Overview
UI/UX Designer is a cool new title for an in-demand Web design role.
UI/UX Designer
For better or worse, the terms UI and UX are increasingly converging in one new Web marketing role: UI/UX Designer. Many traditional technology managers insist the roles should be separate, with UI Designers designing and programming interfaces to accomplish specific tasks, and UX Designers focusing on evaluating and improving a user experience.
Employers are throwing away the pocket protectors and looking for Web designer/developers who can design and program with the user’s emotions in mind. The result is the UI/UX Designer, able to design intelligible Web or screen interfaces, ensure they work, and make them an exciting, and memorable part of the customer experience.
UI/UX Designers: Turning the user interface into an experience
Q: WHAT DOES A UI/UX DESIGNER DO?
At a nuts and bolts level, a UI/UX Designer may be designing interface elements like buttons and dropdown lists, or navigation components like search fields and tags, or informational items like user response messages and progress bars. At a more abstract level, he or she may in charge of evaluating: “What was the user experience like? Was the system easy to navigate? What percentage of users returned to use the system again?”
UI/UX Designers should have strong coding skills and be well-versed in current Web standards, including best practices for usability and accessibility. Both areas require a good eye for design and close attention to detail. UI/UX designers should be comfortable working across the Adobe Creative suite: from Photoshop and InDesign to Flash and Dreamweaver. One recent job ad for a UI/UX Designer says it all: “To succeed, you must understand how to make something beautiful and insanely functional.”
