Designing with real data

Serbia Audio Guide is an app that shows you nearby tourist attractions in Serbia as you drive around the country. While we worked on the UX with fake names and descriptions, or even worse just the containers instead of real text, the flow seemed quite easy to design. But before first testing, we had to make at least basic UI and that’s when we encountered huge problems with long names of the locations and long category names clients wanted. Always design with real data. Each time I forgot this principle I had the same problem.
