Summary


The demand for designers who work on more than just the design side is on the rise; gone are the days when web designers were sitting in front of their computers with their heads buried in their sketchbook or Photoshop, not worrying about how the design will be implemented.

We already covered all the basic parts in this chapter for becoming a good UX designer and the roadmap for becoming a full stack designer. It is important to not misunderstand the difference between UI design and UX design; if necessary, read this chapter again, especially the first part, to get a better understanding of it.

We also covered the basic process of UX here, so in the next chapter, we will go more deeply into each stage of the UX process, which is one of the most critical steps for you to become better in the UX design field.
