I was working in print design. Recently i switched into UX. So what are the things I should focus on.
1 Answer
User Interface (UI) designer:
- the what person
- deals primarily with the visual details, the graphic aspect of applications
- is more commonly familiar with only the static states of applications
- partially responsible for focusing the user's attention on elements
- keeps up with current trends and styles
User Experience (UX) practitioner:
- the why person
- many are not designers, and UX is not just about design
- has his or her hands in every aspect of the product's development
- is more of a coordinator, project manager and director
- they concern themselves with everything from the tone and voice of the copy, the information architecture, taxonomy, to the color and texture of the UI elements
- they focus on research, psychology, testing and advocacy
- the best UX'ers are the ones that constantly advocate for the user they ensure that everything is balanced and the experience doesn't lose out to other business interests (bottom-line), department conflicts (we need more advertising space) and other non-user minded things
There always got some one who vote and devote just try to gain it from social.

Although you'll find that there are basically UX Designer jobs (primarily focussed on design and software - and UX Researcher jobs (Primarily focussed on user research and psychology). Some companies try to do cover both roles with the one person, but personally I think it's such a broad skill range that it's not covered properly.– PhillipWSep 26, 2016 at 9:09

@PhillipW Yeah you are correct. I have this issue, the company I work for officially claims I'm a "Interaction and UX designer", yet I'm also an information architect and visual designer.. even a little bit of front-end developing. It's called unicorn in this business :)– MJBSep 26, 2016 at 11:47

I've generally stuck to being an expert on people and the way they think. It has got easier since 2010 since there's more recognition that in a bigger organisation that you need different people to handle the overall UX process.– PhillipWSep 26, 2016 at 12:00
