Like where is the goto psych/CS UI 101 class/book/YT that over simplifies but grounds someone with no background or previous knowledge? Maybe something like the “Blender Doughnut” of great UI design?
I’ve changed UI twice with an app recently. I have a slight intuitive grasp of what I don’t like, but I lack the language and depth in this niche to express the emotional response well. I have no clue where to start with my own designs if I ever felt motivated to create one.
If there was hard science behind UI design they wouldn’t totally redesign everything every couple of years.
There is a decent amount, these companies just like to ignore it. Problem is, boring familiar design is best design, but that’s not what gets the interest and jobs
