Baseline

We created baselinehq.com because we believe: 1. High-quality #design curriculum should be available to everyone for free 2. Access to expert design #coaching should be flexible and affordable 3. Online education should respect people’s rights, #privacy, and autonomy

@MyndexResearch @tombyrer @jmspool Thank you for the critique and discussion! Would you mind if we link to this thread in the blog post? ^andrew

@tombyrer @jmspool @baseline_hq The upshot to all of this: significant luminance contrast is needed for differentiation, and protan (1% of population) always sees reds darker. Reds and blues should be the darkest of a color pair, and significant green needs to be added for red or blue to be the lighter color.

Colors are an important component of an app or website's design. However, using certain colors can exclude large portions of your user base. @baseline_hq explains how to be inclusive with your design by offering alternatives to a red/green color scheme. baselinehq.com/blog/colourbli…

I have started learning about design with @baseline_hq but they do not only teach design. I learnt a tick from them on Productivity. Here is planner template. #learning #100DaysOfCode #Productivity baselinehq.com/1-how-to-succe… baselinehq.com/r/1-daily-plan…

There are thinking problems and feeling problems. When you try to think your way through a feeling problem, or feel your way through a thinking problem, you often just spin your wheels. It takes wisdom to match the kind of problem you have with the better way to approach it.

@apoorv_taneja I am following this. This is awesome as they focus on the basics first even before you think of any design tool. baselinehq.com

@katylcowan @creativeboom Absolutely — I’d been thinking for a while about creating a free design course for everyone, but especially for those unable to access paid bootcamps. Seeing the mass of job losses led me to quit my job and just do it. Would love to talk more! ^andrew (andrewwilshere.com)

If you're a UI beginner, please avoid daily challenges. As a beginner it's best to go slow and steady and build a solid design process first. Then, design challenges will actually hold more value (as quick practice)

If you surround yourself with great people, you're going to get better faster. But the price you pay is the constant feeling of inadequacy. 1/5

The SCAMPER technique can supercharge your idea generation as a designer. Give it a try! buff.ly/3gro2lo #designinspiration #designhacks #uiuxdesign

When we set out to create Baseline, the free design bootcamp, we had no budget. So we asked ourselves what features could be “subtracted” — and ended up with a more coherent and consistent product as a result. Read more: buff.ly/3goBB5q #uxdesign #casestudy #startup
