UI/UX, logos, slides, and image generation (7.4K skills)
Review menus, lists, and guided steps using the tendency to remember the first and last items best. Place important information where it is more likely to be recalled, and distinguish essential items that must remain in the middle.
Design loading experiences that show users what is happening while content arrives. Choose placeholders, progress indicators, gradual content display, or immediate previews of expected results, with transitions and failure handling suited to the wait.
Review interfaces that work correctly but feel impersonal. Starting with the user's emotional state, it suggests changes to wording, motion, and response timing so loading, errors, onboarding, and success feel more considerate and appropriate.
Choose a design direction using criteria agreed before comparing options. Produce a decision record explaining the winner’s trade-offs, what rejected concepts tested, why they lost, and what evidence or conditions would justify reconsidering them.
Create a consistent text system for digital interfaces, with related font sizes, weights, line heights, and letter spacing. Set rules for headings, body text, and captions, including font choices and adjustments for mobile screens.
Design a first-use experience that guides new users from signup to a meaningful action. Plan setup steps, contextual guidance, empty screens, and sample data, with measures for understanding where users get stuck or leave.
Define an illustration style guide for a product, covering shapes, linework, colors, detail, and placement. Set consistent rules for different uses, with character guidance where relevant, to support commissioning and shared production.
Design a search experience covering query input, suggestions, result layouts, filters, and helpful responses when nothing matches. It also identifies search metrics that reveal missing content, weak rankings, and places where users struggle to find information.
Plan the content a product needs, how it is organized, and who maintains it. Review existing material, define reusable content types, establish writing guidelines, and document ownership, approval steps, and review schedules.
Compare competing products by features and user experience, including the steps people take to complete tasks. Produce comparison tables, competitor profiles, and improvement opportunities based on strengths, friction points, and unmet needs.
Plan app interfaces around iOS and Android conventions for navigation, controls, gestures, and text sizing. Compare platform differences and decide which behaviors should follow each operating system and which visual elements can stay consistent across platforms.
Build a product color system with light-to-dark scales, neutral colors, and roles for messages such as warnings or errors. Define usage rules and check foreground and background contrast to support accessible, consistent interfaces.
Design layouts that guide the eye through aligned elements and continuous paths. Apply this visual principle to forms, timelines, carousels, and step indicators, using deliberate breaks to show boundaries and changes in hierarchy.
Review forms, settings, and workflows to decide which complexity users should handle and which the product should absorb. Identify unnecessary effort, improve defaults, and check whether simpler screens create extra work elsewhere.
Choose charts for comparisons, trends, distributions, and relationships, then design axes, labels, and visual cues. Make the data easier to read with annotations, accessible styling, and layouts that remain useful on smaller screens.
Organize forms, cards, headings, and actions through spacing. This skill applies proximity, the principle that nearby elements appear related, to make groups and relationships clear without relying on borders or labels.
Write specifications for a reusable interface component, covering its parts, settings, variants, states, and behavior. Give designers and developers shared guidance on accessibility, keyboard interaction, edge cases, and appropriate use.
Build a consistent process for reviewing design work from concept through implementation. Define checkpoints, review criteria, checklists, and approval steps, adapting the process to each project's size and risk.
Structure a design presentation around its audience and the decision you need. Organize the problem, design journey, proposed solution, supporting evidence, and final request, with guidance on slide content and speaker notes.
Audit accumulated design inconsistencies across a product, including visual differences, navigation problems, accessibility gaps, and outdated documentation. Classify issues by severity, frequency, and repair effort, then create a prioritized improvement plan and an ongoing issue register.
Design forms from field order and grouping through validation and completion. Define suitable input controls, helpful error messages, progress saving, and accessibility details so people can understand what to enter and how to correct mistakes.
Review screens with too many choices and suggest clearer grouping, defaults, and options revealed only when needed. Apply Hick's Law, which relates choice count to decision time, to help users navigate menus, forms, and other interfaces.
Design confirmations, status messages, and notifications that help users understand whether an action registered and what happens next. Choose suitable placement, timing, and feedback channels, with undo options and accessible cues where appropriate.
Plan how teams will adopt an existing design system, a shared set of design components and guidelines. Develop onboarding materials, migration support, and measures of usage while addressing barriers faced by designers and developers.
