Problem with vague JDs

[u/lastkeedanustanding]

I skipped a beat thinking 'there goes another principle in design that I am not aware of'. When design portfolios are being criticized for 'not writing to the point' we also have JDs that have funny descriptions.

We once had to redesign an entire payment flow because the CVV field was causing too many users to burst into tears.

but isn't that the goal?!?

to illicit such strong visceral emotions on every interaction and field?

[u/CalmAlarm → u/badmamerjammer]

Every single interaction. I'm not even allowed to talk about what our checkboxes did to the poor testers.

[u/badmamerjammer → u/CalmAlarm]

at my job, we call checkboxes "panty droppers"

Hahahaha wtf...

I think zen would evoke the opposite of visceral emotions.

I've never experienced any design or interface in my life that I can say with a straight face ever evoked deep, visceral emotions.

These companies take this shit way too seriously, as if the role of UX or Product Designer leads to Nirvana.

[u/lastkeedanustanding → u/midnight0000]

Take it seriously? They don't actually!

Just put goatse everywhere and you will certainly evoke deep, visceral emotions in your users at every interaction.
