One of the major design misconceptions I have frequently come across, is the mistake that UI is the same as UX design or vice-versa.
It's not so encouraging how some recruiters put so boldly as job titles ‘UX/UI’ while in the job description is the role of either a UX designer or a UI designer.
Same goes to Job searchers. You can do both no doubt but you can't apply to a job that describes the role of a UX design when your resume describes you to be a UI designer.
❓❔What then should you know about UI and UX design.
Both concept are very easy to understand and grasp, so sit chill and relax💆♀️
📍UX- User Experience is a science term coined by Don Norman. It encompasses all interactions between a potential/active customers and the company. It is associated with feelings and the ability to understand how users interact with products. UX is the process of developing and improving the quality of interaction and unlike Ui, Ux focuses on feelings and not visuals.
📍UI- User Interface is a stage of design that is mostly associated with graphics, aesthetics, looks and the interactivity of product. It focuses on visuals and is the point of interaction between the user and a product. A UI designer considers fonts, color scheme, spacing, and responsive design. This is the stage in the design process where you make the most use of your sketching pen and paper.
A great product design/experience starts with UX followed by UI. While UX maps out the journey, UI focuses on making the journey possible. And while Ux can be applied to any product, service or experience, Ui is specific to digital products and experience.
They both require different expertise, but to save cost business owners leave these duties to one person. While one person can do this, it should be someone who is knowledgeable in both otherwise they may struggle to get measurable results.
