Downside of being a developer without design skills & creativity.

--

Yesterday, i created a simple food ordering app for our office. I shared it to my dev colleagues and got a decent feedback (except for the new hire). But when shared it to people like writers and graphic designers. I feel a bit off.

Graphic D: "The app should not use a blue color scheme. because blue is an UNAPPETIZING COLOR", "The yellow color is too vibrant"

Writers: They are blabbing about the grammar and spellings :(

New Hired Dev: Can you share me the codes?

** I always trying to learn how to do webdesign but i think its not really for me :(

    The only peoples opinion that matters in the end is the end-user and yourself. But i will say that i personally appreciate a very well designed ui

    Why not Ask then what you should use?

    And Ask they writers for a list maybe of the grammar and spelling mistakes

    You don't need to know much about <insert x here>, as long as you're able to listen to people who do.

    Ask the graphists for advices on colours and fonts, that's kinda their job to know about this, and I'm sure the feedback will help you make this look better.

    And don't get discouraged by the writers criticizing spelling and grammar, just make sure you correct the errors they spot and you'll be fine. I don't know about the Philippines, but in France and a few other countries, spelling is treated quite seriously, and improper spelling can even be considered insulting.

    Don't feel bad for your app looking bad. Your only job is making it work. Without that, UX guys have nothing to criticize. Or.. uh.. fix.
