Best articles to read if you’re starting with UX design
I’m learning UX design.
Why?
Because User Experience is everything and everywhere.
It doesn’t matter if you’re working on the product as a designer, developer, product manager or tester. It even doesn’t matter if you’re not working on the product development — you’re definitely using products.
Everything is a product. Each app, site, service you use is a product. And feelings you perceive before, during and after your interaction with the product is your own User Experience.
That’s why I think it’s important to study UX. Just to be better in everything I do.
I want to share with you articles and publications which I found useful and interesting if you start learning design.
Please share your favorite UX design resources in comments.
