Thank you so much. Lately, I have been thinking about which direction of design to choose. After watching this video I understood that graphic design is for me and not UX/UI design. Once again, thank you so much. Great content!
Did I need to learn coding if I'm going into UIX
So is this different from a full stack developer?
Nice content!
I would encourage anyone to learn the basic of Graphic Design concepts and Fundamentals. Currently trying to switch my career to a more UX/UI related job from Web/Digital Advertising. Maybe a Visual Designer. Understanding the Modernist Design History, and Minimalist design concepts help me create UI layouts. Keep it clean, and don't over design.
Wish I’d seen this before I’d done a Ux design bootcamp. I think I like graphic design more…
I am confused between which course graphic design and ui/ux design pls help mee
Can you please help???I'm final year mcs student,having knowledge of html/css and having good skills of sketching,drawing on paper but i refer another artists sketch from Pinterest but now I'm confused what is better for me whether graphic or ui..and I don't have any knowledge how to use any software of it but keen to learn it and interested in designing/explore more it but can't decide one.😏😏
Is it necessary for someone aspiring to be a UI designer to also be a UX Designer? Can someone find a job with only the title of UI designer? I enjoy your videos they're informative.
your videos are really helpful
Thanks for this video, I am looking to transition from illustration into UI design, this was super informative and helped define what all the differences are.
a bit lengthy. good info. 2017, do you have an updated one?
I am a photo editor with having passion and hunger for editing.
You're cute, and SMART. Wow, can they make more woman like you… 🙂
Thank you so much for this breakdown. This just reassured me that I made the right choice with traditional graphic design. I just love visual aesthetics moreso than anything. And that's okay. 🤷🏾♀️😂 I've recently been having doubts that this might be a dead end field, but we'll just have to see within the next decade. I don't think there will ever not be a need for graphic art in some way, shape or form.
I struggle with code a lot
I'm a Software Engineer having a passion and skill for designing.
Would you say working as a UX/UI designer helps you take on both the tech/strategy and the visual design role? I would love to do both and work across the project's entire life cycle. Is this most common in mid sized digital design agencies?
In countries like India, their is huge difference between payout checks when it comes to UI/Ux design and traditional graphic designer, salaries of graphic designer's are in no comparison when it comes to what UI/Ux designers are getting, I hope this might not be a case in any european and American countries.
Great explanation and packed with valuable information thank you!
Thanks
tech design is for the curious, creative and engineer minded people, graphic design is for the highly visually and creative mind
Im sorry but saying that traditional design is mostly about aestetics is not correct. You may be need to reevaluate this statement.
Glad to find you here! Subscribe!!
which degree should i persue to become ui/ux designer?
Hey thank you for clearing it all out, I have a question though, which one of these would you recommend in context of the amount of money you can earn and also the scope of these professions?
