One of the most enjoyable lessons from Shift Nudge so far has been creating illustrations from references. Remade On Deck in Figma and it blew my mind how far you could get with simple shapes, gradients, and layer effects.
Just finished the Shift Nudge course after seeing MDS's episode on Dive Club. Gotta say it was an absolute masterclass and would recommend for any product designer looking to upskill on visual/UI design.
I've taken many courses, recently a masters in interaction design, and I've read every book, but your course is by far the most comprehensive, well explained, well structured, and most actionable resource in design I've ever taken.
Two years ago, I had this overwhelming urge to create and define something meaningful to me, not just define myself by being an employee of a larger company. I committed to the journey, completed design boot camp and Shift Nudge, and I'm still learning daily. There's beauty in the growth process.
I really appreciate that I always have access to the course and can pick it up anytime. The video critiques have been fire, in addition to my own I watch the ones you've done for others and am learning a lot.
Before I was trying to learn UI Design by myself without any guidance, but now I'm so glad I found this structured course to pave the way. I'm gaining confidence with every exercise. Thank you MDS!
I'll start with the goat, MDS. Shift Nudge is a gold mine for interface learning! Takes you from zero to hero. It doesn't just meet expectations; it shatters them. If you are thinking on where to start, this is it.
Seriously the best course I can recommend for those wanting to get into UX Design. Shift Nudge is a game-changer for aspiring designers.
If I was in product design, I'd expense Shift Nudge as fast as possible. MDS is unreal at teaching foundational visual design as it applies to today's web/mobile.
Another fantastic workshop by MDS! Thanks for the invaluable insights on UI design principles!
One incredible investment worth saving up for might be Shift Nudge by MDS. Probably the best in the biz at teaching visual design.
Just completed the Shift Nudge UI design course and honestly, this one hit different. I've gone through plenty of courses, but none of them gave me that true 'aha!' moment, the kind where answers suddenly click for questions I didn't even know how to ask. Shift Nudge isn't just another course you finish and forget. It feels like a companion guide to the design world.
Been a bit quiet on here lately. Which meant I've been studying. And with that I have hit a new milestone. The completion of the Shift Nudge course. It's not 'finished' though. This high-quality knowledge bank will be my go-to for years to come. Time to implement.
By building my skills and vocabulary in visual design, I've become a better, stronger design partner, and I can communicate my ideas better by creating mockups and prototypes.
Shift Nudge was an excellent reset on the fundamentals. It forced me to slow down and figure out why certain layouts feel balanced, why some typography choices make content easier to scan, and how spacing alone can change how information is understood.
I would've paid 4x more for this course. Matt is an incredible teacher! This was exactly what I needed to take my designs to the next level.
