Design Picks #017
This week Steve Lauda shows us how to improve our swing and Vlad takes us into the web3 world.
Handhelders,
I’m coming to you with the best mobile design work out there this week to help you with your current project. Let me know what you steal.
If you haven’t already, check out the Resources tab where we’ll be dropping Figma files, code, prototypes and everything in between to help you design and ship faster.
The Updates
Photography adjustment controls by Iconly Pro
Iconly was featured last week for similar reasons but there are no rules here. People need to see how to keep UI elements legible for users. Excellently done with great‑looking icons.
Golf training overview by Steve Lauda
Steve is no beginner in the design world, and this work says it all. Alongside immense talent, the restraint to let UI elements breathe is what makes the interface shine — hard‑earned experience on display.
Daily health dashboard by Arafat
Fresh, fun design feels rare these days, so pieces like this deserve the spotlight. The playful colors, corner radii, and icons team up for a pleasant take on fitness data.
Crypto video network by vlad
Web3 design is a different beast for most designers, but Vlad takes it in stride. There’s a lot of information to show, yet clear hierarchy guides the user exactly where they need to go.
Travel planner onboarding by Abati Samuel
Travel companion onboarding that gets out of the way. A playful icon grid sets the vibe, then three promises: real‑time flights, one itinerary, hidden gems, that all make the value obvious before you even tap.
Crypto wallet connector by Studio Sphere
Independent takes on liquid glass can feel less overwhelming than Apple’s system apps — and this rendition nails it. Love this direction.
Media collection board by Nachi
Simple, well‑executed screens don’t need much monologue. Please keep them coming, Nachi!
That’s a wrap!
