I recently spoke about ‘Creativity within Constraints’ at the Singapore Product Design event, and I have finally penned down my thoughts in this article ✍️

It includes a few key questions I ask myself about my designs, which serve as my compass for creating designs for impact ✊

What’s the most ridiculous way to improve your visual design skills? 🎳

Take a break from books, case studies, and video tutorials. Here’s a curated list of entertaining UI mini-games to strengthen your design principles and develop your designer’s intuition.

(Curated by @Swagarwal_66 , mentor and instructor at our Product Design Fellowship ✨)

🔸Explore User Inyerface (https://t.co/s8Wq05i2K3), for a challenging yet hilarious exploration of user interactions and design patterns. And no, the website is not faulty!

🔸Want to develop a critical eye for the subtle differences that make one design more effective than the other? Try out Can’t Unsee (https://t.co/P8B7dBzeep)

🔸Play The Boolean Game (https://t.co/3f7lhsj1g7). Learn to create icons by combining shapes in various ways, leading to countless possibilities

🔸Improve your proficiency in using the pen tool with Beziers (https://t.co/xzekOqfFht)

🔸Try out Shape Type (https://t.co/2nKszZQXfX) - A letter-shaping game to help you create your own typeface, again focused on the pen tool

Get your game on and challenge your colleagues to see how you stack up against them!

Incredible how one artist, @MrUgleh created a new branch of AI art 🌀

Say what you want, but this is creative, novel, and endless. Incredible to see the community pick this up so fast

Below are some more examples and how to do it yourself 🙌🏻

Look at the crowd that showed up last week!

First in person talk ✅

NEW PROJECT: How (not) to get hit by a self-driving car 🚗⚠️💥

A street-based game that challenges visitors to avoid being detected by an AI-powered camera. Can you fool the AI and reach the goal?

Collab with @tomokihara as part of @wshed @PlayableCity

This is happening today! I’ll be ranting about design, adapting and thriving through the design process ✨

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

This was such a fun chat! 🎉

Thanks to @mahima_chandak for always asking the most interesting questions, all the fellows for being so interactive and @ownpath_xyz for having me ☺️

[ownpath @ownpath_xyz]

We absolutely loved it when @Swagarwal_66 shared what remains consistent for her when working in both consulting and product roles! 💜

Here's a snippet from our recent fireside chat with @Swagarwal_66 and @Mahima_chandak:

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

Amazing designers from two of my favourite teams have put so much love into this 💚

@shreyas_satish @mahima_chandak @ownpath_xyz Thanks for having me! ❤️

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

Yesterday my girl @mahima_chandak hosted me at @ownpath_xyz for a fireside chat and we had a cute moment ❤️

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

@designermaybe @mahima_chandak @ownpath_xyz Happy to hear that! ☺️

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

If you can’t declare your love to me in a chat with 20 people, then do you even love me?

[Brian 🇵🇸 @briandito]

Every night. Sunday until Thursday.

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

@vinaysshenoy Where did you find this?

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

@TheKawalOberoi Must try the food at The Oota Company, Filter Coffee, and No. 10 Fort Kochin. And check out all the events at The Courtyard.

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

Haven't been feeling very inspired lately but these satirical UIs by @soren_iverson helped.

Google Maps option to race to a location

Can I have this sticker for every event?

[Jian Wei @madebyjw]

One of the many things I have learned from the @Figma Design Conference is that the majority of attendees are introverted. #Config2023

[Shreya Agarwal @Swagarwal_66]

Always learning new things with @ownpath_xyz

[ownpath @ownpath_xyz]

Always wanted to build a learning space where the line between mentors and learners is blurred.

Last weekend was just that. Had a workshop with @sambert for senior designers on managing design teams.

Was so nice to have the mentors from the Product Design Fellowship join in! ✨
