have inspired me 2 move to learning stage, if its not much to ask couuld u share the list of resources where u learnt ui design plss(courses, yt channels anything helps) im overwhelmed by the courses i ve saved myself so unable decide which to buy soo......pls thenks. Also big fan of ur videos
More passion... More energy
@Juxtopposed You inspire me to create and I have ideas and experiences of my own that I want to share. Any chance you could share how you create the animations in your youtube videos, so I could learn and find an animation style of my own to share ideas in my own future videos to make them engaging.
she was slick with the Attack on Titans reference
Hey yo, Juxt! Can you share where you find those funny cat reaction pics?
what font do you use? it looks like ibm plex
gotchaa
3:21 Couldn't agree more.
"what the hell should I do" diagram was a nice insight for me 2:59
Juxtopposed from where did you got it?
That diagram might be a little misleading because it implies that passion is a cross section of resources, money, and want to help others will lead to passion. The commodification of art will be its death.
Talent is pursued interest
can u make similar video but about coding
Well I’m a beginner designer but I’m trying to redesign my project’s website but I’m not getting any ideas at all, I have tried many things but none of them look good and it doesn’t make the website stand out, which is my goal. I’ve browserd Dribble, Behance & Layers for atleast 15 min each but still I couldn’t get any creative ideas
The thumbnail has a bezier handle at the top-right (sharpt) corner of the O. What?! :D
The first 1 minute is applicable to Software Development also. If you think, the journey is almost same.
omg the recreating thing is so obvious but somehow didn't click for me?? like that's literally how i learned everything else i do. why don't i just recreate designs i like to practice?
Working in design has helped turn me into a husk.
First :) Love the Video!
