This is the 21st episode in my daily design series, where I'll be designing a new UI element (or web page) every single day. In this episode I share a client project I’ve been working for Chris over at GoRails.com.  

My goals with this design were to explain what GoRails is all about (at a glance) and show the value proposition to potential customers (that GoRails will help you move from beginner to advanced), allow the videos to be found easily, and feature the awesome step by step guides.  

I hope you enjoy :)

FAQs

- What song is this? 

See above ;)

- How long have you been a designer?

I've been designing for a bit past 10 years now... As of typing this. So it's probably longer now ;) 

- - -

- I thought you were a developer? 

I do both... Don't limit yourself to one!

- I'm wanting to learn design... Where should I start? 

I created a mini course for Developers (or anyone wanting to get started with design) who want to learn design, which you can sign up for free on my website at https://mackenziechild.me/developers-learn-to-design/

- I'd like to hire you to help me solve some [UI / UX / Visual Identity / Branding / Etc] problems.

I'd love to help out. I'm currently selectively taking on projects. Shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can discuss more.

- What's your setup? 

I have a 27" iMac with two thunderbolt displays (turned vertically) that I do most of my work on. A 15" Macbook Pro for when I don't want to be stuck in my office. 

I use Photoshop & Illustrator constantly, but also have played with Sketch a bit too (I'm so much faster at Photoshop so it's hard for me to switch). Also, I have a notebook for sketching / notes by my side at all times :) Can't beat pen & paper.

- What do you use to make these videos? 

I have a Canon T3i that I use for my intro along with a Rode Videomic Pro to get better audio. 

For lighting I have the cheapest lighting setup around (literally, haha) that I picked up on Amazon. Cowboy Studio Lighting I think it was called... And also a big window helps light a bit.

I use Screenflow to record the screencasts and Final Cut Pro to put everything together. 

I get my music either from my brother who produces music (http://www.michael-child.com/) OR from a site called epidemicsound.com.
