The terms UI and UX (design) are very often and used as a single term by many people or designers. The first thing we need to know straight is that UI and UX are not the same. Design is a rather broad and huge term. When someone says “I’m a designer,” it is not that clear what they actually do. There are a number of different responsibilities term designer. There are many aspects of design now a days.

1. UX/UI in
DEPTH

2. Introduction
Design related roles exist in a wide range of
areas from industrial (Automobiles,
Engineering) to print(Magazine, publications)
to Tech companies(Web, Software, Apps).
With the relatively recent tech companies
focused on creating interfaces for screens,
many new design roles have emerged. Job
titles like UX or UI designer are confusing and
unfamiliar even to designers who come from
other industries.
The terms UI and UX (design) are very often and

The first thing we need to know straight is that UI
and UX are not the same.
Design is a rather broad and huge term. When
someone says “I’m a designer,” it is not that clear
what they actually do. There are a number of
different responsibilities term designer. There are
many aspects of design now a days.
It’s common for designers to use these terms incorrectly sometimes. If you don’t know the difference
between UI and UX, in today’s post we’ll describe a bit deeper into UI and UX to get a better
understanding of the differences between them.

What is UI Design?
Simply UI stands for User Interface. The graphical
representation of any application or framework is UI
design. UI is what we are seeing in front of us while
browsing the websites of using the software and mobile
application. The main role of UI designer is to maintain
the consistency in the visual elements and defining their
behavior. It consists the visual representation of button,
text, images, slider, entry fields in the form and many
more.

What is UX design?
UX stands for User eXperience. What the user can
experience or the interaction with the UI design is User
Experience. The UX designer determines the functionality
and structure of the UI design. The UI Designer designs
the button of the web site and the UX designer design
how it works and what happens when the user clicks or
hover in that button. The pleasure provided in the
interaction between the customer and the product.

The Case study
Back in the 1970’s or lets' say in the early age of the computer,
you had to use the command line interface if you wanted to
use a computer. The graphical interfaces which we use today
didn’t exist. For a computer to work, users needed to
communicate via programming language, requiring seemingly
infinite lines of code to complete a simple task.
This shift in technology helped anyone could use a computer, with no
coding required, and the personal computer revolution began.

6. After decade in 1980’s the first graphical user
interface (GUI) was developed by computer
scientists at Xerox PARC. With this breathtaking
innovation, users could now interact with their
personal computers by visually submitting
commands through icons, buttons, menus, and
checkboxes.

7. In 1984 Apple released the Macintosh personal computer which
included a point and click mouse for the first time in the computer
history. The Macintosh became commercially successful home
computer to use this type of interface.
If users couldn’t interact with their computers in the way they
wanted, they wouldn’t buy it. So as a result, the UI designer was
born.
With the growing technology, the UI designer’s role has evolved and
has been vast. Now UI designers are not limited just on computer
interfaces, but mobile phones, augmented and virtual reality, and
even or screenless interfaces like voice, gesture, and light.
Today’s UI designer has nearly unlimited opportunities to work on
websites, mobile apps, wearable technology, and smart home
devices, software interface just to name a few. There will be the
need to make the interfaces as long as computers continue to be a
part of daily life.

The difference between
UI and UX design
👉 UI is focused on how a product’s surfaces or interface looks and function, UX is
focused on the user’s journey to solve a problem.
👉 UI designer to focus on the more visual elements, UX designer is concerned with the
conceptual aspects.
👉 UI designer to focus on the more visual elements, UX designer is concerned with the
conceptual aspects.
UI makes interfaces beautiful, UX makes interfaces useful
UI determines the look while UX searches for solutions
UI is the bridge to go somewhere, UX is the feeling we get there.

So, What’s More Important?
A beautiful design with no good presentation is
going to fail because users are going to hate
trying to use the site. But, any site which has
great functionality with no focus on design and
key notes will fall equally as flat. So we need both
hand in hand. They are two coins of the same
side. They have to go parallel.
The short answer is both.

10. 6.
UI vs UX, the conclusion
some designers or professionals get angry when the
topic raises. Some say that the two are completely
unrelated and that they shouldn’t be discussed
together. While others say that both are same and no
need to discuss. Honestly, though, we won’t avoid
thinking about one without the other.
After this long discussion what we can conclude is:
UI is simply the first thing we can work on as part of UX
design.
A beautiful design can’t save an interface that’s horrible and
confusing to navigate.
Likewise a brilliant, perfect user experience can be sunk by
bad visual interface
design that makes using the app unpleasant.
