UX/Design resources I love

• Twitter thread "Little UI Details"

  "A collections of little tips from @steveschoger to improve your visual design skills with the little details that make a big difference 👏"

• Article explaining the tips seen in the thread above

• Web Design in 4 minutes

• UX Quiz: "Can't Unsee" Trains Your Eyes

• If you can't see why one design is "better" than another, then look closer and take your time. Learn to see. Being able to quickly differentiate/identify different things (training your senses) is a big part of building any skill.

• I flicked through "The Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams in a book store once and my mind exploded. Over and over it demonstrates the value of four things: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity.

• Little Big Details is a blog that highlights tiny moments of UX delight. (I'd rather share a "best of" little big details, as an intro to the topic.)

• Visual Hierarchy

• Color theory

Tools

• Twitter thread that demonstrates many design/UX tools

  • TIL: Color Resources
  • Color format conversion tool (always looking for a better one though)
  • Color Scheme Tools
  • Color Picker Tool (wanted: a better color picker tool for use on Windows trying)
• Mockup tools
• Typography: need resources on terminology, font choice/tweaks and "thinking in fonts".
• Font Pairing
