As a UX/UI designer, what kind of design style do you prefer? Maximalism or Minimalism? To me, undoubtedly, it is the later, Minimalism. Simple elements can really creat brilliant designs. But, the precondition is that you must have a brilliant idea. Most of the time, it is the idea that really matters. As a designer, what you need to do is to visualize the idea in your brain on the paper or screen. The rest of the work goes to the developer. Just like building a house, the designer makes the draft, while, builders do the construction accordingly.
Today, I would like to recommend you a new-born, simple yet powerful UX prototyping design tool. Yep, it is Mockplus, an application developed by a smart team from the orient. It is just the one for you to visualize your idea easily and quickly, even though you have little knowledge of coding and programming. Of course, if you are a designer or developer who knows how to code, such a feature will also save you from worrying about codes getting messed up somewhere and going through each line one by one just to find where that errant code is.
