New to UX Design

I have always been interested in UX Design. So in October last year, I signed up for the course run by the UX Design institute. I thought that I had a decent understanding of what the UX Design process involved. I understood that it required research and its design with the user in mind, but to be honest, as I have been an art director for more than seven years, I thought I had been designing for the user anyway. Though I had been designing for the stakeholders and my own personnel opinion, the reality of it was that none of the designs went through any user testing.

As I started the first module, I quickly realised that the understanding I thought I had was minimal at best. As I read the articles and watched the videos, I could feel myself becoming excited about the journey I was about to start. I could also see that the UX Discipline should be a must for any designer in whatever field they work.

The module gives you a solid foundation for the UX process. In this module, there is no project work to hand in. The whole purpose is to provide a solid grounding in the design process. Which it does brilliantly, and you can see the topics below.
