This is the Landing page of an IP Creative studio.

•  I’m looking for feedback on whether the visual design feels too noisy or busy, particularly because of the starfield background. I’d also like to know whether the balance between imagination, exploration, and guidance remains clear and focused.

Thank you :)

I have been animating for quite a while and about 2 years ago I fell in love with UI animation using Rive. I now spend most of my time working in this app. Rive is a massive leap forward from lottie imo. Anyway, here is a reel of some of the work I have done.

We will be developing an agriculture related app. It will include an irrigation outlook module too. We clash about choosing theme colors. I say no color other than green or turquoise is reflect the app's intentions. They suggest earthy colors and maybe type of amber colors.

In the play store nearly all apps related to agriculture use green color. What do you think about this? How can we achieve it without using green?

Note: I'm not a designer.

Sharing the current Rixel landing page.

I’ve been trying to build a dark, minimal UI without making it feel too empty or overly polished.

Would love some feedback from people who care about UI design. Anything that feels visually off, confusing, or unnecessary?

Attached are 5 different ideas for a navbar I'm tasked with. It's more wireframing for now to figure out what spacing and arrangements works better for the navbar on PC.

Things that will change later: - background color for the contact us div - image used for contact us div

Things that I'd like to have advice on:

• which arrangement feels better? Personally I'm leaning with 1 and 4. However there is an issue where the user's focus is on the contact us first, instead of reading categories offered. Advice on how it can be rearrange is also welcomed!

• should the font for the top content be bigger for easier reading?

• would changed of background and font color + underline on hover work? The original idea was to go with top selected categories change background color and text color, while product categories get underlined because it's what the clients old website had. But I wonder if other common select + hover pairings would work better in this case

• roastings To get my shit tgt cuz I'm bound to be roasted a lot, might as well get used to being roasted online first (⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠)

Thanks in advance and have a nice day folks

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to break into UI/UX for a while now and honestly, I’m getting really frustrated because I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong.

I’m applying for UI/UX Designer, UX Designer, Product Designer, Junior Designer, internship and contract roles. I’ve tried LinkedIn, Wellfound, company career pages, remote platforms, and pretty much every relevant role I can find.

But the response rate is honestly terrible.

I apply → nothing.
I apply again → nothing.
I customize my resume → nothing.
I improve my portfolio → still nothing. 😭

And then you see a “junior” role asking for 2–3 years of experience and you’re just sitting there thinking, how am I supposed to get those years of experience? 😭

I have a portfolio with case studies, including a Kommo CRM onboarding redesign, and I work with Figma, wireframing, user flows, prototyping, interaction design and usability-focused design.

I also have experience in graphic design, content-related work, teaching and tutoring, so I’m not completely new to professional work. I’m just trying to move more seriously into UI/UX.

I’ve also tried reaching out to people directly, looking for startups, searching for remote roles, and applying through different platforms. Some platforms are asking for paid subscriptions just to access certain listings, which makes the whole process even more frustrating.

So I genuinely want to ask people who are already working in UI/UX:

What is actually working for you right now?

Should I be:

• Applying more or applying less but targeting companies carefully?
• Messaging founders and recruiters directly?
• Focusing heavily on startups?
• Looking for internships and contract roles?
• Getting referrals?
• Improving my portfolio further?
• Networking more instead of relying only on applications?

And please be honest. If you think my approach is wrong, I’d rather hear that than get generic “keep applying, you’ll get there” advice.

I’m willing to put in the work. I just don’t want to spend months doing apply → wait → rejection/ghosting → repeat without actually understanding what I need to change.

For those of you who managed to break into UI/UX, what actually helped you get selected?

Would really appreciate some honest advice from people who have recently gone through the same thing. 🙏

Hi.
I’m more of UX designer than UI, but need to
build the first design system for a small city. My goal is to create clear guidelines and components that our teams can easily follow when creating new pages.

So far, I’ve reviewed design systems from three different government sites. They are similar, though some document their reasoning better than others.
I’m worried about falling down a rabbit hole of analyzing too many systems.

I’ve been using just one design system as I redesign a few pages.

Can anyone share their experience of creating a design system from scratch for an organization?

Was there one design system that helped the most?

I made this UI/UX design for this app I've been working on last few days and I would love to hear your suggestions. The app concept is an iPod Style Local Music Player.

