Takeaway. Pedometers are an essential tool for anyone who wants to get more fit by walking, running, hiking, or climbing stairs. The most important takeaway you should use when considering which brand to buy is that the quality of the parts, design, and workmanship of the pedometer you choose will determine how reliable they end up being.Which type of pedometer is best for me: piezoelectric or spring-levered? Piezoelectric pedometers tend to be more sensitive than spring-levered at slower speeds and so they may be preferable for individuals who walk slowly.
A pedometer is a device, usually portable and electronic or electromechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person’s hands or hips.Because the distance of each person’s step varies, an informal calibration, performed by the user, is required if presentation of the distance covered in a unit of length (such as in kilometers or miles) is desired, though.Select the right COM port and board in Arduino’s IDE, upload the following code. Notice that this is infact the actual code but with the output suppressed, so it doesn’t display steps.This is the penultimate step for our Pedometer.
Open the serial monitor and have a look on what accelerometer data looks like.”Pedometer” records the number of steps you have walked and displays them again along with the number of calories that you have burned, distance, walking time and speed per hour. It is easy to use. Once you push the Start button, all you have to do is hold your smartphone as you always do and walk. Of course, it will continue to automatically record your steps even if you put it in your pocket.

Any suggestions on online courses to get started in UI designer apart from Bloc?
Hye there…
I don’t know a word about drawing and sketching but i hav ideas in mind and i love daviantart, logo design and rtistic things.
Can i become a graphic designer???
This was so informative and all your advice was helpful and easy to digest. Loved this!
Thank you so much for this video it was a real eye-opener as I am interested in Graphic Designs and have decided to go to community college to get a degree in it. I also am subscribing to many YouTubers such as yourself to teach myself skills while I’m waiting to go to school and even during and after school. I love the words “forever learning” because we are forever students.
the word is empathise.lol. but its a great video. thank you.
UX design is a bullshit career built for people who want to be graphic designers but can’t
Another question: I’ve seen a lot of designers defend the separation of UX and UI as different fields and different jobs, even if they require similar skillsets and designers from both would work together. BUUUUUUT when I’m looking for information about UI specifically, it’s almost always conflated with UX, which gives the impression that there are no positions for UI designers, that the visual design and interfacing as a complete job isn’t a thing, it’s almost always a step in the process of UX design. Does anyone actually get hired as UI designers to do just UI?
If you have studied Graphic design in college/university or self-taught you should know it is categorised as commercial art and design is as much as provocative as art in galleries it is as about creating emotion, form, composition and communicating ideas as well as function on a commercial level the only difference you are doing it for clients. And yes, design is about solving a problem, whether it be visual or 3D or both.
Very helpful video. Really inspired me as I am fresh out of college currently in a marketing position and feeling very creatively limited just as you explained. Keep the videos coming!
You are a very inspirational!! Im starting to change my career into graphic design.
what do you think of coursera courses on interaction design?
Im 29 years old, and I wanna change my career from Markeing to graphic design, because when i get involved into the designing process, i am like wow this is amazing, like iam in a different world. I know its gonna be a big challenge and it will take me several years cause i am pretty much a beginner who know nothing about graphic design, but i know i will nail it.
I’m studying commercial art and graphic design. I’ve hit a stand still with my motivation and passion. I’ve been doing a lot of research and soul searching to try to relight my spark of love for art. You hit so many nails on the head with the video! Thank you for the helpful insight!:)
This video was cool it taughte what it takes to be a graphic designer and really made me consider it
I want to make a drastic career change from Biochemistry to Design and your channel is being really helpful for discovering the different areas and how the design world is like. I first watched a video of yours a year ago and now I am seriously considering getting into a design school in my city. Thank you so much for your videos Christine!
Thansk for the amazing advices! It’s very worthy! @mediaartssbcc
Thank you. https://www.crestcreations.com.as always great content, I will try some of your tips.
Hi there! Thank you so much for your videos:) I wonder if you know if bootcamps guarantee jobs only withing USA or English speaking countries? I live in Tokyo and considering to apply for one.
Any one watching things and trying to get into graphic design…
Don’t.
Here’s why:
1) No big career progression
2) Pay is sub par
3) The job position is not flattering, especially when you’re in your late 30s, all your friends are now senior managers and directors and your’re a “Graphic designer”.
4) Clients are the fucking worst. There’s no “Right and wrong” like with other jobs. It all depends on what the client feels like. One day he/she wants something, the next they’re feeling something else
5) Clients and people try to get you to do things for free all the time and try to convince you that “Oh it’s just a small logo. Takes you 10 minutes.” I low key wanted to shoot some of my clients.
6) Every ass wipe with a macbook and photoshop calls himself a designer, so for every job there are a little over 10 thousand “designers”. Companies don’t even skim through all of them. They just look at the first 30 and pick the best one, even though an amazing designer could be number 100 on the list.
