Weekly UI 007: File Upload
by Katie Pohlman
Another week, another weekly UI—this time we’re designing a file upload modal.

This kind of user interface is one that we are all used to seeing different versions of uploading videos to Facebook, adding files to your blog post, and sharing pictures on Instagram.

Heads up! This article may make reference to the Gaslight team—that's still us! We go by Launch Scout now, this article was just written before we re-introduced ourselves. Find out more here.
