UX Designer or
User Experience Designer
As for UX, it means User Experience. It is dependent on the interaction a user has with the app. When
they go through a web page or app, do they feel clunky? Do they have a hard time figuring what is where
or one look at the page tells them where they want to go?
When they are going through the page, do they feel they have accomplished the purpose of visiting the
page, or does every second feels like a struggle?
The user experience is partially dependent on the user interface. It gauges the difficulty or ease of
interacting with user interface elements.
Yes, mostly, even a user experience designer has the job of making sure the interface and
information
architecture is smooth. That
is why it is extremely easy to confuse the two. However, the apparent difference is that while UI
designers are more concerned with how a page or application looks at first glance to the user, UX
designers pay attention to how everything on the page operates.
They are more concerned with the functionality of the interface, along with the overall structure. If
the elements are put together nicely, the user will have a pleasant experience. However, if the
navigation turns out to be complicated, it will deter the users.
UI Designer or
User Interface Designer
The word UI stands for User Interface. The designers pay attention to how an entire webpage or
application is laid out. They take care of designing all the materials the user will come into
contact
with. The text, buttons, sliders, transitions, animations, everything is dependent on them.
They want to make sure the user can follow the trail UX designer has left behind visually. They decide
whether it is the control or the slider that is responsible for adjusting the graph.
They are also in charge of the cohesiveness of a web page or application. They make sure the design
language is the same for all the elements on a page. From the color schemes used on a page to the shape
of the buttons, the fonts and lines, and the visual representation of an application, everything is
under UI designer’s purview.
Essentially, UI designers are what you would call graphic designers. Their entire job revolves around
deciding what is aesthetically pleasing. They want to make sure a web page or application appears
attractive to its visitors and conveys the personality of the application as well.
