Take home ux assignment question - Is it expected to ask questions about research? I received an assignment with a side note that I can ask any questions to clarify it and at the same time they recognise that the assignment lacks a lot of context and I need to make a lot of assumptions. Ideally I would like to know more info from the user interviews, but at this point I'm confused if I should ask for more context or if they are trying to see how I will solve the case with just my assumptions.

It’s definitely a test to see how you handle ambiguity. It’s a test to see how you problem solve and how you work!

I would say prioritize a few questions (no more than 3) and then do your best. This company probably knows their work environment is ambiguous, and wants someone who can come in and handle the ambiguity and who can prioritize their work and figure out efficient ways to move forward!

But yeah if there are pivotal things in the assignment confusing you, try to get some clarity, and then do your best and make assumptions where you have to!

Additional Posts in UX and UI designers 🚀

For those that work at an agency: what does your team structure look like? As UX or UI contributors are you on a creative team, product, something else? And I'm curious about reporting and management structure as well.

I come from a design-heavy background and have been guilty in the past of over-emphasizing aesthetics. What do you think is the proper balance with functionality? How do you think through this?

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.
