In this video, you'll learn how to use Play for User Testing Sessions. Play allows you to share any prototype using AppClips, so the person you share the link with does not need to install any app or create an account. On top of that, Play prototypes adapt perfectly to any iPhone model.  In this tutorial, we also teach how to navigate from one prototype to another using the powerful Go To URL action.

Brands are constantly changing in order to “stay fresh”, but that’s a mistake. Customers stay loyal through habit, not because you've forced something new and unfamiliar on them. Roger Martin, former dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and one of the world’s leading thinkers on strategy, says brands shouldn’t be so quick to throw away their cumulative advantage.   00:00 Customer loyalty–their consciously choosing your brand–is only half the story. 01:00 What is cumulative advantage, and why is it important? 02:14 Just how fragile is this cumulative advantage? 02:45 Example: Tide laundry detergent forfeits its cumulative advantage. 04:54 Instagram redesigns a familiar icon. Why? 06:03 So, should brands never do anything new?

Have some recent feedback rolling around incessantly in my head and it's making me realize: For people job seeking right now, a potential differentiator is going to be the work you do outside your job search..

(c, thread incoming)

Asking for feedback! If you watch this tutorial:

1. Is it understandable and easy to follow?
2. Is it boring or engaging?
3. What about the editing of the video?
4. Any improvements, things that are not clear etc?

Thanks!!!!

Hi Posts! So, one of my case studies has more than 4,500 characters... I've shortened it and added a little storytelling (I guess?) to it to be fun to read. I would be happy to receive feedback on which part is boring or missing details!

I’m looking for full-time or contract to FTE opportunities as a Writer, Content Strategist, Content Designer, or Content Marketer. I’ve been in multiple industries with a focus on tech and enjoy working alongside eng and dev.

I’d love to find my next team on readcv! ✨

At what point do you stop fine tuning your portfolio?

Any designers here successful in creating passive income? I’m talking beer/coffee money not vacation/rent money level.

While I'm squeezing everything I can out of my trusty Pixel 5 camera, I'd like to have a nice (mirrorless?) compact camera 📷someday. What camera's do you guys use and/or recommend? Big differences between older/budget/expensive? Cheaper to maybe buy one in Japan when I'm there?

It's liiiiveeeee: badtype.xyz 🎉  Had a few hiccups right before go-live but got there in the end. Let me know your thoughts :)

Anyone have a great tool/workflow for sharing upcoming availability with freelance clients?

Finding the right typography can be a tricky task for designers, often due to a lack of context specific to the client’s industry.

On Inspotype, we recently introduced two new themes: Finance and Food & Drink 🍝 🍸.

What themes would you like to see next on Inspotype?

As someone who never networks for roles, I’ve always cold-applied for every role I’ve had. I’ve always seen the value, but I’ve not yet found a way that felf sincere to do so…how do you network that doesn’t feel “bad” ?

Whether it's for brand identity or visual interfaces, do you think it's better to customers to launch an all-at-once, disruptive redesign or to launch small parts of the complete redesign throughout a long timeframe?

Thought from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOIRSqNqAzE

have you seen the new Intercom's website yet????

it's not just design anymore; it's ART

So how do people find jobs at startups? 🤔🤔

I need an app icon designer for our startup. We're launching soon and we could use a beautiful icon that gives people a great first impression! DM me if you're available.

I released 28 free website blocks that you can easily copy/paste directly into your own projects. It's made with React using shadcn. Check it out at twblocks.com  ✌️

Genuine question... I'm about to start hiring a designer. I hear so many negative recruitment stories. What should avoid doing as a hiring manager during the process? 

(Disclaimer: This is not my first hire by far but I'm always willing to learn)

I’m looking for penpals in Canada :) here’s an example of my past letter ☺️

Been doing portfolio reviews (for free—hit me up) and makes me realize I miss reviewing/editing.

I know there are a lot of product designers here—did you see the open role @ stripe? https://stripe.com/jobs/listing/product-designer-connect/5835366

Any Read.cv community in Berlin, Germany 🇩🇪?

I have a small mountain of advice articles saved up.. Thinking of going through them to highlight advice that would be pertinent to people searching *now* (because the rules as we know them are very different lol)

Would that be interesting/helpful to anyone?

I made this font and I'm sharing it for free

Trying to find some cool pixely fonts that are a bit more dramatic than this one... Any suggestions?

No posts yet but I’ll have another two senior PD positions to fill over the next couple months at theScore, one in engagement / growth and the other focusing on internal tools. 

happy to chat about either now or once the posts are live!

How do I land a UX/UI job or something freelance? It is so hard out here and idk what to do anymore

So... anyone here that moved into a design engineer position? I'd want to know what is expected so I can work myself to that point.

So... this is intriguing

I need some inspo on how you layout your projects on your site. 

I know a true and trusted simple grid does the job, but I want to push the limits a bit and figure out how I can make it a bit more engaging while scrolling and browsing through my work on my homepage.

I'm so excited to soft launch my new platform today 🧵.

Open Layouts (Beta) is a free open library of the most beautiful & sophisticated designs, including Figma files, Framer templates, and Webflow websites, all free!

I believe in the power of words—whether for inspiration, motivation, or simply for enjoyment— and want to make it easy for anyone to share and spread it. 

That's why I created a website called Kuotes 🎉 (kuotes.co). It's pretty simple for now, but I've got some plans 🤞🏽

For those job hunting:

1: Look at successful VC firms and see what start-ups they've invested in. Look at those start-ups and see if there are openings. Some even have a job board.

2: Look at Crunchbase and see what companies recently got funding and what series/stage. 

✨⛓️✨

I also just finished an animation at Noeste IJver for nature reserve 'De Maashorst', right before I got scammed.. I even added a lovely photography shot of a Wisent! I couldn't wait to experience the clicky photo feels myself 🥲

So are you in need of motion work? Hit me up! 🙏🏼

Nah, old ads are just tooo much lol

Found this website about AI Interaction Patterns, and it has quite interesting information! https://www.shapeof.ai/

Is there anyone who went through recruitment for a new-grad role in the last 3 years who would be willing to tell me about their timeline from first applications to hire, and how they organized the process?

Reward: $5 for coffee. DM me. Limit 5.

Anyone here using Amie Calendar’s pro tier, and who wants to share impressions / thoughts about it? (Either in the comments or DM is fine)

How long does it take for you to design? I’ve never worked for a company FT as part of a design team (only freelanced), so lately I haven’t been sure if I’m just a slow worker or if it really does take a while to design something, like a drag-up modal or checkout flow. Any input?
