My camera is the Lumix GX80. It was released in 2016 and in 2019 when I bought it, it was a bargain. I bought it because I wanted to improve the image quality of globalkitespots.com, but also because an interest in photography in general had started to grow in me. …

Wondershare Mockitt review — Should this UI prototyping tool be on your list in 2021?

Late last year I received an invitation to try out and review Mockitt, a UI prototyping tool. I had never heard of it before, and judging from the eminent and annual UXTools survey, it wasn’t picked up by the masses either. I have to admit I’m having a hard time…

Where in the design process are we?

Questions to ask yourself to pin down where you are and what to do next. — ‘Where are we?’ is not only one of my favourite tunes — It’s also a good question to ask ourselves when we join a new product development project.
