Chapter 1: What Is UX Design?

UX vs UI

User Experience (UX) is how a product feels to use.

User Interface (UI) is how it looks.

UX focuses on:

  • Solving real problems
  • Making tasks easy
  • Reducing frustration

UI focuses on:

  • Colors, fonts, spacing
  • Icons and buttons
  • Visual style

> Great UI cannot fix bad UX.

Goals of UX Design

A good UX design aims to:

  • Be useful: solves a real need
  • Be usable: simple and clear
  • Be accessible: works for many people
  • Be desirable: feels pleasant
  • Be reliable: behaves as expected

If users get lost, confused, or annoyed, UX is failing.

UX in Everyday Life

UX is not just apps and websites:

  • A bus ticket machine 🚌
  • A microwave panel
  • A school timetable

Ask:

1. Is it obvious what to do next?

2. Can a new user succeed first try?

3. What happens if they make a mistake?

These are UX questions.

UX Design Process (Big Picture)

UX design usually follows this loop:

1. Research users and context

2. Define the problem

3. Ideate many solutions

4. Prototype the best ideas

5. Test with users

6. Improve based on feedback

Then repeat. UX is never truly “done”.
