How to Learn UI/UX — Tools and Videos #Design

Do not ever limit yourself. There are enough avenues to learn. Learning is not just about taking it in. You need to take it in and be able to pour it out. Designing is mostly about the visuals. You will agree with me that some visuals are just more impeccable to ignore than others.

There are visuals that require intepretations. So many numerous categories that we can ascribe to each and every design. The consumers of these designs get to determine a lot about the influence of designs.

That said, here are tools where some have videos to help you in your journey to becoming a MASTER or SENSEI in UI/UX designs.
