2. Throughout time and many projects, I learned the fact that there are many, many
individuals that don’t understand the difference between UI and UX design…and
I’m not even surprised. It’s a complex area of expertise that needs to take a lot of
things into consideration when referring to the terms “UI and UX”.
First of all UI (aka ‘GUI’) stands for Graphical User Interface and UX stands for
User Experience. I found many definitions which describe very accurately the
terms of UI, but in my personal opinion the simplest and shortest is the following:
the UI is the graphical illustration of the UX process. On the other hand, the UX is
the process of planning, creating & enhancing the customer interaction and the
product/website usability.
