After reviewing literally hundreds of UX/UI portfolios I started to notice some patterns. There are five distinct UI levels, or skill levels and only being above 4 will result in getting a UI design job.
Watch the video to find out which skill level are you and what to focus on to progress to the next level faster. Of course it’s all in the details! Become a great UX/UI designer, whether you use Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD or any other tool, it’s not just the tutorials, but rather the right approach – focusing on the right things and the right learning sources.
🚨 This is based on my own experiences with over a 1000 junior designers and their portfolios, tracking which ones later got an industry job and which ones didn’t.
☝️ IMPORTANT: The screens shown as these examples are only focusing on LOOKS, not the UX because the product doesn’t exist. If someone tells you recruiters will analyse the UX and how it makes sense of a fake, made-up product in a junior portfolio then sorry – 90% of the time ONLY UI matters.
When you get your first job you’ll get wireframes and instructions to deliver the proper structure.
This is just to show UI-skill differences.
So…
Yes, I believe you can be a level five designer. Do you?
