Good to be back guys, been a while I posted here but I'm back finally.
So recently, I took a step into my dream(techie), I started with UI/UX Design, and so far, I'd say the journey's been smooth so far.
With the little experience I've had, I'd say UI isn't really regarded as its supposed to be. UI is something a developer can't do without.
Basically, I'd just talk about my first design and the software used.
I designed a simple Login/Signup page with an easy to use software called FIGMA. Figma is a very easy and understandable software, it is operation Friendly. The interesting part of it, is that,it is free to use(exciting, right). It has a lot of tools to work with inorder to make your design look perfect. It has the Select tool, Shape tools(rectangle,ellipse, e.t.s), scale tool(it help us in navigating different screen sizes), hand tool, comment tool( you'd be able to post your design and get feedbacks from other designers like you or better than you are), and the most of it, which is pretty amazing is the prototype section; you get to run your design as if its ready( you get to click and get redirected to a supposed to be landing page which you've designed. Oh, one more thing,you get to see the codes of your design(awesome right).
So I'd recommend you to use Figma for your designs.
Download the software and install on your laptop from this website : https://www.figma.com/downloads/
I'd be back soon guys😚
