Hello. Uh This is the other side of my office. You normally looking from that way across this way, this is that way, looks like my junk and my sound boards to try and make it sound nice. Uh, and it's night time, it's not kind of moody. It's just actually dark. Uh, it's about 11 o'clock at night and we're making courses for us. Um, and in this video, we are going to be looking at something called fig a mirror. What is it? It's a way of testing our, you know, we're on the computer trying to design a phone website, a mobile first website. Ok. Or an app. Ok. There's no point spending all your time on there. You need to be testing it on the device, that thing. Ok. So there is an app you can download from either the Android or the, um, Mac app store. You can tell I don't use it. Um, but it's called Fig Mirror. They might be changing that name. Um, check in the comments if they have updated it, but it's called fig A mirror. You sign in with your fig a user name and password then somehow magic...

ally just how it's happening. You don't have to be on the same network, it's magic. Um And basically what happens is uh can I show you here? Um I'll show you, can you zoom in on that? You kind of can basically if I click on different things here on my desktop, you, you can't see what I'm doing over here. But if I click on my details page, where is it, details page there, It is click on my check out. So it's kind of live updating and even better. It's actually live and interacting. So will this work? Maybe? So click on my home button. What can you say home button? Home button's too small. Cos I can barely click on it and you can't see what I'm doing. Buy now button. Look there. Ok. Now, purchases, what is it focusing on? Is it focusing on the right thing? Maybe fades? Oh, look how good this is. So I can actually work on it. And the big thing I'm gonna show you is the buy now button is too small. The text look fine on desktop but it's teeny tiny in there. Ok. The purchase button looks all good. We're gonna go to buy now. Um How is this filming the camp? This is probably terrible. But hey, that purchase button feels good to me. I'm finding it very hard to click on the buttons along the NAV as well. They just need to be. They don't need to be bigger, they need to be smaller with a bigger area around them. So a frame to make them bigger logos, too small text on the purchase page is good with the checkout page. Um And I do get stuck on the Learn More page. I don't have any sort of like prototyping off the uh the um more de product details page. I forgot to add it. You probably saw it in the last video but it's when you get to this kind of stage and you're like testing it on your own. You're like, oh, I forgot that bit. Well, that's way too small or that's a hideous color green. Ok. So um actually that's probably pretty good and 01, let's do a live update. Cos that's pretty cool. I'll I'll adjust the zoom so we can do it a little bit better. You wait there, I'm gonna change the camera. Alright. So probably should have done this at the beginning. Uh watch this it live updates. I'm moving stuff around on my desktop. So you're looking at my laptop there, my phone over there. Um and yeah, you can just kind of work. So when I'm working, especially at this initial stage getting font sizes and stuff ready. Uh I just kind of like I don't have it propped up. I just have my phone lying down on the ground. Uh but so you can see it. Um this is really handy. Now I can go through and say actually font size here. What do I wanna do? It's a group. So I'm gonna go into my group and I'm gonna use up and down until I find something. What I'm looking at is I am keeping my eye out on my phone here. Ok. That's what I'm looking at. I'm like, is that an approachable fi uh, size? What you'll find is pretty much always 16 is good. Ok. You can't see it cos it's on this side of my, uh, desktop, but I've gone to 16 points that generally is and brain. A good one. Gay can't wreck it. 15 if you're trying to be cool and fancy and trying to keep it small. But if you get down around the twelves and 13 points, it becomes quite a tricky thing to, it's fine for some things, but for a big old click now, buy button, it feels a bit small. So I wanna go through and let's make this a bit bigger and the cross center them together there. I don't have to do the same for the, uh, learn more button. It's hard doing it one handed. I need my hands over here, but I don't want my hairy knuckles in the video, but you get the idea, you can make changes really quickly, be seeing what it looks like on a phone. Ok. It's pretty much instantaneous. I'm, I don't know. I'm pretty amazed by how that works. So, yes. If you're designing for tablet, have a tablet, if you're designing for desktop, it's a bit easier. Cos you can just do it on your desktop, a mobile phone or an app. OK? Or a mobile first website, like we're doing OK, desktop is part of our plan, but it's secondary, most of our audience is gonna be coming from uh paid ads. Cos I talked to the client about it. Those are the kind of conversations you talk about as well like lead generation. Where is it all coming from? It's coming from Facebook ads, it's all gonna come from mobile phones. If it's coming from youtube, how to videos like a lot of my courses do, then it's desktop first. So what kind of questions are you gonna get into as a UX designer? What are we designed for first? Alright. It is late and surprisingly hot with all these cameras and uh lights going. I am going to let's make another video before we go to bed. Alright. That is fig a mirror and testing your prototype on your phone. See a bit.
