I have a confession: I’m one of those developers who’s been having a beautiful love affair with LLMs.
We write clean, elegant, production-ready code together. It’s magical. The AI even writes better comments than I do.
But then comes the moment of truth… I open Figma.
And suddenly I’m like a medieval blacksmith trying to perform heart surgery.
I throw some buttons on the screen, make them blue because “blue is trustworthy, right?”, add 47 different fonts for emphasis, and somehow end up with a login screen that looks like a 2009 MySpace profile had a baby with a cybertruck.
My users don’t know whether they’re logging into a banking app or a Soviet-era government website from 1987. The UX is so bad it has trust issues.
So here I am, hat in hand (and shame in my heart), showing you my latest creation:
[Attach your screenshot/mockup here]
Please, I’m begging you — roast me, help me, adopt me, whatever it takes.
I just want my app to look like it was designed by a professional… and not by someone whose only design principle is “it works on my machine”.
Any kind souls willing to throw me a rope (or better: a complete redesign suggestion)?
I promise to keep feeding the LLM good prompts in return. We can be friends. I make backend, you make beauty. A match made in heaven.
Thanks in advance — and sorry for what you’re about to see.
I wonder how to deal this case ?, One thing is Graphic Design and Another thing is Software Design which is a different thing, you may need to look for a Programmer not for a Graphic Designer !
Yeah, you’re probably not entirely wrong there—but I’m on board, too. We’ll manage to pull this off, provided there’s someone here who can really help me out and explain what I’m doing wrong.
Knowing what you’re trying to design would help. I assume it’s neither a banking app nor a Soviet government website, so what is it? The first step in good design is to tightly define the problem. Without that information, we’re just looking at a mystery.
What’s its purpose? Who is the audience? What are the goals? Who is the competition? Who is it for? What else is relevant to the UI/UX?
You’ve heard the aphorism “Form follows function.” It applies here (at least it should).
Since it has not yet been released, I do not wish to go into too much detail here regarding the underlying technical data and specifications. It functions as an agent—and that is precisely what it is.
In terms of design and user interface, all theme properties will need to be enumerated, and compositions must be generated through programmatic UX design. A modern, sophisticated aesthetic is desired; 3D effects are welcome, provided they are not major resource hogs—instead, a compact SVG format should be utilized. The theme in question is “Dark Ocean Glass,” and it is due for a thorough polish. What steps can I take here? What would help me move this project forward? Strict design consistency is not strictly mandatory, as complete “factories” already exist for all layers and systems; only the development of the theme’s specific design elements is required.
As an incentive, I would be happy to offer a test version for evaluation. As mentioned, this is still pre-release. The enchanting Genie…
Broadly speaking, the task here consists of ensuring a modern, clean design that also meets current compliance guidelines.
