We get a lot of questions from designs just starting their career. We hear you and we’ve covered the most common questions in some of our podcasts. Below are three excellent podcasts for new designers to kickstart their career. After you finish these, feel free to listen to the others, as all our podcasts are aimed to help you be a better designer. (With no chit chat of course1)

  1. Ep. 37 – Landing You First Design Job
  2. Ep. 55 – How to Succeed at Interviews
  3. Ep. 47 – How to plan your design career (from start to finish)

We put a lot of time and effort making these and we hope they help you kick start your career. If you enjoy them, don’t forget to let us know by leaving a review on iTunes!

This week, Jon and Chris talk about the recent keynote from Apple. The show starts with a quick product review of all the different product announcements made by Tim Cook & co. Then in the second half, they get into a discussion about what’s happened with Apple over the past 10 years, and why they may no longer be the center of innovation in the post-Jobs era. Stay tuned for a different kind of Design Review episode!

Also… Here is Steve Jobs’ legendary keynote when he introduced the very first iPhone:

Please forgive the popup ads. It’s YouTube, not us… It’s still worth your time to watch it. So please do!

Also, Jon mentioned on the show that he keeps a spreadsheet of iOS gestures, just to keep track of the different multitouch interactions that people need to know and remember to use their phones. Let him know what you think!

How do you create an MVP that doesn’t suck?

This week’s show came to us from one of the listeners. They asked:

How to define the MVP? How picky do we have to be after the devs implement the design? Where is the line?

Have you ever had to make an MVP before?

Jonathan and Chris dive in and share their own successes and failures, as well as their advice on how to work with engineers after you deliver a project.
