Starting a design project
Tech designer endorsed 14-step guide
1 min readNov 5, 2017
- Ideate in your head
- Pull out pen and paper so you feel like you’re in a careers page photo
- Spend hours trying to draw a good-looking iPhone
- Go on a walk
- Realize you can just trace out your own iPhone
- Squiggle a little, red ink and arrows overlay mandatory
- Grab a beer, more of the aspirational hip-tech-company-photo life
- Open up a sketch file and do your drill
cmd+space → Sketch → cmd+n → A → apple devices → iPhone 7
File → new from template → iOS UI Design - Copy paste the status and nav bar into your new artboard
- Ponder upon the meaning of life
- Realize you don’t know where to begin, so set up a design swarm meeting
- Swarm about nothing, more beers, sharpies, and sticky notes #careerphotogamestrong
- Have an epiphany right as you’re about to sleep, sit up and design the whole experience
- Iterate little, print and talk a lot
If you smiled, even a little, give me some 👏🏽 loving
