Unit - 1 Foundations of Design UI vs UX Design- Core Stages of Design Thinking – Divergent and Convergent Thinking – Brain storming and Game Storming – Observational Empathy What is user interface (UI)? • The user interface (UI) is the point of human-computer interaction and communication in a device. This can include display screens, keyboards, a mouse and the appearance of a desktop. It is also the way through which a user interacts with an application or a website. • The growing dependence of many businesses on web applications and mobile applications has led many companies to place increased priority on UI in an effort to improve the user's overall experience. Types of user interfaces
• The various types of user interfaces include:
graphical user interface (GUI)
command line interface (CLI)
menu-driven user interface
touch user interface
voice user interface (VUI)
form-based user interface
natural language user interface
Examples of user interfaces Some examples of user interfaces include: computer mouse remote control virtual reality ATMs speedometer the old iPod click wheel What is User Experience (UX) Design? • User experience (UX) design is the process design teams use to create products that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users. UX design involves the design of the entire process of acquiring and integrating the product, including aspects of branding, design, usability and function. • Designing an experience includes not only making the software easy to use but also designing the other experiences related to the product, for example, the marketing campaign, the packaging and after-sales support. Most importantly, UX design is concerned with delivering solutions that address pain points and needs. Design thinking is an iterative and non-linear process that contains five phases: 1.Empathize, 2. Define, 3. Ideate, 4. Prototype and 5. Test. • Stage 1: Empathize—Research Your Users' Needs Stage 2: Define—State Your Users' Needs and Problems Stage 3: Ideate—Challenge Assumptions and Create Ideas Stage 4: Prototype—Start to Create Solutions Stage 5: Test—Try Your Solutions Out What is divergence? Divergence is the process of exploring and generating a wide range of ideas and possibilities without any judgment or criticism. Divergent thinking allows designers to expand the possibilities and consider different perspectives, angles, and dimensions of the problem.
What is convergence? Convergent thinking refers to the process of selecting, evaluating, and refining the most promising ideas from the divergent phase. It involves narrowing down and refining possibilities by selecting the best ideas and combining them to create a coherent and effective solution.
