Just downloaded the updated version! Thanks again for the awesome and incredibly "practical" guide. I keep this in my dock as a constant reference and reminder to keep things simple when designing interfaces.
@kurtisdane You're welcome, that's great to hear that you use it as a quick reference guide. That was what I was hoping. Hopefully you find the updates helpful.
@adhamdannaway I definitely will. I saw 👀 some tips around color tokens and variables. I've been working on my company's design system and there's just a ton of noise/advice out there about it all. Based on your content and approach, I'm thinking it'll help me cut through the noise and implement something straightforward. Thanks again!
@cwbuilds1 Thanks 🙏 Having logical design guidelines to follow really helped me throughout my career.
Launching soon!
Practical has been a good read so far. I loved it so much that I also ordered one for my sibling! Thanks for the effort to put it out there @adhamdannaway 🙌
@af1que1 Awesome, that's nice to hear 😃 It's definitely been a labor of love. I'm really happy with the improvements in the 2nd edition. It just feels like a nicer read, which is great.
This is one of the books I name an absolute must-read for designers. Very concise, full of insights, and packed with practical advice. Can't recommend it enough ❤️
@adhamdannaway Congratulations on the update, Adham! Love the initial release and keep coming back to the book for new insights. I'm sure that the new edition is pure gold. And thanks a bunch for keeping it updated :)
@alex_designer thanks for the kind words 🙏 It took a while, but I'm really happy with the new updates.
Adham has been a constant in the design scene for many years. I'm sure the V2 of his book is gonna be awesome.
@wenjia_z thanks so much, that's great to hear 🙂 Hopefully the 2nd edition updates and the Figma design system starter kit will be even better.
I'm a marketer that knows SOMETHING about design, but I've always found it a better plan to rely on designers. That said, it's also always something I've wanted to understand better. So I'm really excited about this!
@trent_kennelly I've had some promising reviews from non-designers so far, so hopefully the book helps you get a better understanding of the basics of UI design 👍
A huge congrats for this new launch Adham ! This is a very useful resource also for PMs. Thanks a lot.
@marion_hurel Thanks 🙏 I tried to make it simple enough that managers could also learn the guidelines and become better UI designers.
One would only think the first version is unbeatable, but you did it!
Great job @adhamdannaway 👏
@filipgres thanks 🙏 That's great to hear. The 1st edition was a good learning experience. I'm much happier with the 2nd edition after making some improvements.
Really believe the book is a solution to easy learning the professional skills in clean and good UI design.
Bought the first edition of the book as someone with no design experience and learned a huge amount! Applied what I learned and it made my websites way, way better. Looking forward to diving into the second edition!
@ross_zeiger that's so great to hear 🙂 The updates took a lot longer than expected, but I'm really happy with how the 2nd edition turned out. It was worth the extra effort.
Im pretty weak at UI design. will try this tool. It looks like a good option.
@lince_mathew Applying the conventional guidelines in the book will definitely help 👍
No matter how experienced designer you are, you need this book in your library!
@ivohot Thanks for your support 🙏 The updates took longer than expected, but I'm super happy with how they turned out.
@adhamdannaway Great job on the design system as well! Just took a look around the starter kit and it looks awesome! :)
@ivohot Thanks, I'm looking forward to releasing the full design system soon too. It took ages to get it to a point that I was happy with it.
Congrats @adhamdannaway, I love your book! Can't wait to check out your design system 🎉
