Hi there! great that you start a conversation around UX :D In my opinion and experience the core of UX Design is not Design is User Research because without it you cannot start "building a good experience". Maybe we should start calling it just UX hehe When a company hires a UX Designer they should know they will be hiring a researcher, a person with knowledges on cognitive physiology, usability testing etc and not only Design skills, this will be just a plus ;) If someone wants to be a UX Designer but doesn't have design skills they could do content strategy, information arquitecture, research etc . Cheers!
I disagree. You can design without research but that is like gambling - you might win, but you'll probably lose. But if you have a researcher who's not a designer, then you have a research, and maybe insights, but no way to turn them into a product. The process of synthesising insight into a product is called design :)
I agree. Every job or hiring manager I've seen cares more about the research aspect of UX design and less if they have pixel perfect design skills. They hire UXers because they know how to conduct user testing, create user flows, personas, wireframes and prototypes. If they have good design skills too, that's great! But the true foundation of UX should be psychology and HCI.
it's very evident one someone creates a design that has very little insight into UI, research, IA and target audience. it might be super pretty, but it will take away quite a lot out of the value (what value does something have if the IA is messy and badly planned, so actually getting what i wanted becomes frustrating at the least?). on the other hand, a UX designer is a designer in the planning sense of the word, and is not necessarily both a graphic designer as well as a UI designer. that's the problem with hiring one person and expecting them to have profound expertise in both fields. and they are definite seperate fields, while having a lot of overlappings. just my thoughts, great vid
fully agree before you start the visual design you have to research, ask about the customers and user's desieres and after that start to design and the end make the visual design!
i disagree also, designer have that basic research. its stupid designer if he don't understand physiology, usability etc. all that shit are already include in their study. when jump to ux/ui he can understand very quickly. try researcher who jump to design, if his design taste suck, everything will be suck. its true. you welcome.
I have always been into math, finance, computers and stuff like that. But I really really like this lifestyle of a designer. Not the famous UA-camr part, I can live w/o unless I am teaching a skill or something like that. But I like the freedom of working from home or anywhere that suits you. Meeting with other like minded people mid day to brainstorm and etc...
You don't have to be a designer to be working from home, remote working is becoming increasingly popular for lots of professions.
I kinda disagree with you. I don't think the core of UX Design is design but a great problem solver. In a nutshell, you can be UX designer even if you are not a visual designer. UX is everything in a sense. of course it would be so great if you have the necessary design skills but that is mostly the job of UI designer (making it beautiful and enhancing the exprience). You're jumping two or three spaces by beginning with design when you don't even try to define you're user/customer profile first; their journey, pain points and challenges. UX in summary is somehow solving business problems. Its not just the form.
a good designer does research.
Guess what, UX includes what a customer feels, thinks, and how he responds behaviorally when he/she first sees your product on a shelf, takes it home and opens it. It also includes how a user feels days after he has used your product and casually or excitedly mentions it to a friend. It also includes the thoughts that run through his head when he's not using your product at all, but is still thinking about it. I have a much broader view of user experience than most people and I think Don Norman, the inventor of the term and the profession of user experience, agrees with me.
Op
about hundred and twenty years ago, there was a man saying: 'form follows function'. if you want to make good design, then you follow this sentence. doesnt matter if you make printdesign, webdesign, ux-design - always follow: form follows function. make sure your design works. make sure its understandable and functional. the rest is understandig of the media you are working for and a bit of artistic nonsense to give your work a unique touch. doesnt matter if you are printdesigner, webdesigner, ux-designer as long you are a good designer you can master all these challenges.
I think the core of design, let alone UXD, is understanding. Then you can utilise specific skill sets to design solutions that solve problems with emapthy and add value.
Hey Man,
First, I love all of your videos and content. I myself is a UX Designer and your video helped me in a lot!
I always wanted to ask some questions to you that
1. How much do you practice before creating a video?
2. What and how much preparation you do before making any video?
I think people might be interested in knowing that. I surely am! I would love to have a video on that if possible, or you can reply here as well.
Thanks Ravi :)
I think I have a few videos about my vlogging process.. at this point (after 580+ video), it does not take me much time to prepare.. I usually run the points I want to talk about in my head and just shoot. I don't practice.
First time find person who is speaking truth, Respect,
Cool! Thanks for sharing. In my own experience a UI/UX Designer does wireframes, research, copywriting (not always), user personas and testing assumptions is all I do at work.
