This type of content is gold. It's great to do walkthroughs of new features and products but so few people sit down and discuss details and basics and what separates good design from bad design. I wish I had you when I was first starting out. Would have saved me some hurdles.
This freepik website has blown my mind! The difference is massive. I'm just sitting here saying "Holy F*ck moly!" to myself dragging the before/after slider across. Great tool Ran, thank you
That turned out really well. Do you think it'd be better to have a CTA button on the hero section, considering they have a "book now" section, but it's placed way further down the page?
This was so intrersting to watch. You made it look more appealing to anyone going to the page. The Nigerian Governmet really needs to invest in good designs for their websites in general. Spoken from the perspective of a Nigerian web designer
Super impressive! I shudder to think that amateur designers for a major concern can be given a website project of such importance and ..... well, the results speak for themselves.... ==> Your quick re-design of this layout is simple proof that trying to cut corners due to corruption or favouritism cannot justify the replacement of an expert in his/her field. Something to consider for all the chancers and wannabes out there... the joke is on you...
Almost perfect! At 17:39 if you look at he bottom image, the one with the 4 travelers, I would have scaled it down a little so that the guy on the right also kinda aligns with the "Book now" box, like the first woman does. Now, with the logo in the bottom right too, it feels a little too crowded.
Awesome way to educate; the before vs after / bad vs. good is excellent. The only thing I’d still change is the section headers. I’d dump the green bars and make the text bigger.
@@kunallangoo9184 It doesn't even look that good tbh, too blocky, like those subheaders, big green cards, that awkward "book now" white block, and don't get me started with the colors that he didn't even bother to improve upon. The design is better than the previous but that's all, I feel bad for the people here thinking this is good shi cuz they're getting scammed into thinking they're learning from a designer, he's more of a content creator than he is a designer.
That was very well done! And the video length was great as well! Simple and effective! Also could you list the web tools you used, please and thank you :) I never heard of Midjourney “alpha” before
@5:22 you say "just with tools that are available to all of you". Is there a free workaround to generative fill in photoshop or do i need to buy a adobe subscription for this technique to work? Thank you very much for this amazing video.
This is exactly the part where I stopped the video having the same thought! I have affinity designer and photo which is way cheaper and no subscription needed but I don't know if there is a feature like this.
Photoshop Crop tip, nowadays you can set it to Generative Expand straight away (no need to do 2 steps; first crop and then select to apply generative fill)
it was an honor to watch you redesign this. each of the tips you gave were so insightful and helpful. all of your videos have so many golden nuggets its crazy!
Great video, thank you! I’d love it if you could share the optimal Photoshop resolution and best practices for working with large images like the one in the video to avoid any pixelation. Also, what’s the best way to handle type for the web? Can text be added during the Photoshop stage while maintaining its crispness?
Amazing one 💯, loved the way you redesigned it so seamlessly. The final results were just incredible ! Looking forward to more such videos from a great teacher
Hmm do you think about how to build this as a web developer? Those layers with the train look nice, but in order to have the slider in the back and have the image in the front change with the background image, then staying in the right postition for mobile view is quite tricky 😅
Great video overall with lots of valuable information. I would add though, that it's important to check with client and the photographer and get approvals for making any changes to logos and photographs. Photographers can be very particular about this and it can cause a lot of issues if these images are being licensed and not bought outright. It's also not great advice to suggest just changing the logo, and a bit of an easy way out. In 99% of cases you won't be able to change it at all, so would be more useful to show how to actually fix the design using a difficult logo.
Wow, your tutorial is a big design leap for me. You have no idea the kind of positive impact made. Also, thank for giving my Country's hitherto unattractive design a facelift.
This is great - but that banner will need to be a single image. So it looks good in Figma or in a PDF brochure, but is not practical for a real website that must be mobile friendly?
Are those graphical tools the way to quickly design websites for clients these days? I only have a few websites on my own and still write all the source code myself, but I have a lot of time. I can spend hours on tweaking minor things.
Excellent video ! I just found that png can be copied from photoshop to figma. I retried on the windows with ps cc 2020 but it also exports pngs with white background. How do i get with transparent ?
I have a question, for the objects, did you make them relative or absolute? and in the real world of UI design do you actually need everything to be responsive? Would love a reply on this because I'm a bit confused
I can 100% confirm that this website isn't mobile responsive. my school website is so bad I have to use desktop mode on mobile to click anything, most Nigerian websites are that bad
4:35 looks like the AI upscaler messed up the numbers on the side of the train. And, can a government transportation agency really use AI modified pictures to promote their trains? Is that legally permissible? If so, to what extent?
Wait, what? You had me at the train transformation. Bro, if this is the kind of stuff a person will legitimately learn on the Flux Academy course, take my money already
Your design is very well thought, but I think they could have obtained a better result, even without changing much of the elements like you did. Regarding the quality of the train image, my thought is that probably they made it poor through JPEG compression, in order to be loaded fast on slow connections. My proposal is that the overlay could have been even left, if the covered section was shorter and if they made the word Affordable giant and sticked on the white section.
i am a nigerian, and you absolutely nailed this. Always a great time watching you do these lectures
These are amazing!
I swear it awesome
Glad you like them!
I'm Nigerian too. Nice work bro
Ajeh
As a web designer from Nigeria, I am disgusted by government agencies website and designs.
You did a fantastic job!
I’m always blown away when I not only see the final result of a professional like you but also get to see how you do it. You’re truly a pro!
This type of content is gold.
It's great to do walkthroughs of new features and products but so few people sit down and discuss details and basics and what separates good design from bad design.