7) The work hours are… Hectic. I mean hectic. Forget work life balance. One day you will work 2 hours and sit 6 hours waiting for work…And the next you are working 16 hours with no breaks, no over time, nothing. I’ve had days where I literally woke up, started working, ate while working, and went to bed with only 1 10 minute break to take a shit.
And no, I am not trying to shoo you away because I am trying to “preserver my job”. Don’t worry. I left that career behind me and enlisted in the armed forces.
For the love of god, please listen to me and don’t get into graphic design.
Great topics. Smile more and get more animated in front of the camera.
Wow. I love this video so much. Thank you so much for this. You’re amazing and you’re my new inspiration.
The first part is crazy to me because at my school I’ve noticed people going into design because “its the art that makes money” is heavily hated on. Most of us started in middle/high school or have specific goals in the field other than money. More of an Art Chantry “I am not an artist” mentality.
1:53 thos words you said is what I like and I will try to be Graphic Designer, I’m a senior in High School by the way. Love art and to Design
I hate that unpaid internships are such requirement, some people can’t spare the time to work a bunch for no pay.
Mature and experienced designer got a different set of problems than the young and inexperienced and that is corporate ego. People hiring designers are often lead designers themselves and they avoid people that are better than themselves, they are perhaps in a lead role and afraid of hiring someone that is a threat to their job and status in the company, so they avoid to hire someone who’s got more experience than them. Actually, it’s easier for a designer straight out of school to land a job often. There’s alot of unhealthy ego in this industry. I’ve experienced this repeatedly.
Shae, I just happened to come across this video and am glad I did. Although I realize most of the folks getting into UX/UI are quite a bit younger than I am (I am 54), I am not letting that stop me. My background is what I will call “unique” for the transformation I am about to make in my career. I have been working in just about every capacity for nonprofit organizations for the past 30 years. What I realize is that my innate creativity and my ability to recognize and empathize with people’s pain points and devise viable solutions will be an asset to my development as a UX professional. I know I will encounter obstacles… I am a 50+ Black woman making a substantial career change, but I know I can make it happen. Thanks much for sharing your journey!
Don’t forget it’s not just about listening to what people say, but also looking at what they do. Some hidden needs are in the gap between the two. Another point is about getting the team creative at the Ideation step, just after having met the targeted users. Facilitate workshops, stimulate creativity to help the participants find the best ideas to the real problems and represent them in a way one can test is with users. This is a big part of the UX job too!
Do I need to have excellent drawing skills before joining a design program?
I’ve taken a Basic Design class in high school my senior year and took art seriously and did fantastic. I’ve taken couple of art classes at my community college and struggled as I advanced. I took 2D design first which was my favorite because it had a lot of acrylic painting. I did decent in Drawing 1 but not great. I had interest in 3D Design and Ceramics, but I realized I’m not a sculptor and basically failed.
I enjoy art as a hobby, but I don’t think I have the perseverance to pursue art and finish things on a deadline. I consider my drawing skills as a beginner. I don’t think I’m good enough to do an arts major. I’ve been out of school for a while so I might need to retake some classes and work on my skills.
I graduated from highschool 2 years ago in 2017, and I spent those 2 years out of highschool trying to figure out what I want to do with my life. Even my first two semesters I at University this year I still didn’t know what I wanted to do until now. I love graphic design and everything else is too hard/boring for me, so I think this is the best choice for me.
Hi Shae. I just graduated last month with a BA in psychology and am thinking about doing Lambda School’s UI/UX program. Have you heard any good things about it? I know it’s fairly new.
SO happy I found your channel! As someone who’s new to the UX/Product Design field, this is so incredibly helpful:) I’m interested in what a career focus in interaction design looks like. Could you provide any tips/advice in how to pursue that specific field? Thanks so much Shae!!
So I chose Art GCSE and I was wondering if it was okay that I didn’t take Graphic Design GCSE if I wanted to be a graphic designer?
well no body gets tired by watching a beautiful girl for like 20 minutes:D

im still in college for graphic design, and i definitely experienced this. Every class starts with a ton of people and by the end of the semester, less than half the class was left. 2:07
Great video….but I would say or rather ask that a job that includes both UX and UI combined would be a product designer?
Also, in an agency setting do you go out and interview people and then build personas?
This video helped me. I not too long graduated from high school and had no idea what to do with my life. But ever since I was young I love drawing, making collages and now editing and photo shopping. I think I’m going into the graphic design industry.
This is a very engaging and informative video Shae. I’m considering taking up the UX/UI Design Bootcamp at Flatiron School, London? What are your thoughts on Flatiron?
I would assume that changing to this career path would mean huge pay cut initially in the beginning?
