Design Topics (25)
UI/UX Design
0

The term "UI/UX" is often used interchangeably, but UI (User Interface) focuses on the *look and feel* of a product, while UX (User Experience) encompasses the *entire user journey* and overall satisfaction. elaborate

3D Modeling Design
1

The very first 3D models were created using clay and mathematical formulas, long before computers existed. elaborate

Open World Design
2

The term "open-world" itself isn't precisely defined, and games often blur the lines between open-world and other design philosophies like "semi-open world" or even heavily-scripted linear games with large explorable areas. elaborate

Interior Decorating Design
3

The color of a room can significantly impact mood and perceived temperature; cool colors like blue make a room feel larger and cooler, while warm colors like red make it feel smaller and warmer. elaborate

Visual Communication Design
4

The color red is often used to convey urgency or importance in visual communication because it has the longest wavelength and is therefore more easily noticed by the human eye. elaborate

Toy Design Design
5

Many toy designs are initially sculpted using clay or wax before being finalized in digital formats. elaborate

Design Systems Design
6

A well-implemented design system can reduce development time by as much as 30-50%. elaborate

Sound Design (Digital) Design
7

A single sound effect in a movie can sometimes be made from combining dozens, even hundreds, of individually recorded and processed sounds. elaborate

Web Design Design
8

The first website ever created is still online. elaborate

App Design Design
9

The "hamburger menu" (three horizontal lines representing a menu) wasn't initially popular, and its widespread adoption is largely attributed to its use in the early days of mobile web design as a space-saving solution. elaborate

Toy and Game Accessibility Design
10

Many toy and game companies are now incorporating alternative text descriptions for blind and visually impaired children in their online product catalogs and packaging. elaborate

Graphic-Design Design
11

The first known use of the term "graphic design" was in 1922. elaborate

User Interface (UI) Design Design
12

The term "user interface" (UI) was first coined in the 1970s, predating the widespread use of personal computers. elaborate

Infographics Design
13

The word "infographic" wasn't widely used until the early 2000s, despite the concept existing for centuries. elaborate

Fashion Design Design
14

The first documented use of the sewing machine in fashion design was in the mid-1800s, significantly impacting garment production speed and affordability. elaborate

Game Design Design
15

The term "game designer" wasn't widely used until the late 1970s and early 1980s, even though games had existed for centuries. elaborate

Decorating Design
16

The color blue is consistently shown to be the most popular paint color for bedrooms worldwide. elaborate

Dark Patterns Design
17

Dark patterns often exploit cognitive biases, like the "anchoring bias," to manipulate users into making choices they wouldn't otherwise make. elaborate

Accessibility Design
18

Screen readers can be set to "speak" punctuation, allowing visually impaired users to understand sentence structure and tone better. elaborate

Project Plans/Blueprints Design
19

Some project blueprints include hidden Easter eggs or inside jokes among the design team, often undetectable unless you know what to look for. elaborate

User Experience (UX) Design Design
20

The term "UX" wasn't widely used until the late 1990s, despite the underlying principles being practiced for much longer. elaborate

User Experience Design
21

The term "User Experience" (UX) was popularized in the late 1990s, but the underlying principles of designing for human interaction have existed for far longer, evident in everything from well-designed tools to intuitive signage. elaborate

Motion Graphics Design
22

Motion graphics were heavily influenced by the techniques developed for title sequences in early television and film. elaborate

Digital Design Design
23

The first digital computer, ENIAC, used over 17,000 vacuum tubes and weighed 30 tons. elaborate

Game Art Design
24

Many early video game artists used limited color palettes, sometimes as few as 16 colors, due to technological constraints of the time, forcing creative solutions to represent complex scenes. elaborate
