UX/UI design
What is UX design?
UX is the experience of interacting with an app or website. The user experience depends on the components: graphic design, site architecture, interface responsiveness and clear text.
In a broader sense, we are talking about the entire user experience of an application or website. The clearer and more accessible the interface, the easier it is for the user to obtain the target result. Mandatory responsibilities in UX design include prototyping, user behaviour research and systematic testing.
Marketing Engineer. And the other side of the UX designer. The specialist studies the analysis, writes the working text for the authors, thinks over the connections of the interface elements and their visual layout, resulting in a prototype whose effectiveness directly depends on the quality of the work done.
What is UI design?
UI design is the work on the graphical part of the interface. It includes animations, photos, illustrations, buttons, menus, fonts, sliders.
The main task of a UI designer is to help the average user understand how to use the product quickly and easily. It can be a website, an app, a payment terminal, a TV remote control, an oven. The interface of any product should be based on the requirements and rules that are common to each type of gadget.
The UI designer “manages” the interface objects and checks:
- whether the drop-down menu works correctly,
- whether it is easy to click on “Order”,
- Can the text be read on my smartphone?
- Is it easy to fill in the form,
- Does the website report activity correctly?
The user interface designer is responsible for how the product interface looks and how the user interacts with its elements. But you need to understand that in addition to the graphical interface, there is also voice, touch and sound. The UI specialist also works with these, but his most common role is graphics.
UI/ux designer responsibilities
The work that a ui/ux designer does is determined by the responsibilities of both the ui and the ux specialist. By combining the tasks for each area of interface design, we get a complex ui/ux specialist.
The main task of a UI designer is to help the user easily understand how to interact with the product. To achieve this, you need to know programming, the psychological aspects of colour and graphic design, as well as a sense of style.
