All language subtitles for 3. What is UI vs UX - User Interface vs User Experience vs Product Designer

All right.

A couple of things we need to discuss before we move on and some of that terminology that gets used

in both this course and in the industry just so that you know what I'm talking about when I'm going

through the course and the main ones are if you've ever seen like job applications online where they

say you need to be a you X UI designer or a product designer.

So we'll cover kind of what those are and what the different responsibilities are.

Now before we go on.

If you view me I act as all of them.

I work as a freelancer so I take on small projects and I have to do the role.

So I'll just guess what they all are individually.

And basically if you're in a small one two three four five man agency or design shop you again to be

it you're going to be the UI designer UX designer and the product designer.

And if you're working at larger companies large organizations or big big agencies you might be split

off and be one of these things individually.

So what is it.

UI designer is the person responsible for making things.

So you'll be looking at kind of say it's a website design you'll be looking through consistent icons

you'll be building you'll be looking at fonts and colors kind of visual themes throughout the app or

web design Siri UI design a user interface looking at the page furniture all that the things that are

on the page so you can be just that a UX designer often is all of the UI stuff plus you are looking

at both the brief and the users that are going to be using it.

So maybe the personas that you've built.

OK and building for that and then testing that case are working through the actual testing and then

coming back and adjusting so that UI designer often won't have that other part came.

So yeah that's a UX designer.

You do the UI but there's there's some other parts around it which we'll discuss.

And that course.

So that's the UX designer.

All right.

The last term we'll cover is a product designer.

So what does a product designer versus a UX designer now.

Often if I'm a product designer what I'll be is I'll be a UX designer as well as a product designer.

But I'll have more responsibility in a team.

And you can't really be a product designer in a small agency or by myself like I am.

You need to be in a bigger company because often the product designer is has a lot of managerial roles.

So you be in charge of not only the UI and the kind of user testing but you'll be working with the stakeholders

the clients and getting direction from them you'll be working with the engineering team who's actually

building this thing and potentially the UI designers multiple UX designers and you'll be making sure

everyone's kind of hitting in the right direction playing the right way.

It's not the word but you know what I mean.

So a product designer has kind of a global kind of sense of the product from lots of different teams

and we'll deal with them all individually and kind of make sure everyone's going the same way.

OK.

So you'll be you'll be in charge of kind of making sure your budgets ahead timelines ahead.

Meetings are held you'll be doing all the the meetings and the stand ups.

So product designer I guess here is a is a bigger role if you will kind of from maybe traditional design.

Think of it like a studio manager.

OK this is a bit more kind of organization or things involved.

So to recap product designer K will look after the entire project with lots of people make sure it's

all going well and is working perfectly on Budget and is working for the users and is all on the right

timeline.

OK sure waving my hands out here but feels lofty that role.

OK.

Then there's a UX designer whose sole focus is on the user.

OK.

They want to make sure within the budgets that they've been given by the product designer K and the

timeline budgets.

They want it within those boundaries.

They want to make sure that the user experience is amazing they whatever the goals are they are getting

hit.

And you will test them and design and get it ready.

And if you're a UI designer and often your that you are kind of lacking there the testing phase you

are looking at the more kind of traditional way of working when we're building Web sites where it's

just kind of like giving it up getting it out and and the other thing to look at is that if you're at

a small place or doing your own stuff like me you are all of these.

So you're just trying to make it all happen.

But those are the kind of key terms you need to understand when somebody is advertising for a product

designer.

You know if you're brand new you might not be ready for that because you've never dealt with.

You never run a standup which is kind of a meeting where everyone stands up quick meetings in the mornings.

But and you enjoy the you know the user you know the user experience design side of it but maybe not

the product design side.

Other thing to note is that most people the term gets used real loosely all of them.

And so you'll see all students Lee might say is this a job that I can and knows.

Somebody said when a graphic designer.

Web design a UX design videographer product designer and they're just kind of thrown it all in there

because it's either going through an H.R. company that's not too sure about the roles or they're just

looking for somebody who could be the best.

The junior role and it's got product designer in there so often you need to clarify with whoever has

got that don't don't say I'm not going to do it.

Okay.

You need to find out what the role involves because they just kind of often jobs can be too vague came

what they really need is somebody who's you know a really good print designer but they're just thrown

and other things are really kind of find out from Hoover's advertising the job or the key kind of what

the high percentage of that job work is going to be what field because nobody can be amazing at all

of them.

So check that out.

Now lastly and this course we're looking at being a UX designer.

K. so we're going to look at briefs.

We're going to look at the personas take those into account make a beautiful product test it come back

make it amazing and yet that's gonna be our job in this course and we're gonna use Adobe expertise to

do it.

All right.

That's it.

Let's get into the next video will quickly look at our brief and the personas that we're going to use

to build our product in this course.

All right let's jump in there now.
