10 Minutes Of UX

After my long 3 weeks hiatus, I'm back with the intro to Design Systems. In this episode, I explained rather than define what Design Systems mean. I do hope that you can grasp the meaning and fully understand the concept. In the next episode, I will be talking more about Why Design Systems and How to Create One.

In this episode, I talk about Usability Testing, how to create a plan and the metrics for easy analysis. You can access the Notion Template here and duplicate it for your own use - http://bit.ly/UsabilityTestingNotion

Work with developers, own your design process and smile when you see your designs go LIVE. In this episode, I talk about managing collaborations with Developers. 

Asking the right question determines the research insights you will get. In this episode, I talk about the approach I use to building the right research questions and engaging stakeholders in the research phase. I will update the description link with the Notion template and google docs template. You can also reach out to me via Twitter and Linkedin @praizux for the links.

Planning for user research can be clueless sometimes. In this episode, I talked about building research plans and the contents of a research plan. If you're looking for sample research plans, you can take a look at this - http://bit.ly/uxresearchplan

In this episode, I talk about the role of icons and consistency in Design. I also mentioned where to get icon packs for your designs. I struggled to remember this website for the dual-tone icons - https://iconscout.com/

Have fun as you design.

In the previous episode, Ep.26, I talked about Human Interface Guideline. In today's episode, I am concluding with Material Design (Material.io). Designing for android? Then you need to look at the Material Design Guideline.

Have you ever taken a look at the Human Interface Guideline by Apple? In this episode, I talk about the Human Interface Guideline, what to expect, how to use it, and how I use it.

Job hunting is not a funny experience. In this episode, I talked about managing the job-hunting process and shared some tips for you. 

In this episode, I talked about how to utilise templates from Miro, Pitch and Almanac. 

You do not need to be a designer to access all these templates. 

The templates would help you make a better presentation of whatever you're doing.

I took a little break to join the #ENDSARS protest.

While I was away from here, I was recording on The NG Observers podcast. 

You should listen to me give updates on the protest in Nigeria Pidgin English.

Have you created and shared any resources for the Community?

User Research or Design, you will definitely work with stakeholders. In this episode, I talked about working with stakeholders, understanding their goals, needs, and measuring KPIs.

In this episode, I talked about wireframes and prototyping.

In this episode, I explained my understanding of Information Architecture, User Flow, and User Journey. These terms are sometimes confusing and mistaken for what it is not. 

Information Architecture - The ease of finding things.

User Flow - The process to take action.

User Journey - Scenarios for your users.

I'll also love to know what you think about these terms and how you understand them.

Cheers! 

In this episode, I talked about design systems, what they mean, how to use them, where to get them, and my experience with design systems. Interestingly, I'm currently working on an open-source design system that would be released soon. 

I titled this episode "No Vibes" because I actually had no vibes to record this week.

Hopefully, the next episode will be loaded with your favourite UX gems. 

I talked about the interesting things I did this week, work, music, making new friends, and dropping out from my exams.

Giving this episode a name was quite difficult. I talked about the different places you can showcase your works as a designer.
