You are familiar with graphic design, visual design and typography. But what makes UX design different from graphic design? Yes, both require storyboarding, communication techniques, programming and design skills. Moreover, the original goal of a UX designer is to shape the experience an audience feels when interacting with software, a website, or an application. It is important to know your product and customer in the process of UX designing. UX designers create and develop systems that drive tech-focused interactive products, with the goal of enhancing the user experience.

At the beginning of the UX design, it is distinct with two different phases. One is research and the other one is validation. The UX designers use a variety of useful tools and methods to analyse the customers and their needs. And after delivering the product to the customer’s hand, it requires validation to determine if the product is producing the desired result or not, if the customers are happy using them, and identify potential solutions.

User Experience Design is a process for designing systems that offer a great experience to users
Justin Mifsud, Founder of Usability Geek

The 15 rules followed by every UX designer are – 

  1. UX design is not only User Interface (UI), but it is also User Experience
  2. The designer needs to research the audience
  3. Testing with real users is an essential part
  4. No need to overwhelm users with too much information
  5. Adaptation required for the design process
  6. The design phase must include a prototyping stage
  7. Using real content when designing
  8. Simplicity and consistency is core
  9. Users can automatically recognise how to use the interface
  10. Design must me usable and accessible to diverse set of users
  11. Not to solve a problem without involving real users
  12. It is a counties process of solving problems in a process of check > think > make.
  13. Preventing errors rather fixing
  14. Accept feedback from the audience as well as offer information
  15. Avoiding dramatic redesigns

These days, with such a lot of accentuation on user focused design, portraying and supporting the significance of planning and improving the user experience appears to be practically superfluous. We could just say, “It’s significant on the grounds that it manages our clients’ necessities — end of conversation,” and everybody would presumably be happy with that.

The usability of an item’s plan assists us with understanding whether clients can finish responsibilities efficiently and effectively. Having great UX without great usability is incomprehensible. However, convenience is only one characteristic of good UX. Convenience assists us with making great working items, however the way that an item is not difficult to utilise doesn’t ensure that individuals will utilise it.
