If you aren't comfortable picking up a pencil and sketching your ideas, this will be helpful. If you know how to draw, skip it.
Get familiar with high-level principles that apply to any design field (graphic design, architecture, web design, etc.)
You'll frequently see the phrase "content is king on the web" so, naturally, having a good grasp on web typography is super important.
Color can make a design look legit or amateur, so it's important to understand how it can be used best for digital products.
Before you think about what your product looks like, nail down who you're designing for and what they really want and need. Wireframing bridges the gap between this section and the next one (UI design).
How to apply visual elements (color, typography, white space, etc.) to web design.
Critically look at other digital products to learn what about their design works well and what doesn't.
This section is specifically geared towards designers at startups. Design has to serve greater business goals, so there are extra considerations.
Learn some history, hear from some practicing designers, and immerse yourself in "design-y" things.
Description
This list is intended to help anyone who doesn't have a formal design background start designing their first app or website.
About me: I have a Graphic Design degree and 5 years of professional web and app design experience. I'm also a founder, so my particular angle is to be sufficiently knowledgeable on lots of facets of design/related fields, instead of deep-diving into one particular area.
