The difference between UI and UX Flashcards
What does User Interface (UI) Design refer to as opposed to User Experience (UX) Design?
User interface (UI) refers to the actual interface of a product or service as opposed to the holistic end experience someone has with a product or service
What is the focus of a UX Designer over the the focus of UI Designer (whose focus in on the actual visual and physical interface a customer uses to interact with)?
In contrast, UX is more overarching. The focus here is on the context in which we expect someone to use the Lufthansa application. UX designers have to distance themselves from the screen and focus on what it is users want to accomplish, as well as their current circumstances
How do you explain what skills crossover for a UI design and a UX design specialist?
UI is a specialised skillset of its own and is typically considered a subset of UX, so not all UX designers are UI designers, but all UI designers (we hope) employ the UXD principles discussed in this course to solve real problems for real people.
How does Ken Norton, Partner at Google Ventures explain the focus of a UX designer over a UI designer?
“UX is focused on the user’s journey to solve a problem; UI is focused on how a product’s surfaces look and function.”
