Inspiring content from the UX world

We celebrate the International Day of the Master of the Game with a slightly enlarged set of lyrics. Review them all, or let the dice roll decide whether to choose a description of gamification mechanisms, notes on service design, and one of the texts on customer-specific design decisions. You can also stop by articles on the UX design process and two guides to UX research methods.

Don't forget your wishes for Grandma's Day today. Between homemade dumplings and grandma's cake, find a moment to read texts about the perception of the role of the designer, the mistakes made by novice interface developers and the assessment of the usefulness of digital products. In the summary we also have a report on the design of an application activating seniors and a description of the redesign of the UI of the pedagogical game. If this year you are in no hurry to go to dinner with grandma, maybe you will also take a moment for an article about voice interfaces.

Undoubtedly, in the last year a huge area of consumer behavior is undergoing a transformation. This does not leave without an impact on the expectations of online users and, consequently, the appearance and functioning of e-commerce stores. What's changing? Probably more than we expected!

Highlighting your project with the help of unusual solutions does not always give the desired results. Now that it's freak day, let's experiment. We start with a text with examples of projects that comply with the principles of UX art, we go through comments on errors often detected in UX audits and proposals for improving the interface. To the set we add considerations on meeting the growing expectations of users and smaller and larger designer mishaps scored on Twitter.

We hope that this year's last compilation of texts about design from Ideacto you are surrounded by a festive aura. Chances are that you are already resting after the rush of shopping and preparations for Christmas Eve and have a little more time to read. Therefore, we recommend a comprehensive report combining a summary of the current year with forecasts for the upcoming one, another portion of design trends and a compilation of tools to improve work with Figma.
