Design Legends ("DL") had the distinct honour to interview legendary designer Wahyu Rifo Prakoso ("WRP") for their original perspective and innovative approach to design as well as their creative lifestyle, we are very pleased to share our interview with our distinguished readers.
WRP : It started from my hobby of drawing since middle school, then I began to learn how to edit and manipulate photos from a computer. This makes me focus on pursuing this field by continuing my study at a vocational high school in the multimedia study program, majoring in information technology at college. And finally, I decided to pursue my career as a UI/UX designer to date. Will I always be a designer? In my opinion, this will follow the developments & needs of the future, even in our daily lives we can be said to be "designers" in our own lives.
WRP : When I designed for social media application (mobile-based application) that based on a user interest model. Because of this is related to a variety of users where they will find each other who have the same interests as the community. Which makes a lot of features in that application. besides that, this is also quite challenging as it requires a balance between business goals and needs that are relatable to users.
WRP : Requirement gathering at first then cultivate ideas and consult with the team, Implementation process design, and finally performance.
WRP : Design sets the trends. This has happened a lot in many design lines in our society.
WRP : substantial, because I design for the products related to technology itself.
WRP : For the software itself, I always use Figma for designing UI/UX, Adobe Illustrator for Illustration, Spreadsheet or Ms. Word for the requirements, and ClickUp for Project Management.
WRP : The ideal design partner for me is a partner with whom not only can work together as a team but also with whom I can exchange thoughts and ideas and become a united and harmonious co-design in achieving the same goals.
WRP : I have several recommendations for good design books, including: Don't Make Me Think (Steve Krug), 100 Things Every Designer Needs To Know About People (Susan M. Weinschenk, Ph.D.), The Design of Everyday Things (Donald A. Norman), Human Centered Design Toolkit 2nd edition (IDEO), SPRINT (Jake Knapp), UX for Lean Startups (Laura Klein), Lean UX (Jeff Gothelf with Josh Seiden).
WRP : My favorite colors are RGB (Red, Green, Blue) but mostly my favorite one is blue. My favorite place is the place that can bring me to a serenity that can lead me to drift away in it.
WRP : In the future, design (widely) will likely collaborate with technology to create a reality that exists like in movies, becoming a real civilization.
