Making the Switch: Moving from Graphic to User Experience Design | Detroit
About this event
UX is one of the fastest-growing areas of employment for designers, and for good reason: businesses understand the logic, research and metrics that UX employs into design and see it as a way to not only make their sites, products and publications seem attractive, but also to drive conversions, sales and profit.
Come hang out with us as we discuss how visual and UI design differs from UX, and how traditional digital and print designers can make a career switch into UX.
We'll also delve into examples of UX practices, from research practices and user testing to wireframing. All levels are welcome!
