What is UX Design
User experience (UX) design is one of the newest fields of design and has become one of the most important ones in recent years. UX design is the process where a designer looks at the behavior of the users and tries to create an interface where the interaction between the users and the design is optimal. Where user interface designers are more focused on the visual representation of a design, the UX designer is more focused on the interaction and experience of the design. While UX designers are currently one of the most sought-after designers by most major corporations, being educated on UX design still seems to be a lot harder than, for example, becoming a UI designer. The main reason behind this problem seems to be the fact that this field of design is so new and there aren't many people available to teach UX design in person. Luckily, there has been an influx of UX design classes on the internet. Sites like Skillshare already have a large collection of all kinds of UX design classes. Learning online has become the main way that designers have been learning about UX as that seems to be the easiest way to spread knowledge about this relatively new field of design.
