Nawa’y nakapag-celebrate kayo kasama ng mga kapamilya, kamag-anak at mga kaibigan nang ligtas syempre. Marami tayong maipagpapasalamat.
Sa simula ng taon na ito, isang maganda paalala na lagi tayong mag-menor. Bumagal mula sa tulin ng takbo natin. Pwede ring umatras at bumalik para magnilay-nilay. Take one step at a time, ika nga. Sa kabuuan, maranasan natin ang balance sa iba-ibang anggulo ng buhay natin.
Sa pagtingin natin sa di kalayuan, hangarin natin na magkaroon ng linaw kung saan natin gusto pumunta at ating tahakin ang daan papunta doon. Isang suggestion ko, isulat mo ang mga gusto mong makamit ngayon taon. Sino mo gusto maging? Saan mo gusto pumunta? O kahit maging malinaw lang sayo kung nasaan ka ngayon, malaking bagay na yun.

The desire to generate income and feel fulfilled from multiple projects will increase retention, increase workplace productivity, and help many projects and companies engage top talent that would otherwise be out of reach.
So, my prediction is that young adults in their twenties increasingly choose to spend a decade of their lives living between a set of rented or swapped spaces around the world, working remotely, and immersing themselves in communities and cultures.
Zwicky’s strategy for solving problems and generating answers is simple. Take a problem, break it down into categories, add various values into each category, and link the values together to create unique combinations.
The Zwicky box: a powerful method for problem solving and creativity
Steve’s first pass is to eliminate images that fail to meet basic standards of technical merit. Shots that are over- or underexposed are rejected, as are out-of-focus images. Even when there are elements that Steve likes in the image, such as expression or composition, he rejects the shot if the technical aspects are not right.

When a single metric is used to determine success or failure, human beings are likely to try to optimize their behavior to improve that metric — sometimes with ridiculous or dangerous consequences. People manage the metric, rather than using the metric to help manage the underlying issue of interest.

Happy new year 2022! Hope you had a great and well-spent holiday with friends and families and with yourself, of course, and an overall awesome 2021. There are many things to be thankful about. 🙏
For the start of this year, it’s a good reminder to always take time to slow down, take a step back, and generally maintain a well-balanced work-lifestyle. It’s ok to take things slowly, one step at a time.
Look back and look forward to gain clarity on your professional goals, and how it would align with our organization’s. In the coming weeks, we’re hoping to make our individual roadmaps clearer, as well as what we would like to achieve for the whole design team.
In the meantime, this is what I could suggest: write down what you want to achieve or accomplish this 2022. Who do you want to be? Where do you want to go? Or even just the answer to where are you right now? Then let’s discuss those in our bilas.
Thanks to each of you for all your solid contributions to our projects and especially to each other in our team. 👏👏👏
Looking forward to more fruitful collaborations with you. 🙂

I’m not sure if it’s only a phenomenon in my brain that the first album of a new artist that I listen to, I immediately like almost all songs in it. Then when I encounter or seek the other albums, it didn’t have the same effect. It feels like a certain standard or image have been imprinted in me about that artist. All other songs were being compared to that first impeccable album that I’ve loved.
Case in point: Oasis’ (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? was the first album (albeit their second album) of a musical artist that I bought with my saved allowance. All songs in that album was monumental in contributing to my identity and confidence as a teenager. Liam Gallagher was my role model both in poetry and photography, fashion sense and the shag hairstyle. The next album that I discovered of them was Definitely Maybe, which was their debut studio album. On the contrary, it was ok, I liked Supersonic and Married With Children.
Not all artists that I’ve encountered for the first time was through a full album. Bon Jovi, for example, was an influence from my cousin and uncle almost ten years my senior. They introduced me to this guilty pleasure rock band through their Cross Road greatest hits album. Then after a little while, These Days album was released. From a different end of the spectrum from Oasis, that album influenced me in romantic and sappy ways. After a decade or so and three studio albums in between, another album came my way, Lost Highway.
I’ll be growing this list as I comb through my personal collection. Enjoy!

I’ve received a message in ADPList from a graphic designer who’s interested in UX design, asking curious questions about the field. It’s a good start for anyone exploring to ask many questions!
Hi I’m a graphic designer who is exploring UX/UI design field. Here are my questions:
Do UX/UI designers have to learn HTML/CSS to create an app/website?
Short answer
No, because you can manage your expertise in the world of UX itself and find partners that will focus on frontend development (HTML/CSS/JS) to create an app/website.
Long answer
Creation, design-wise: No, because at this point you’re at the conceptual / mock-up fidelity phase (i.e., design)
Creation, design-wise: Yes, because knowledge in how to implement your designs will make you a better designer; you will know the limitations and possibilities of the actual website you’re designing; also when prototyping, you can use HTML/CSS/JS
Creation, technical implementation-wise: No, because there are tools that export directly from design to code; there are also drag and drop website builders like Google Sites (optimization for a performant website, is another topic, though).
Creation, technical implementation-wise: Yes, because frontend development is close to UX design in terms of process (design then implementation)
A different answer
It depends — you can simply wait to discover where the road of exploring UX design will take you. Me, for example, I started with my interest in HTML & CSS that’s why I got into web design, and eventually UX design.
Does a UX designer design the app/website alone or is it by a team?
Alone: as mentioned above, you could be a UX designer and a frontend developer rolled into one.
Team: also, there are projects that can be launched more efficiently and effectively when done by a team (two heads are better than one).
Is it necessary to make case studies for portfolio or can it just be designs of screens?
Context is always the key to any portfolio item that you will showcase: what are you trying to say to your audience? Which knowledge and skills are you highlighting in that portfolio item? That can definitely be contained in a case study, regardless of its depth and detail. Context tells a little bit more about you and the project you worked on, to your audience.
It also doesn’t have to be a case study. However you will manage to put context into your work. How will you get the message across? If screens can accomplish these things, then it’s all good.
What are some useful tips to get started on UX design?
It’s ok to take one step at a time to understand the fundamentals of UX. This book, The Elements of User Experience by Jesse James Garrett greatly helped me. Might be a good read for you too, as a start.
Good luck on your UX design journey. Remember to have fun! 😎