Thanks! 🇳🇬

So on point. The new design makes a huge difference even with the little changes. Phewww our Nigerian railway website just got a facelift 😊

The Nigerian Government needs to pay you for this.

Great video, thank you w great ideas.
(One tiny thing: you can't update/change a company logo just because a cleaner website design)
What a worthy piece of redesign and improved user experience. 👏👏👏
Thank you very much for creating and sharing such valuable content.
love it, by far the best teacher
Incredible redesign! Thank you Ran for sharing your invaluable thought process!
Bro design is so beautiful, I swear I’m going to become an amazing designer like you, so inspiring watching this, and beautiful as well!
You can do it!
Great content! Thank you for the side-by-side comparison. It really helps a lot.
Great stuff! Loved the redesign process and innovations.
Awesome way to educate; the before vs after / bad vs. good is excellent. The only thing I’d still change is the section headers. I’d dump the green bars and make the text bigger.
This is gold! Thank you. I learnt some interesting concepts
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Keren sih abang ini bener bener profesional designer. Simple thing but make big impact! Menyala abangkuuu!
Can you please show how it will look in different screen sizes (Responsive). It will be helpful.
Agreed… You can do anything in Figma. But how do you make that hero practical for all breakpoints?
@@itsmikemcdonnell Correct. I always see youtubers making cool looking designs for the web but they never show how it will look on mobile.
@@kunallangoo9184 Yet, in their videos, they'll explain how the majority of their website users will be using mobile devices!

Maybe you can redesign yours and show us how it looks. @@feelcollins4358
probably my favourite type of video, super useful stuff
thanks a lot
Great video!
Thanks a lot for all the information and practises you showcased, keep up the good work!
As a designer, I am so impressed with this.
You are such a genius. Great idea. I’m learning so much from your channel. Thanks
Thanks, happy to hear that!
we learn so much from this video, thanks Ran's

I'm a Nigerian and the redesign is so good.. This is better honestly
This is fascinating thank you. Learning a lot of design concepts - im more into coding but want to be good enough at prototyping
I am also a web design agency owner from Nigeria. This is lovely

Loved the video, but one thing I would also change up is the orange CTAs, you can't read them at all from a bit further distance
My country people, I use wordpress but I am a big fan of Ran Segall
Yes ooo
Same here
Amazing redesign tutorial, Ran! You're a great teacher!✨✨
Appreciate it
Awesome video dude!

