How do you handle UX Design?

How do you handle design when working a project that doesn’t have explicit design guidelines?

I’ve been working on some personal projects, but I am continually getting held up on design. I hate looking at a blank page, not knowing where to start. I’m not a particularly creative person in art and design and I really struggle to come up with new ideas on my own. I don’t enjoy it.

I’m the kind of person who buy 10 plain black t-shirts and 5 pairs of plain jeans so I never have to think about style.

I’m sure there are a lot of us out there; you can make the thing but, not design it. How do you work that part of the process?

I don’t want my projects to get skipped over because they’re ugly and I don’t want to copy other designs pixel for pixel.

Whats something that is only worth getting the expensive version of?
  • Now that more devices are on USB-C, but the standard isn’t labeled well, it’s worth getting a good cable/charge block that will regulate power appropriately.

    Adam Savage had the team that does CT Scans of various products and you really can start justify why some good charging cables cost $100.

    I probably wouldn’t spend that kind of money but I’m willing to spend more on one really good one that I can use in many devices.

  • exercise for us?
  • I feel you. I am like this with so many things.

    When I started going to the gym, the only way I could get myself to go was to watch a show on my phone while working out. The catch is, I told myself I was only allowed to watch the show while I was working out. If I want to know what happens next, I had to get on a treadmill.

    I fell out of the habit last summer and getting back into it has been a huge struggle.

  • Stop using Fandom
  • TLDR; Fandom has a lot of QAnon articles written by themselves to make themselves seem legitimate to less computer savvy people.

    My mom has fallen in a Qanon conspiracy world. The people from that world, who are also very scammy, write Fandom articles about themselves to make it seem legitimate. I found them when I started investigating these people trying to convince her to steer clear.

    I don’t trust a single thing on Fandom anymore.