I agree with your opinion about how to get into UX design. I am fresh out of school and I am working as a freelancer as a UI designer right. Always have some issues with UX logical with my boss, but the UX designer actually is my boss. He always talking about his favorites and nothing about user experience. Sadly!
kinda everyone will tell you that in UX design, the least ''important'' thing is design lol. I was kinda surprised when he said that design it's actually the basic. You can still be a great UX designer even if you don't do well with design... that's why we have UI designers lol
I love your guitar concept😂😂😂
I have to disagree - you should always start with THE USER. There is no User Experience design without the user. You can't design, when you don't know, who you design for. The visual design isn't necessary role of UX Designer - sure, it's nice, when you can also do it and bring it all to life, but your role may end with wireframes and some kind of prototype. The most work happens in sketches, paper-prototypes, excel sheets, wireframes..; but especially in solid user-research.
But I guess that depend on what your role as UX designer is, since can vary a lot.
Filip Pižl thank you, I was just about to say the same. I stopped watching half way.
Filip Pižl totally agree with your point that it's all about the user...we've seen too many agencies that are all about pleasing clients but not the client's USERS!
Wow, I'm currently living in Florence, Italy. Learning UX/UI and I'm preparing to visit Tel Aviv. Cool
U r so awesome!! Very helpful videos also u are very talented
In respect to obtaining diverse knowledge, what, if any, specific books do you recommend we should read?
I was looking for this answer, thank you. But design for print media and UI/UX is different I guess.
Ok, what if you have a master's in information systems, a bachelor's in business admin, and you already freelance in graphic design and writing? Where would you start? I kept thinking that I wanted to do project management, but really I think I belong in either UI or UX design.
That actually sounds like a great background to get started! If you freelance doing graphic design why won’t you also freelance doing the UX of the project?
Because I'm afraid that I don't actually know the proper steps to go through and the deliverables to give to the client. I don't actually know what a UX designer does, specifically. And I'm afraid that if I put it on my resume, they will expect me to know exactly what I'm doing. Lol.
im a developer but was offered a UX job recently.. Apparently they like my skill set
Hey Flux.
What books would you recommend of psychology to understand the purpose of UX Design?
I also heard about 'Eye Tracker,' any thoughts on that?
I love your videos man!
I have a video about book recommendations
Flux can you send a link? I cant find it
Which books would you recommend me, to learn the basic and core of design? Focusing on web and app design? I’m an iOS developer doing a Ux designer boot camp and I would like to learn on my own about that core of graphic design so any resources like books or websites it would be appreciated! Thank you!
Love your videos! Can you do a vlog or video on your top UX beginner / intermediate reads?
I love this! This is so true! I literally just posted a video on what ux is yesterday....and your video puts mine to shame. LOL I'm new to video though, but not new to UX. I've always hated the divide between UX/UI it should be UIX! Amiright?
Hey man, loving your videos.
Really inspiring. I specially love the "Hard Work is a Lie" video.
A lot of great insight.
Thanks Renato!
Thank you Ran for this awesome helpful information :)
& if i may ask "what books do you recommend?" according to your experience and the wide range of knowledge you have..
Thanks again :D
I've created a full recommendation page: ransegall-com.webflow.io/recommendations
Thanks. How to start in design then ?
How to get a entry level job in UI/UX design ? What are the skills to learn before we apply ? Starting salary ? Thank you
If your reason is to get more paid or higher salary. your starting point is probably wrong or you may not get through, because UX is all about dealing with complexities and solving the problems with empathy and deep thoughts. Cheers.
- NO HARD FEELINGS
@@kamdeihlian9412 Ux appeals to me first because of it requiring empathy and understanding how people interact with thing, I just need to be able to live off it.
hello Flux. Thanks for all your videos so far, they've been absolutely amazing. This is more of a personal question and I will appreciate your honest reply. DO GRAPHIC ARTIST NEED CERTIFICATIONS TO BE PROFESSIONALS? DOES CERTIFICATIONS ADD TO THEIR CHANCES OF BEING HIRED? Thanks
see my video regarding design schools
Which books do you recommend? I've been doing graphic and web design for years but having trouble getting into a UX role simply because I don't usually show a lot of the work as far as the decision making process. Because I've been doing it for many years, I feel like a lot of that is intuitive, or second nature to me, but I know people that are looking to hire for that role want to see that as part of the design process and not just the end product. I am though going back through my projects and sort of "redoing" and documenting everything like a ux designer would, from initial meeting notes, to research, brainstorming, strategy, ideation, sitemap, wireframing, to high fidelity mockups, interaction and final design.
I have a video with book recommendation, not sure if it has UX books in it but anywayz, one of my favorite books is "design of everyday things"
Yea actually after I wrote that comment I went through your channel and searched for book recommendations haha. Thanks man.
thanks a lot!!
What are the practical steps I can take towards working in UX design?
Is the point of this video that I should seek to work in graphic design or some other related field to establish a baseline set of skills then steer towards UX?
So useful, I'm glad I subscribed to ur channel😎😀👌
More one great video, what do you think about joining my design friend with prosporo? It's all about proposals...
Hello Flux,
I have a question for you about UX.
How would you use a UX Design approach if the client wanted to redesign a PLM system, a CMS or something related in that group?