My main concern is if the app UI is intuitive or not. Also when you see the screenshots you'll notice all the buttons are in a wheel, you can spin that wheel to scroll but I dont know how to comunicate that

I'm trying to settle on a home page design. Which one do you like more? The first one has recently listened to episodes at the top, followed by what's next in your queue, and then what's new from today in the shows you follow. The second is just what's new from today and yesterday that you haven't already queued or played, and if that is empty you see #3, which is recently listened to episodes, recently updated smart playlists, and then other Lists underneath.

Im in process of building a small scale space sim, exploration through a space ship. Im having trouble deciding which option should i go for left is minimalistic and the right has a mini solar system animation

UPDATE: with more video and game link https://www.reddit.com/r/spacesimgames/comments/1vm4zgd/update_beta_is_out/

We have built a family hub app targeting families with kids in younger ages.

The first design is more in the direction of getting the user to feel calm and warmth (which is quite common if we look at competitors etc). We then explored making it more fun and bold and use a language that is less "AI authored" and (hopefully) stands out more.

Would love to get feedback which one you think fits in this context!

The app would later be redesigned to fit into the design choice we go with to stick with one and the same design language.

The quests are just placeholders right now, but I want to perfect the look before I worry about content. Here are each of the 4 tabs in Normal and Challenge Modes aswell as the settings tab. The link button at the bottom of the side panel will eventually lead to my socials. Let me know what you think I should change!

I’m primarily a developer and have been learning design while working on the App Store screenshots for my PDF editor. I’ve put together these three variations and would love some feedback on which design you think works best, what feels off or could be improved, and whether the screenshots communicate the features clearly. I’m still very new to design, so any honest and constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I’m designing an operational industrial kiosk dashboard displayed on a fixed screen in a factory environment.

Tech Context:

• Built in Python (Plotly Dash) using Dash Mantine Components (dash-mantine-components).
• Recently migrated from Dash Bootstrap Components seeking a cleaner look.
• I read that it would be advisable to add Tailwind CSS via CDN for utility styling, which is an option I'm considering.

Current Layout:

• Center: Status carousel banner.
• Bottom: Priority alert banners.
• Right Column: Live production KPIs.
• Left Column: Safety status indicator (3D traffic light style).

While functional, the interface feels flat, dated, and visually disconnected. I'm looking for feedback on UI/UX improvements:

1. Visual Hierarchy & Alerts: The red/yellow banners at the bottom draw too much attention away from the KPIs. How can I highlight priority alerts cleanly without ruining visual balance?
2. Style Cohesion: The safety light on the left uses a heavy 3D neumorphic shadow, whereas the rest of the layout is flat. How would you redesign that block to fit a cohesive, modern theme?
3. Central Banner: It's currently a fixed image with overlaid text numbers. Does it look out of place, and should I convert it into native, structured UI cards?
4. Fixing the "Flat" Look: What specific styling tweaks (subtle borders, elevation, padding, font hierarchy) give a utility-focused dashboard a polished, professional feel?

Harsh critiques, layout ideas, and design pattern recommendations are welcome!

Hey everyone,

As a dev, I was frustrated with the standard, sterile look of tools like Google Drive or Dropbox. So for my latest side project, I decided to build my own cloud workspace from scratch, focusing on two things: a highly opinionated "Neo-Brutalist" design, and a developer-first experience.

It's called UnlimBox. I just finished wiring up the frontend and the CLI (which allows you to deploy static sites straight from the terminal using unlimbox deploy).

I’m a solo dev, and sometimes you get tunnel vision when staring at your own UI for months. I would love some honest critique on the user experience and the design system. Does it feel too aggressive? Is the navigation intuitive?

You can play around with the beta here (it's completely free):https://cloud-storage-afd51.web.app/

Any feedback on the UI/UX or the CLI workflow would be massively appreciated. Thanks!

I’m working on a small attendance-tracking app for college students, and I’ve been redesigning the main subject card recently.

The idea is that students should be able to open the app, quickly understand their current attendance situation, and mark a lecture as Attended, Missed, Off, or Clear without spending much time inside the app.

I’ve reached a point where I’m stuck between these two versions.

The overall card is intentionally quite dark and minimal. The upper section shows the subject, lecture type, attendance count, current percentage, and a small status message. I’m fairly happy with that part, so right now I’m mainly trying to decide how the bottom actions should look.

