Function over fashion. Doesn't matter how creative it is, if people can't use it what's the point.

If that's the title that best sums up the work you did then of course :)

Maybe this isn't necessarily the place to discuss this, but what do people think about the often long-winded processes required for designers interviewing for companies?

Often if a design task is required it can require 10s of hours of your own time (paid or unpaid). Unless the time estimate associated with the task is perfectly accurate I feel it quickly makes applicants doubt their own ability and also makes it a nightmare to figure out when they should stop and actually hit submit.

As someone who has quite a busy schedule this has always put me off applying for roles in the past. It also means I struggle to build a 'competitive' portfolio to accurately reflect my skills.

It's also worth noting that asking an interviewee to work on part of the companies product as a task is a horrible way to go. Their knowledge and resources will be so limited the work is never going to accurately reflect what they could do if they were employed.

Fantastic insight thank you Daniel. I'm a huge fan of companies like Monzo and Revolut here in the UK, I didn't even realise Up existed!

Sync across devices is a must for me. Being able to tweak the typography is always a nice bonus.

Really nice when you understand how the site works. I didn't realise I had to wait on a value for ages before it brought up extra info.

I like it.

Definitely I get -3 points for that post