In my opinion, seems like UX term has lost its meaning..
Let me just tell you I really enjoy your videos, I've been watching them for some time and I've enjoyed all of them. Thanks very much for doing this.
Have a nice one!
Hey, I'm not sure I really understand the question - I believe design thinking / user centric design is a process that should always be used whatever you're designing.
So I'm young guy and want a job in this what else do I need to know to start applying cause im pretty good at it but not sure
If I need
Other skills like code
Well if you're doing websites you most likely need to learn how to code, there's software you can use so that It'll translate the design into code but if you want to have full control over the design and overall get really good at it I think you should learn, CSS, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, maybe even some PHP and server side if you want to do things like AJAX requests, you can just look up all these things for a good start, and don't worry I'm 100% sure you'll find other things along the way, maybe learn to work on Sketch or Figma or other software to do wireframes and mockup designs so you have something to present to clients
Yo great video tht u have made..... But i want to know that. is there required any particular deegree to become designer....
Any educational background r required?
not required, but it's helpful, I have a video about design schools
Flux thnx for reply i wanna talk pls 7678456113
... could you mention some great literature about ux ? thnx
Hey, I am pimary an UI designer working with a ux designer together but yeah, you are right... we are mixing our stuff up. So, any books for the topics you told us in recommendation? :)
the design of everyday things.
Best of luck finding a designer that you would like to build a culture with.
Ran, I learn a lot from your videos and you have awesome musical taste :) do you listen to psychedelic trance as well like Astrix, Infected Mushroom, Astral Projection, etc...?
Form without function. It's the fundamentals of design. Otehrwise, just go to art...
Hey man, really liked that jumper / faux hoodie. Where'd you get that from?

What you use to develop this site(for find junior designers)? WebFlow?
designed on webflow and backend with meteor.
It is peculiar that you focus so much on the visual aspect of UX Design, while it is probably 10-15% of the job in creating a user experience. The very CORE of user experience design is user-centricity - the ability to run proper research, discover the needs and pains of the users, and build the experience around those insights. If you fail doing that, the visual design won't save your product.
Great video! I was looking for an electric bike to tackle the hills of Seattle and was wondering what brand of bike you are using?
not really a brand, here they just import them from china :)
How important is it to get a "certification" in UX/UI to be qualified for jobs?
not as important as your portfolio.
Would be great if you could recommend some books for UX
I have a recommendation page, see description
hi there ... i want to know how do you do user research or personna creation while working remotely ?
Work hard

Be nice
To people
Just curiosity... how do you make those forms? Do you have programming knowledge? if so, which language do you use? PHP?

Great content Ran!
Cheers (:
Dude, get a microphone! You'll get sound quality much better. By the way guitars is an awesome example man.
I did, this is an old video
and how can we register to my designer friends?
unfortunately you can't unless you know somebody who's there, it's invite only
Hey. i also play guitar 😂. right now i am a trainee ux designer but um really not getting what i am expect feom the place that i am working right now. its is a fix time project so there is no time for to do my job. as my interahip is this good??? and my techleads are not good and design. they always give me shit colors. i won't get a chance to make decisions there. i really need to know how to convinced them. i know from a experience we will be a gppd ux guy but before that what is your idea. is it good to do only HTML and CSS after doing a software engineering degree ? my knowledge stack is so low when i compare it with my other developer friends. what is your opinion about this.
wait a sec, you have a background in graphic design.
You can't separate UI to UX? Uhh...
The User Interface is directly correlated to the User Experience, so no you can't seperate them. A bad UI means a bad UX. A good UI means a good UX.
so you think design is more important than usability
+Jack Samurai No. I think usability is easier to learn.
Legendas em português ;-------; ou pelo menos em espanhol
700th like congrats !!
You live in Isreal?! So cool!
I am :)
That was a nice example! Lol
Sorry man, I don't agree with you at all, the core of UX is totally not the visual design, in fact, it's exactly the opposite it's just the shell. Usability, Information Architecture, Interaction Design, Content strategy and in the very core there's psychology and emotional design.
Also it's not only about the users and how it addresses their needs and what's its value proposition, it's also about the business objectives and how to achieve its goals. simpleia.com

ממש אשמח אם תכתוב עוד בלוגים בסטייל של "יצאתי בינוני", גאוני.. :)
מאז שהתחלתי עם הוידאו די הפסקתי לכתוב.. תודה!
This is obsolete thinking and we have moved away from this kind of belief. We now know that UX and UI are completely different in that UX is left brain and UI is right brain. We now separate those roles and recruit very different profiles for each. The first time we tried this different approach, we got a huge 54% increase in conversion rates.
Jesus.... I can see a lot of pro's cringing after watching that
Why’s that?
Thought you talked alot about nothing. Then thought we'd want to see you ride bike, buy some clothes and show off loads of superficial stuff
