A brief introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">User interface (UI) design is the process of designing the look, feel and interactivity of a digital product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you use an app or visit a website, you move through different screens and interact with various elements in order to find your way around and complete certain tasks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example: if you want to transfer some money via your mobile banking app, you move from the login screen to your account summary and then to the transfer screen. You enter your login details into the relevant boxes, then you click the \u201cSign in\u201d button to complete the process. From there, you might click on a particular menu item (e.g. My Account Summary) and swipe up and down in order to scroll.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of these screens, buttons and interactions are part of the user interface and they\u2019re all designed by a user interface (UI) designer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can learn more about <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what UI design is in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/blog\/what-is-ui-design\/\">introductory guide<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-does-a-UI-designer-do\"><strong><a id=\"what-does-a-ui-designer-do\"><\/a>What does a UI designer do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UI designers design all the screens that make up a digital user interface, as well as the individual elements featured on those screens. As such, they consider both the overall layout of each individual screen <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how all the separate screens fit together.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their goal is to create user interfaces that look great, accurately convey the brand and are easy and enjoyable to navigate from the user\u2019s perspective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UI designers typically take care of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colours and imagery<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Typography<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spacing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The visual design, positioning and behaviour of UI elements such as buttons, text and form fields, drop-down lists, scrollbars, icons and checkboxes (to name a few)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Animations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Responsive design\u2014ensuring that the design adapts to different devices and screen sizes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Accessible and inclusive design<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to hands-on design work, UI designers may also be responsible for developing and overseeing a UI style guide. This is to ensure consistency across all aspects of the product, as well as across different products.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"What\u2019s-the-difference-between-UX-and-UI-designers?\"><strong>What\u2019s the difference between UX and UI designers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>UI designers are not the same as UX designers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. They\u2019re both concerned with creating intuitive, enjoyable, user-friendly products but they cover different aspects of the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colman Walsh, CEO of the UX Design Institute, uses the luxury hotel analogy to explain <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/blog\/whats-the-difference-between-ui-and-ux-design\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the difference between UX and UI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/05d1EpN-PV0\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you were building a luxury hotel, you\u2019d have two key people on the job; an architect to design the overall structure of the hotel and an interior designer to take care of how the hotel looks and feels once it\u2019s been built.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s the same with digital products like websites and apps. The UX designer (i.e. the architect) maps out the entire user journey. They\u2019re not concerned with the look or feel of the product but the logistics of how the user will move from A to B. UX designers are all about the user experience. They design to solve specific user problems, keeping the user front and centre at all times. At the same time, they design with business goals in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The UI designer (i.e. the interior designer) doesn\u2019t enter the process until the blueprint has been laid out by the UX designer. They furnish the \u201chotel\u201d (i.e. the digital product) with colour, visuals and interactive elements. The UI designer also designs with the end user in mind and they play a crucial role in creating a first-class user experience. While the UX designer focuses on the product as a whole, the UI designer focuses on the look and feel of the product interface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So: UX and UI designers are both part of the product design process, and they both work to create intuitive, user-friendly experiences. However, they focus on different aspects of the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019d like to learn more about what a UX designer does, read <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/blog\/ux-process\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this introduction to the UX design process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"What-are-the-tasks-and-responsibilities-of-a-UI-designer?\"><strong>What are the tasks and responsibilities of a UI designer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In their day-to-day work, UI designers may take on a variety of different tasks and responsibilities.