Thanks for your guidance. Would like keep you hearing. Keep posting:)
Thank you so much for the information it was really helpful!
Hello:)
I’m a student, doing bachelors in engineering and have set my mind to change my career path towards ux design. So I’m looking to do my masters in the same. However in the design colleges, I find various courses namely UX Design, Human Interaction Design and Product Design. Could you guide me on what’s the difference and which one to choose?
Hi!�� I have some questions! I’m preparing to go to 2yr college in Canada. But I can’t decide which part of design major i should enroll when i’m considering to get full time job offer for applying Permanent residence visa later. I studied fine art and design long time ago. Do you think which path would be more approachable as a foreigner? ��
1. Web design ( should it be learned UX/UI?)
2. Graphic design( logos or printing works)
3. Product design
❤️��������
This video is amazing, I agree with everything you said, Thanks for making it!!
Hi Shae! Thank you so much for making this video. I’m at the very beginning stage of embarking on this journey to become a UX/UI/Product designer. You’ve helped clear up some of the questions I have about UXUI job roles, what to expect from boot camps, and whether this is the next move for me. I know this video was posted just over a year ago but I wanted to ask if you have any insight on the job market during Covid19. Are companies still hiring designers? Are designers able to work remotely?
Thanks again!
Hi, I doing career transaction Recently I plan to make the change from graphic design to the UX. I have kinda confused about how to become a UX designer, Thinking to self-taught? or is better to take the course program (concerning about budget is worth it or not). So want to hear some point of view from you. Your video is a very inspiration
Please keep making these videos, it’s nice to have a more personal approach to understanding this area of research which I had quite a siloed view of and think that people can make a stereotype of people who work in the tech industry
“You’re not expected to know everything” I am unsure about how courses work in the USA but in UK the way the course works is that you are given brief after brief, barely any educational lectures teaching you anything and peer feedback on the designs you make. Around 90% of what I know now as a Designer I have learnt through experiences in work environments, reading books related to design and a lot of mistakes. As a Graphic Designer I would suggest you highly research into the field before making any decisions about taking on a course:)
You are so truthful and devoted to the field. Loved your video.keep the good work ��
Hi！ Do you know and have bilibili account which was popular in Mainland China? I find your video very helpful. Can I transmmit these videos to bilibili to help people here?
Hi Shae! This video is fantastic, with all the key points, someone who is thinking of becoming a UX/UI designer need! I am through the same things you mention in this video, and it’s encouraging to watch kind of videos like yours! Please, don’t stop creating content like this! Muchas gracias Shae!!!
Hi Shae ���� It’s your old Bloc mentor �� One of my new students told me about your videos. So awesome! Keep up the good work ����
3:14 I’ve completed my AA degree and now I’m about to take full on graphic design classes. I’ve been so nervous thinking about the upcoming semester and feeling like I’m under prepared or that I don’t know enough. But these words were very reassuring, thank you:)
I am scared I am not creative or talented enough to go into design. Does anyone else feel this way?
Couldn’t finish this wonderful video as sadly the music was driving me mad
I found this video really helpful, especially the information on interviewing! Thanks for sharing!
I would say my main question is this: would I be able to do graphic design and make a decent living off of it and provide for a family? I understand that when you’re first starting out that you’re not going to make all that much cash flow. I also understand that most beginner graphic work is freelance. I totally want to get into graphic design and I’m also interested in learning animation and multimedia in general. However, I’m concerned that I will not be able to do the kind of work I’m interested in and be able to make enough money alone to support a wife and 2+ kids in the future. I’m only 19 but I want to make a smart decision here. Anyone have any kind of advice they could give me? Thanks!:)
See I’m interested in a graphic design, but worried that it doesn’t pay well

If i want to be a person who designs characters for games would that be called a graphic designer
My big brother is graduating next year from high school and is majoring is graphic design. I’m still a lot younger than him so I don’t need to decide what I want to be at this very moment but as someone who is very artistic and creative this is definitely something I want to look into in the future
Jamal, I really appreciate what you’re doing in such an honest way!
This was extremely helpful! I really wish to become a graphic designer. I have a burning question I really want to find the answer to. You mentioned realationship building, I am an extremly shy person, would an introvert be okay in this kinda career?
Hey, Christine Maggi, How is going everything? I’m also motion graphic designer if need any help just knock me. Thanks
I do both graphic design and web developer. How can I make the transition to ux design. I know I can design but how can I make the transition.
Good point about how graphic design is a great way for artists to turn their aesthetic eye to a profitable business.
Hey, your doing great! I would love to see your top 5 female graphic designers or other females that inspire you and not the usual Jessica Walsh (who is amazing but she’s a celebrity so it’s not a good comparison for us normal creatives)
