Ux-Design
UX Was Never Just About Interfaces. Here’s What Happened.
I did not know the term “UX design” when I started my Master’s in Interaction Design at Université Laval (called Multimedia Design at the time). What drew me in was something Éric Kavanagh, the program director, said to me before submitting my application: it is design with a capital D. We are here to solve ill-defined problems.
What to expect from all levels of UX designers?
It is a common knowledge that new grad or junior professionals usually are faced with an experience requirement gap when searching for a job. The employer will usually add a minimum experience in their job description which leads the newly graduated professional to ask the following conundrum: “How do I get a job to build experience if I need experience to get my entry-level job?” The problem here lies in different facets of the job market. While the applicant, even though they might think they are well fitted for the job, the employer might have a different idea, but sometimes, I think it relies solely on one thing: expectations.
What really is UX design?
Every day we live new experiences. From standing up from bed to taking a shower or preparing a cup of coffee, we are constantly interacting with products and services that make our experiences great or bad. When we enjoy an experience, we want more of it. Here is where UX design can shine.
How is UX Design impacting the world?
When we think about UX, we usually fall into the idea that it is a technical and systemized procedure, but UI/UX Design Glossary describes it as the general attitude and emotional feedback that a user has at different stages of using the product. That is why it is expected that User Experience design has a large impact on the tech future.
