Jobs in the field of user experience

 

UX designers come from a lot 

of different backgrounds: 

marketers, 

artists, 

teachers, 

small business owners, 

cashiers, or anything really. 

Rather than sharing similar work histories, 

UX designers tend to share 

common skills and interests instead. 

A lot of UX designers have a good sense for visuals, 

which means you recognize when an image fits 

or doesn't fit in the space 

or what colors complement each other. 

But you don't need to know anything about 

graphic design or even be 

able to draw to be a UX designer. 

UX designers tend to be curious about people 

and like thinking about how people's minds work. 

They also enjoy figuring out how people use 

products and how to make those products easier to use. 

UX designers are empathetic too. 

Empathy is the ability to understand someone else's feelings or thoughts in a situation, and it's a major part of UX.

Now let's explore what those UX designers actually do. 

When you think of the word "design," 

you might think it's all about 

the visual aspects of a product. 

But it's only one small part 

of what the UX designers might do. 

In fact, there are many different kinds of UX designers: 

interaction designers, visual designers, and motion designers.

1.  Interaction designers: 
   focus on designing the experience of 
   a product and how it functions. 
   They figure out how to connect the users' needs and the business's goals with what's actually feasible to build. 
2. Visual designers: 
   focus on how a product or technology looks. 
   They might be responsible for designing 
   logos, illustrations, or icons. 
   They may also decide font color and size, or work on product layouts.
3. Motion designers: 
   think about what it feels like for 
   a user to move through a product and 
   how to create smooth transitions between 
   pages on an app or a website.
