I graduated May 2023 and I started applying to a lot of jobs during that time but never got replies back. I then decided I wanted to take a break I did not realize it would be this long of a time I would not already be in my field. I don’t really know where to start I feel like I lost touch with design, I didn’t do any internships while I was in school. I was wondering if anyone knew if there were any places/people who talk about being a UX/UI designer and let them shadow their every day work.

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.

Few tips to improve your visual design skills

- Learn Typography: Typography is essential because 60-70% of user interfaces are about written content displayed in a meaningful way.

- Learn Layout and Composition: You don’t need to be pixel perfect, but if you place labels 10px above inputs, you must do that consistently across your whole design.

- Learn Color: Color doesn't need to be complex. Understand how colors interact with each other and learn how color can set moods.