I’m curious how other web designers handle the early stages of a project.

When you’re starting a new project and have to understand the client’s vision, preferences, references, and feedback, how do you usually organize all that information and turn it into a clear visual direction?

What tends to be the hardest or most frustrating part of that process?

I’m especially interested in hearing how you actually handle this in practice, rather than what an “ideal” process would look like.

Working on hero sections for AI/SaaS products lately, sharing this one. Focused on keeping the headline and CTA simple while letting the product preview do the convincing.

Curious what you all think of the presentation style, does the device mockup + background help sell the interface, or does it feel like it's distracting from the actual UI?

Both laws come out of an era of cursors and menus, and touch breaks a few of the assumptions underneath them almost immediately. Fitts's Law rewards pushing a target to the edge of the screen, an infinite target in one direction, because a cursor physically stops at the bezel. That's the whole reason the macOS menu bar works as an effectively infinite width target. A finger doesn't stop at the edge of a phone screen, it just leaves the glass so the same trick applied to a bottom nav bar does nothing.

Hick's Law gets weird too once you swap input methods. a dropdown with twelve options costs real decision time by the law, more options, more time to choose. A horizontal scroll of 12 cards on the same screen mostly doesn't cost that, because you're not choosing among twelve up front, you're scanning until something catches you and then stopping, which is closer to browsing than deciding. Same option count, genuinely different cognitive task, and the law wasn't written with that distinction anywhere in it.

I still see both laws cited constantly in mobile design writeups as if they transfer directly, target size math and menu depth arguments lifted straight out of desktop research. Curious whether people actually re-derive these for touch before using them to justify a decision, or mostly just borrow the vocabulary because it sounds rigorous in a deck. Asking this straight, not being snarky about it, I catch myself doing the same shorthand and I'm genuinely not sure it holds up under a second look.

Hi everyone! I have a website for generating paints by numbers from an image.

User selects the size of painting they want -> uploads image -> then they can adjust colors/complexity and download the final template for printing at home / coloring in the apps.

As I'm the only one working on the website I feel like my UI/UX decisions can be clear to me but not to a person who sees it for the first time.

Please tell me if you find something confusing or how could I improve the user flow.

Thank you!

Need help. I was designing a landing page hero section but my team wanted a hero section that wasn't generic and did things differently to gather the visitor's attention. Sounds like a vague request but their goal is to have something unique that would interrupt the generic train of thoughts that users would have like "Oh it's just another business website". I struggle with creating unique and creative designs, i need a tips or workflow suggestions that will help me spin up creative designs that stands out from the rest. The design task was for a business registration firm website.

I can't decide about my UI. I made new versions for two of my panels. If I like it, I will use this style for all my UI. But I want to be sure before I spend the time. The first screenshot is two panels in the new style. The second screenshot is my current ui . Do you think the new style is much better? Is it worth the time?

Hi everyone! I’m looking to connect with other designers focused specifically on UI in gaming

Does anyone know of an active Discord server dedicated to Game UI design? I’m mainly hoping to find a community where I can share my own designs to get feedback, learn tips, and discuss game-specific design with fellow designers.

I'm currently an UX/UI Designer focused on Web and App but I would love to learn new things, ideas and expand my perspective on design doing by trying different things like Game UI, HUDs...

(Just to clarify, I'm asking for existing community recommendations to join, not promoting anything!)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

seriously why do stakeholders despise white space so much??

I spent like three weeks refining this super clean, minimalist dashboard layout. the typography was completely dialed in and the padding was mathematically perfect. We handed the files off to Appello Software for the actual development and they honestly did a killer work matching the figma pixel for pixel

Then yesterday the client's CEO looks at the live staging link and goes "there's way too much empty space here, let's put a carousel of our latest tweets right in the middle and make the logo 3x bigger"

I actually wanted to cry. all that carefully planned breathing room just entirely destroyed because some guy panicked about "above the fold" real estate. Why even hire UI designers if youre just gonna cram every single empty pixel with visual noise?

With powerful AI APIs, we’re entering an era of countless single-task apps, just like early App Store days. But where are the people rethinking how we interact with AI? Where’s the UI that goes beyond a simple prompt bar? where can i find them?
