https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/840.The_Design_of_Everyday_ThingsI've written about this on lolcow before, but I cannot recommend this book enough, one of my favourites, and I'm not even into design. The author is both an engineer and psychologist and a pioneer in user-centered design. He us the one who invented digital screens on phones so you could see what number you're dialling. He's also responsible for hot and cold water being color-coded and standardised hot=left cold=right. He analyses and talks in detail about mundane things as door knobs with such insight, I never thought I'd enjoy reading about door-knobs that much. It's interesting to see the thought process behind so many things we take for granted today.

>>699684That's a good point actually.
Nvm my post about moving this to /m/, I guess it hardly matters anyway.

fun thread!
i recently transitioned to a career in UI design/research after working as a dev for a period of time.
i'm enjoying it a lot more since there's definitely more creative freedom for the designers compared to to the devs who are essentially handed a schematic to build and have little say in design choices otherwise. anecdotal, but i also just vibe with my design coworkers so much better than my former co-engineers.
>>699658not books and i'm sure seasoned design anons are already familiar with these, but i'll drop a few general links for the tech design noobs seeking inspo:

>>704767I'm glad this thread was made because I wanted to hear some opinions on this situation between Julia Fletcher (close friend of Kel Lauren's and fellow designer/youtuber) and Raissa Pardini. Julia was called out by Raissa for copying her designs and selling them, Julia claims it was inspired by another image and you cant claim a font/aesthetic as your own.
>I was following Julia Fletcher (juliaflatcherphoto) until not long ago. She tagged me a few times in her own inspirations board and I was grateful. But then she started replicating designs of mine for commercial purposes, putting to risk her work and mostly her clients. Left alone the respect she has for my work and for the bands I designed those posters for. I approached her very nicely and privately twice and she blocked me and kept designing like nothing has been said. She admitted the designs were the same in our first conversations (which I have). Today, with no space left for me to talk to her, I had to call her out. Design platforms reviewed the work and regardless what she told everyone of you today, the work is the same. She blocked everyone of you to tag her, comment on her designs, message her or say anything freely. She put the poster on sale on her website and didn’t apology or has been in touch. I get copied all the time, everyone does! But plagiarism is going against copyrights. And all our works are automatically copyrighted by law in the U.K., for a long time. No. 705455
>>705435Not really an opinion on the two designers here, but just how people in the design community preach about how you
should “steal” ideas from others. I think it’s a little ridiculous how up in arms people get about copying ideas. Lots of design is extremely similar these days. Like, I wish the community would make up its damn mind on the matter.
Tbh, both designs are ugly. I think Julia needs to not be so “obvious” about where she gets her inspiration from. I’d be mortified and ashamed if I were her.
