UX.Unmasked - My Experience with a Hospital Registration Form

A few months ago, I found out that I had a lipoma on my waist. It was right on the joint. It didn't hurt or bother me but it looked disgusting. I have had it for 9+ years. I was ignoring it. So, I went to the hospital to consult with the doctor. Since I've never been to that hospital, they asked me to fill out the registration form. The receptionist pointed at the table where they put the registration forms. I went there and started reading it. It was in our native language, "Marathi." And I haven't written a single word of Marathi in years. So I decided to fill it in English. After filling out the form, I tore it from the stack. I started walking towards the reception. I noticed the same registration form was in English on the back. LOL. I was so embarrassed. I folded that form and put it in my pocket. I started filling out the English version of the registration form. Then I got to thinking about why they have the forms like this. It's not like the hospit...

Regrets I live with Forever

Photo by Verne Ho on Unsplash Regrets. I have lost my love. It doesn't want me anymore. When she was ready to fight for the world for me, I was focused on making a career for her. In other words i stalled her, at least thats what I feel like now. She was ready. I was not. Thats what it looks on surface. But no one will see how hard I was fighting for her. Struggled to keep her, Struggled to convince hardheaded people. But nothing worked in my favor. She is right not to wait

AI for Parents - Part 1

Photo by Nienke Burgers on Unsplash Parenting is difficult, I know. Lets make your life as a parent a little bit easier. No . It does not involve giving your phone to your kids or buying them a new phone. It includes how any AI app on your phone, tablet, or computer can help you as a parent. Use AI to Teach Your Kids Lets say your kids are not listening to you about how doing house chores is better for them and how it will help them later on. What do you do? Download the chores app on your phone and, more importantly, your kids' phone . Kids get points or badges as rewards. Maybe you pay them for doing the chores. Or just maybe you buy them something nice at the end of the month. You are not wrong here. Well, kids are smarter than you and me. They will get bored in a week and demand something else. All those things you do for your kids are absolutely right, but there is one problem: our kids are born in a different era than you and me. What do you do now? You use AI. du...

UX.Unmasked - The McDonald's Sanitizer Incident: A Tale of Mistaken Identity

A few weeks ago my friend and I went to the mall because we were bored. As usual, we stopped at H&M and looked at a few clothes - my friend was looking for these jeans he wanted to buy since, before the pandemic, he was waiting for the SALE . We visited a lot of shops. Not going to lie, but window shopping is fun. Later, we stopped at McDonald's and got two burgers, which were okay, and fries, oh, I love McDonald's fries with peri-peri seasoning 🍟. Photo by Visual Karsa on Unsplash Everything was going well. We finished the meal and washed our hands. I told my friend we should sanitize our hands because it has become a habit. My friend was looking for hand sanitizer. He spotted it at McDonald's counter, there was only one guy behind the counter, and he was looking at us. My friend took the bottle labeled sanitizer , and we used it. As we were leaving, the guy behind the counter said, and I quote, " sir, it's not a hand sanitizer. It's a table cleaning ...

AI is scary, but it needs humans to coexist

Photo by Solen Feyissa on Unsplash AI is taking our jobs Sure. But to what extent? Can AI do farming, construction, build roads, and 100 more physical things? Yes, but it has not yet been implemented. You can do it. But to do that, you have to learn AI first. But again, some people are stubborn and stuck with old school thinking, which will save them for what, 5 years at max, or just before someone builds physical AI? We are experiencing a future just like we experienced COVID and survived. We need to survive the AI flu, fever, or whatever you want to call it. COVID still exists. AI is just beginning to surface. If we don't adapt, it will eat us up, leave us with no jobs and no income.

LAWS OF UX

Photo by Daniel Korpai on Unsplash User Experience (UX) design is the process used to create products that provide a meaningful experience to users. UX laws improve your design craft and explain why people react to good design the way they do. In this Laws of UX series, I will explain how the UX laws work. Here's the list of UX Laws, Jakob's Law Fitts's Law Hick's Law Miller's Law Postel's Law Peak-End Rule Aesthetic-Usability Effect Von Restorff Effect Tesler's Law Doherty Threshold The Goal Gradient Effect The Law of Common Region The Law of Proximity Photo by Hans Vivek on Unsplash

AI is our friend in need

Why does your design not work Photo by Enchanted Tools on Unsplash Let's begin the AI design quarrel. 🥊🔔 Every startup founder is obsessed with AI design. They are not trying to eliminate design jobs, but they want fast outputs because design is always the first step in the project and product-making process. If designers are slow, then the whole project gets delayed. If designers delay, then the product launch will be delayed.

Car User Experience is Complicated to Design

Photo by Chris Liverani on Unsplash How do people interact with Car Dashboards? As a passenger princess/prince, have you ever felt that the car dashboard is not entirely facing you, but it is facing the driver? 🚘 👸🫅 Well duhh! The driver is going to drive, and how disappointing it will be if the dashboard is facing the passenger. 👸 Car dashboards are very complex to design. When driving during the day, the dashboard should be visible enough and intuitive enough so that the driver can interact with it without entirely looking at it, and it shouldn't be too bright when driving at night because it will grab the driver's attention to the dashboard screen instead of the road. 🚧 How do you design for car interfaces? Let's deep dive into it in the next post. Stay tuned! 🏎️

Law of Proximity in UX Design: What It Is and How to Use It

Photo by Joshua Hoehne on Unsplash Look at a navigation bar. Without reading a single word, you already know which items belong together. The main links are close together on the left. A search icon and a cart button share space on the right. A gap lies between the two groups. You didn't think about any of that. Your brain handled it in under a second. That's the Law of Proximity. One of the oldest tested principles in visual psychology, and once you understand it, you'll spot it everywhere: product pages, checkout flows, dashboard layouts, form designs. More importantly, you'll start noticing when it's being broken. And you'll understand exactly why that makes everything feel harder to use. What Is the Law of Proximity? The Law of Proximity is a Gestalt principle stating that objects placed close together are perceived as a group, regardless of their shape, color, or size. It comes from Gestalt psychology, developed by German psychologists Max Wertheimer, Kurt...
