Description
UI (User Interface) design is a purely digital practice that considers all the visual and interactive elements of an interface: colour range, typography, shapes, composition and spacing, buttons, icons and photos. The objective of this design is to help guide users visually to create an intuitive and agile experience. Often special care must be taken that designs follow recommended principles of adaptability, usability and accessibility to ensure that everyone can access and view them correctly. In addition, a good interface must be consistent with the values and graphic identity of a brand, reinforcing them with a design that meets and is aesthetically pleasing.
UI Specialists define and implement visually appealing graphic elements to enrich the interaction between people with machines or digital products (website, apps, video games'). They are responsible for all stages of interface design, from the conceptualization of ideas that provide simplicity, robustness and ease of use, to the delivery of all technical documentation to the development or programming team. An ideal profile should have an eye for design and be able to translate requirements into user-friendly, attractive, intuitive and functional interaction flows and user interfaces.
These professionals usually coordinate the UX Expert (User Experience) to develop prototypes and models (wireframes and mock-ups) that allow defining the final visual design of the application. For this reason, the job market often asks for a single professional who is an expert in UI and UX.
