UX Design
About user experience design User experience design is the deliberate creation of an experience that a person has with something—with a website,
a computer application,
a gadget or a space—to deliver value to that person, and through them, to the business.
User experience design is highly multi-disciplinary.
It is rarely the responsibility of one person—so much contributes to the overall experience that it is the responsibility of whole teams, and often the users of the product as well.

User Experience Design

User Experience Designers, like Web Designers before them, usually have a visual design background. There are many exceptions. Yet without fundamental skills in this area one can not well produce the artifacts of User

Experience Design.

 

UX/UE Designers need to be competent in a number of internet/software design-related disciplines, but the most indispensable ones are those listed below:

  • Visual design

  • Interface design

  • Navigation design

  • Information architecture (IA)

  • Information design

  • Interaction design (IxD)

  • Functional specification

  • Content requirements

  • User research (user needs)

  • UX strategy (site objectives)

     

  • After UE/UX Designers —research project’s context

  • an approach to design aspects of it is formulated.

  • developing a set of documents that progress from representations of isolated design elements i (sketch or rough draft) form,

  • “layering” of elements, develop progressively refined representations, resulting finally in a set of comprehensive screen mock-ups.

  • Each stage can (and should) be iterated based on user feedback collected at planned intervals.

  • Some draft design documents are used for early sampling of end-user feedback, but most are for internal/team use only.

  • Communicating design element-specific vocabularies (visual and written) can be quite a challenge in itself. Though just as with web/application design, knowing the target audience and their needs and limitations is an important factor.

  • Design specification documents can include any of the following, :

    • ” a.k.a. FSD

  • Though few User Experience Designers are also programmers, they must also have a solid grounding in interactive media technologies.

    As engineers and developers are among primary consumers of design specifications, the result of them is usually a working (interactive) prototype of the application. From this point the designer is often involved in quality assurance efforts, too.  (UX Design, 2016)
