Hello everyone, my name is Vansh and I’m a frontend developer. A lot of people have asked me this question,”Do I need to learn design to be Front end developer?”
Before I answer this question first you need to understand that many companies do have in-house UX/UI designers, who will do the designing part and build mockups while you can concentrate on the development part. It’s our task to give life to mockups, to make them interactive.
But what if you don’t have a designer or you’re building some side project for yourself, and when you have one, they’re not always available because they have a lot of work or maybe if some mockups are missing.
So you cannot always be dependent on a designer to make minor changes to the design as well.
And you having a design sense is of considerable value for you and your team.
See I’m not saying you need to be a designer nor we are here to replace them.
But it wouldn’t hurt for you to pick up some designing skills as well.
And it definitely helps to have a creative eye and develop knowledge esthetics.
So in this blog post, I’m going to share how you can build interfaces/apps that look good by just following these 7 UI fundamentals.
