When I first ventured into graphic design, I thought it was all about making things look good—color palettes, typography, and layout perfection. As I delved deeper, I realized there’s a critical layer beneath the surface: The role of UX/ UI in Graphic design. These concepts, UX (user experience)/ UI (user interface), helped me transformed the way I approach my work, bridging the gap between art and function.
For me, graphic design is storytelling, and UX/UI shapes how that story is experienced. UX ensures the journey is smooth, intuitive, and engaging. It’s about understanding the user. Its about what they need, what they expect, and even what might frustrate them.
UI, on the other hand, is where I get to play. It’s the art of crafting interfaces that are not only visually stunning but also functional. I love experimenting with button styles, hover effects, and color contrasts. But every choice has to serve a purpose. A beautiful interface that confuses the user is a failure of design.
What excites me most is how UX/UI and graphic design intersect. A well designed interface isn’t just useful, it’s memorable. It leaves a lasting impression, blending creativity with purpose. For me, integrating UX/UI into graphic design is like creating a dance between logic and imagination. It challenges me to think beyond beauty and design for impact.
At the end of the day, the role of UX/ UI in Graphic design isn’t just a role, it’s the heart of it. It’s what turns visuals into experiences and ideas into actions. Honestly, that’s the kind of design I want to be known for.
