What is UX Designer?
People always get confused
with this term.
What do we actually do? Are
we good with illustrator, does it mean that we have to know Photoshop, make
beautiful eye popping design elements or is it all about following some new
trend in web design, Icons, colours. What is UX all about? When a person asks
you do you know coding Html and CSS? What is that all about don’t they even
know I am a Master of design students and we are not form and IT back ground?
Still now we haven’t came
across anything that is User experience, yes UX
The expansion of the small
two alphabets says it all User Experience.
Two simple words the user
and the experience. It is not limited to just an interactive application that
is for mobile or a tablet It is not limited to an ATM machine or a food vending
machine.
UX has grown so much just
like design has been adopted by companies to give that better aesthetic and feel
for their product.
As a UX designer I fell
there is Experience everywhere. Let’s take an example when you play a game if
you feel good you play it again and again the experience of the user to that
game was so good that he loved it and will use it again.
Another simpler example the
experience you have when you open a packaging of a new product that you have bought.
Some people feel it was so they even remember the experience and keep the
package.
That’s what UX design is
all about design for the user, thinking about the user. So you know how better
they feel when they use it.
Many things collaboratively
work for a better UX. And it’s not necessary that all UX designers know everything.
It’s a very diverse filed to point a few engineers, artist, architect, designers,
and psychology professions work together and even they become UX designers. In
my class room we are students of different field of studies and we feel that
input from different source make our ideas better.
It’s all about the two
little words, nothing more.
The User and The Experience.
