Personal Finance -> Day to day spending it looks like the wallet app is in progress? Is there an open review of something like that?

So perhaps we need a better illustration?

GBKS commented 3 years ago

By in progress, do you mean the illustration is not complete? If so, then we have a ton of other areas in the PKM and case studies section that need updating, as those are mostly black-and-white outline drawings. This got pretty clear for see when looking at the visual review in Figma.

Going back to the original creative concept, the outline drawings are part of the style. Makes it easier to create visuals without having to worry about color, texture, shading etc. And then designers can choose to add more visual treatments if they want to, but it's up to them and they don't have to.

Totally get where the feedback is coming from in general. I don't see it as an issue, but maybe good to just have a check with the group how they feel about it.

The illustration itself doesn't fully explain what we're talking about. If the visual doesn't fully explain something, we should either remove it or improve it. This issue is specific for this page; I don't think the problem is in the outline, but rather that the illustration doesn't really explain/show much.

I see what you mean. It makes more sense when you look down the page and see the other illustrations in the same style that are populated with more and more devices. The point of this illustration is to say that all you need for daily spending is a smartphone.

This isn't really feedback from me, just posted what a user reviewing the guide found weird, and the comment was about that image, if you feel the image clarifies what you mean well (I don't) I can close the issue. If there's a need to explain the context of an image, then as I earlier said, it may need some improvements.

But looking down the page, it makes sense to either leave it as is, or try to tackle them all, since this is not a priority, I'll close it for now.
