    I have more experience in visual design than in research and breaking down problems. Because of this, I feel more drawn towards UI, but I feel like I would still do great as a UX designer once I'm able to learn the ropes and gain more skills in it. Thank you for this video!

    This was very helpful to me, thank you so much for taking your time to make this video! I am a graphic design student and I finished taking my second UX class in June. I really enjoyed taking them! I love the whole process of creating concepts and working with others! UI Design sounds really fun to work with because I love to see visual content and how the interaction works.

  • @eileenthomas1815
    @eileenthomas1815 3 роки тому +12

    Great video explaining the differences in these two career paths. I'm a business analyst in a company with no UX or UI Designer, so I'm called on to do a little of both in my work. I enjoy the UI side of it more, but as an analyst, it is really important for me to understand the big picture including the user needs. I'd love to see another video that also splits out a BA role separately from these two as I'm working to get my company to see the need for these two concentrations.

    I've been struggling for the past few years trying to find what I wanna do next with my life now that I've finished high school.
    Nothing seemed to be something I liked and wanted to dedicate my time to, but then a couple of days ago my co worker recommended UI Design and that was something I've never heard of. I wanted to know more and decided to look it up.
    I've always been a visual person. I like looking at satisfying things and I like making cool and satisfying things. Now listening to your explenation, UI is something I wanna try.

After watching this, I actually had the realization that more often than not, I’m paying attention to the UI of a lot of things as I use them. So it got me excited to think that I could actually be part of that process! Thank you! Also, bloopers at the end of any video are amazing, lol.

    This video was extremely helpful in my decision on what route I should take. Being a more visual creative, I have been a Senior Graphic Artist and Illustrator for many years, the UI side of the house is more alluring. Your presentation really helped in defining the difference in the roles and expectations of the UX and UI designer. I have also been an Art Director, so the research and big picture mentality is a big part of my work ethic. Client interaction is also a favorite aspect to my field of work, so the overlap of UX/UI appeals to me as well. Again, thank you for the clarification and keep up the great work.

I'm leaning more into the UX Design because I think of myself as more of a big picture thinker and I think overseeing the entire experience of users/customers will be rewarding. I've used various apps and have had good and bad experiences that I think I can leverage when designing!

    Thanks so much. Im just starting out, trying to fill a UI/UX role at my company and this was a great way to understand the difference, and I think I kind of understand. The part that trips me up is Im having trouble seeing where the UX ends and UI begins, given that there is some overlap. I understand that both are needed and achieve different things though. The UX role when working wiht wireframes and prototypes seems less tangle as to "This is where your part ends, hand off to the UI designer now." I'll get it eventually :D

    Oh my, I am so grateful for this video. I've been studying UX Design but even though I'm loving it, I was thinking that something was missing, that I liked what I was studying but it was not 100% what I wanted. Now I'm 100% sure I should move to UI Design, it's much more in tune with how my mind works. Thank you!
