Description
GSIUXD is a free community set on Discord for UX designers who want to exchange ideas and expand their knowledge.
Once you join the Discord server, you need to choose one of the 20 roles available. Each of them represents an expertise area. For example, you can choose a web designer or brand designer role depending on what you work on on a daily basis. After you choose a role, you will have access to more channels, most of them depending on the role you choose.
Additionally, members of the community participate in weekly challenges. These are announced in the #events channel but they are live-streamed in the #design channel. The community has general and some topic-specific sections to discuss design topics. The general section is to share good and bad design, interesting stuff, and design quotes. The specific channels discuss different types of design, such as visual design, motion graphics, illustration, etc.
Besides, you can learn about design by participating in the GSIUXD webinars and exploring the "learning" section. Lastly, GSIUXD has great resources such as courses, books, case studies, and design assets.
