Never show a design you hate.

It's the one they will always pick.

"Needs clear choreography." Translation: use motion so nobody gets lost.

Tap "New" &… where did it go? Good motion shows what just happened & where it went.

What app leaves you hunting after you tap? 👇

What if you took that AI slop and applied a real-client brief to it? And that client was ASSASSIN FISH! 🥷🐟

@Stoned_Odi @DannPetty Haha, thanks! It's goofy. But I had so much fun doing it. Particularly the historical photographs.

Currently editing a longer video walking through how to build one from scratch with Claude for a totally different, less insane client.

It'll end up in the Git as well :)

ALL over X, all over Instagram, and now starting to invade threads.

The same designs, over and over over and over. I'm so sick of seeing the beige background, with the floating interactive thing, and the left-side Sans-Serif/Italicized Serif text.

Over and over I see this. I'm doing a deliberately cheeky series about applying "real clients" to some of these whimsical concepts 🤘

How to Speak Robot, No. 04: add "Here's who it's for:"

Name the reader & the robot picks the tone, length & words. Who do you write for most? 👇

[𝐐 @QManning]

Robots are great mimics of high-quality design in seconds. But mimicry doesn't teach the why of solution. Why is the heart of UX.

Robots can't understand the motivations that drive humans, because we often don't know them ourselves.

Remove humans in the loop at the peril of your customers, your business, and ultimately, your profit.

WOW! A little early afternoon Mozart courtesy of my PynkPyrl shader's Chladni plate setting. Best with music on! 🔥🤘

Still working out the UX because there are simply so many options I've built into it.

AI is great at designing *a* thing.

Getting the *right* thing needs a human.

Priming: introduce it early, tap into it often.

Same button, same color, same spot on every screen & by the third time you tap it without thinking.

What app has you on autopilot? 👇

How to Speak Robot, No. 03: add "Here's an example:" & paste one.

One example beats a paragraph of description. 👇 What do you paste?

Hick's Law: more choices = slower decisions.

@charlieissland That's a harsh truth but also a great reminder to keep sharing your work. Always have to figure out what's going to get attention.

Lots of refinement & testing.

Thanks to @charlieissland for putting this together. It's a real callout for designers who are often overlooked.

@daoho04 Love that you made the whole portfolio a pond. The pixel koi feel right at home there.

I also went down the fish website rabbit hole. Somehow I came out with a defense contractor for armored fish 🐟

It was at this point that I decided...maybe it's time to integrate some A2UI and try out a different type of UX. Now it's getting really fun 🤩
