What is UI & UX?
The terms “UI” (User Interface) and “UX” (User Experience) facilitate better communication, better problem solving, better design and better user experience for Software Apps(Web + Mobile + Desktop). The quality of a user’s experience with the App greatly influences the person’s level of trust and confidence and compels them to act. The user interface, in turn, gives users a means to act on it. In other words, the UI is a point of interaction, while UX is the interaction itself.
What’s the need for UI / UX Prototyping? (Add on in Designing)
Most clients are non-technical, while software developers are technical. If an App UI and UX is not fixed before starting the production – project deadline can drag and increase budget.Static Prototypes have been created in Photoshop or Indesign for ages. With Interactive prototypes – clients and software developers are on the same page as they can get a feel of a real like application where they can click, drag, surf multiple pages, see form validations and much more.Graphic designers are best equipped to design UI and UX but for developing interactive prototypes programming and scripting knowledge is needed. With professional tool for prototyping such as Axure RP, designers can create interactive wireframes without worrying about code. Designers do what they are good at designing.
I hope this will help you in deciding whether you should go for designing or not.
