Podcasts is an engaging way of learning new techniques or staying up to date with what other designers.  We often read books, refresh our skills with tutorials, subscribe to blogs and even attend conferences but we most of us still overlook one medium It is an engaging standard that is available in both audio and video formats.

One of the greatest challenges for designers, or any type of creative role, is working with limitations. It’s easy to throw a stream of ideas or styles into a single project, but giving yourself limitations will allow you to truly flex your talents as a designer. who simply knew how to make websites to a web designer because the exposure to fantastic designers, tutorials, recommended readings, and impressive examples helped me build my design toolset and grow my abilities on both a technical and creative level.

My opinion on how to become a better designer, things such as social networks (like Twitter and Face book), design galleries and RSS feeds are at the top of list of things that you should be using to learn and improve.

I think it is important that we take all of these things in self-control and limit our consumption of design tutorials and sources of “inspiration”. While all of this is a great method for keeping up with the design community and making sure you’re using the latest and greatest methods and standards.

1. Bad Search

Overly literal search engines reduce usability in that they’re unable to handle typos, plurals, hyphens, and other variants of the query terms. Such search engines are particularly difficult for elderly users, but they hurt everybody.A related problem is when search engines prioritize results purely on the basis of how many query terms they contain, rather than on each document’s importance. Much better if your search engine calls out “best bets” at the top of the list — especially for important queries, such as the names of your products.

Search is the user’s lifeline when navigation fails. Even though advanced search can sometimes help, simple search usually works best, and search should be presented as a simple box, since that’s what users are looking for.
