UX vs UI vs IA vs IxD : 4 Confusing Digital Design Terms Defined

Once upon a time, if you said the word “design”, the odds were overwhelmingly likely you were talking about graphic design. But nowadays, the digital world is becoming increasingly more complicated and a lot of new job positions appearing, which lead to confusion for people outside or new to the design industry. Here’s a quick overview on the four different primary forms of design to help you understand what they mean.

User experience design encompasses traditional human–computer interaction (HCI) design, and extends it by addressing all aspects of a product or service as perceived by users. ” UX designer is the person in charge with creating the products “logic” via wireframes and pr...

The 6 Most Common Prototyping Mistakes & Selection of Prototyping Tools

Prototype aims to provide a buffer to analyze products to reduce the risk of making mistakes before developers enter the development link. While errors are often the best teachers, product development can not be in one step, and it must go through a rough to complete the process. Prototypes should therefore reduce the risk of delivering defective products as far as possible. Nevertheless, in the case of prototyping, many developers can always make some typical errors. I summed up 6 common mistakes and 3 practical prototyping tools. The 6 most typical prototyping errors Although prototypes offer only a limited amount of features and functionalities, they play an essential role in the development cycle. Prototype offers many advantages, not least saving time and money, offering  the value of UX research in product development . At the same time, the use of prototypes also means that products get in-depth analysis and research and can improve the collaboration between clien...

User Experience First: Creating Optimal Product with Prototyping Tools

Prototyping tools are the companions on the journey from idea to app. An architect doesn’t start a house by first digging out the cellar. After the first rough sketch, he will develop digital and real models step by step, in which he tries out and refines his ideas over time. Similarly, interface designers build a user interface (UI) piece by piece. But it is about more than just a good UI. Users should have a good time with an application, gradually love it, or at least not always detest it. A  good user experience (UX)  is vital. In order to avoid a negative experience in "inauguration ceremony" of the "building", a design must take full account of the users’ feelings and experience. As long as the "building" hasn’t been completed yet, prototypes are needed. Important factors of UX design There are three factors that influence the development of an application elementally: Functionality: What can the application do? Interactivity: How do...
