How I taught myself Design and shipped an app in 12 weeks

I hate to be the negative nancy here, but there is absolutely nothing in this slide deck about learning design. You learned how to use Photoshop and parrot other designs--and that's a fine start--but you absolutely did not learn any design fundamentals.

Well done and looks good!<p>One thing I would add - I noticed a few clumsy typos in the slides and in the title of this very post. Please do proof-read your copy before you publish for your app. It probably doesn't matter as much here, but I think you can ruin your carefully designed professional impression with just one or two misspelt words.

Why did you decide to go with Photoshop, and not Illustrator? I am asking because I am in pretty much exactly the same situation, and getting ready to get dirty with design skills.

A few things that should be noted:<p>"There are only a bunch of fonts that designers use." This really isn't true. There are about a hundred or so that are particularly common that any good designer should be able to recognize on sight, but there's an enormous long tail, many of which are perfectly servicable for specific uses.<p>"Corrections at this stage will generally be minor" Your interface's visual corrections may be minor, but in terms of usability, information architecture, and so forth, if you haven't incorporated results of real testing by this point, you're in for a real suprise. Especially if you're not versed in design and usability literature, you're likely in for either a lot of frustrated users or a lot of reworking.<p>I'll also just point out, while I'm at it, that on your screenshots page, your Facebook icon is next to the word "Twitter," and proximity implies association.

If you're a web/mobile developer, why not just learn design principles and directly code?

Please, be explicit when you say the word "design". It's not a single skill; it's an all encompassing term that means nothing more than the step before creation.<p>Anyway, good for you and nice slides!

Great Post! I am in a process of learning a visual design tool myself. It was great to read a fellow entreprenuer's journey to this hugely hackneyed notion of design.

This is pretty impressive. Do you mind posting a few links to learning resources as well?

did anyone else think "Desgin" was a new framework for building mobile apps?

Well good for you, im happy you could launch an app.<p>Is it a particularly hard thing to do? Is it news-worthy? I really don't think so.<p>Good luck with your future work.
