Thoughts on design.
A few days ago, I mentioned that I was confused about what to do. I think I realized why. I'm currently working on my project justreads, and I realized that I have a very hard time from going 0 -> 1 for designs.
I'm just bad at pushing pixels. So how can I become somewhat okay at pushing pixels? I guess there are some design systems that I can learn on how to help, but I feel that the best way to learn to push pixels is to… just push more pixels.
I initially didn't want to do any "Daily UI" challenges because to be a good designer, you also have to take into account the persona and WHO you are designing for. But to be honest, I'm not even at that stage yet. I should really just focus on getting better at creating things from scratch first and foremost. Learning what is the best way to design something without even knowing how to actually design first seems very backwards (unless you have another designer with you, which is not the case).
