I can see the reason to rebrand, but now we're moving into an era similar to how iOS went completely flat with it's design. It's the removal of any character from the brand and while it's easier to read, it feels dull.

You bet, I'll DM you.

Another great resource thank you! I'll be sure to check it out.

Will do! I'm thinking of using Abstract for version control going forward for those projects. Any suggestions on tools to use?

That's a great idea, and I'm a fan of 80 doing / 20 learning. Measuring that progress over time in my mind can only be done by reviewing work I've done and completed vs only what I know, so that's great advice thank you!

Awesome resource, thanks!

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Thanks for the links and advice Jordan! I'm starting to see a trend here that design and user experience are (from what I can see) actions taken to further a desired outcome which ultimately starts from really understanding the problem to solve along with understanding those people that will use the final product. I'll continue asking questions, building my skills and questioning along the way. :)

Thanks for the time and for the response, I'll take your advice and start with studying the principles.

I never thought about studying the psychological and sociological reasons for design and I'll add that to my list to bake into my journey.

I greatly appreciate the resources I'll be sure to check them out!

Good point, I do admire good looking things that work well. I find myself day dreaming of ideas of my own, wishing I had the skills to bring something similar to life. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll reach out to some individuals and try some meetups!
