A UX Design Road Map For Starters
User Experience Design is a very important technique needed to create ground breaking products that can leave a mark. Nothing is better than a product design that can make users come back for more.
I invented the term because I thought human interface and usability were too narrow. I wanted to cover all aspects of the person’s experience with the system including industrial design graphics, the interface, the physical interaction and the manual. Since then the term has spread widely, so much so that it is starting to lose its meaning.