Loved this video. More of these videos, Ran!
Excellent turned out very well ❤
Finally, flux academy did something related to my country
W fr man🔥❤️
The difference is experience and thinking
Excellent.. thanks for sharing!

I'm not very convinced with the final hero image, I think it need a little bit of balancing the highlights and whites, but it's a big improvement.
Nice video. Designer of this website is lucky one!
awesome demonstration!!!
Thanks! 🙏
Wow cracking job mate. You should definitely bring more content like this. Pure Gold!
Thanks!
Love this, I hope you do a lot more of these
i am so nigerian and this video is absolutely amazing
This is gold content 😍
Thanks Sergio
Omg, I'm in love with our performance. Really good job!!!.
Love it. Please more videos like this one 😊
Thank you! Will do!

You nailed it. Our services section could have been better. Missed button to box size ratio ?

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Amazing job 🔥
Great work sir. Love your videos 😊
Great video man!
oh man, i wish i had your vision :D so good
grreat stuff - are you using the web to figma plugin and with the pro paid features
at the beginning you used a website to upscale your train image - what is that url? wasit freebit?
This is just 10/10
Are those graphical tools the way to quickly design websites for clients these days? I only have a few websites on my own and still write all the source code myself, but I have a lot of time. I can spend hours on tweaking minor things.
Wow... This is really awesome.
Can i get the figma link pls, i want to build this with webflow
Excellent video ! I just found that png can be copied from photoshop to figma. I retried on the windows with ps cc 2020 but it also exports pngs with white background. How do i get with transparent ?
You did alot of justice to this wow❤
Can you please make a video how we can design this same design in elementor
Simply Awesome Sir
Great job!
8:56 - Be consistant with the design .... your developer will thank you! 😅
How would you code the hero section 😢
I have a question, for the objects, did you make them relative or absolute? and in the real world of UI design do you actually need everything to be responsive? Would love a reply on this because I'm a bit confused
As a Nigerian I can tell you that website costs a couple thousands of dollars. That is how our government move.
Who ask you? Cho cho cho...
You wont know peace for trying to sell your country out for a redesign that still needs a redesign.
I'm Nigerian and I 💯 agree with your redesign 👍
Love that
I can 100% confirm that this website isn't mobile responsive.
my school website is so bad I have to use desktop mode on mobile to click anything, most Nigerian websites are that bad
nice you just remastered the website
4:35 looks like the AI upscaler messed up the numbers on the side of the train. And, can a government transportation agency really use AI modified pictures to promote their trains? Is that legally permissible? If so, to what extent?
i'm thinking in responsive for mobile and the hero picture with the text behind the train, how should it work?
You need to do more tutorial on how to improve pictures used for the website
@6:30 client rejected the design. He was in love with the logo and is angry now XD. Jokes apart. Good uplift!
what is the name of the image generator tool you use ?
Thanks brother ❤
Wait, what? You had me at the train transformation. Bro, if this is the kind of stuff a person will legitimately learn on the Flux Academy course, take my money already
can you share the name of app used to upscale photos?
Why should a web designer change a client's logo which is a key brand element for the seek of make a beautiful website?
This is amazing.
It's funny how jobs like this never go to the professionals.
Great rework by the way 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
how would you develop the hero section?
Nice. All the edits were done in Photoshop and copy pasted here right?
Thanks!
The more I i watch, the more I realize design is pretty much logical.
Also, I think most governmental websites look bad xD
Your design is very well thought, but I think they could have obtained a better result, even without changing much of the elements like you did. Regarding the quality of the train image, my thought is that probably they made it poor through JPEG compression, in order to be loaded fast on slow connections.

Looks great.
I'd take a train ride in Nigeria after seeing this.
Haha
