Design Critique Club

Moved from 8 long case studies to 3 focused ones, each with: problem, my role, 3 key decisions, outcome. Already got 2 interview calls this week. Thank you all! 🙏

Things to say instead: • 'Users aren't noticing X, how can we make it more discoverable?' • 'This screen has 3 primary actions, which one matters most?' • 'This feels busy, what can we remove?' Describe the problem, not the solution.

Our designers create dark mode by inverting the light tokens. Results are... mixed. Do you design dark mode separately?

1. Audit: screenshots of every button, input and card in the product (we had 23 button styles 😱) 2. Tokens first: colour, spacing, type. Shipped as CSS variables, so old components picked up some changes for free 3. Rebuilt the 10 most-used components, migrated screen by screen 4. Lint rule flags old components in

I'm switching from civil engineering to UX. My case studies are really long because I show every step (personas, journey maps, wireframes, iterations). A senior designer said 'nobody reads all this'. How much is the right amount?

Post your work and get honest, kind feedback. A few norms: • Give context: who's the user, what's the goal, what feedback you want • Critique the work, not the person • If you take feedback, give feedback Intro thread: what are you working on?
