Hightser:
Hello chief, UX/UI design is a soft skill just like other skills.
UX skills involve:
User experience design.
User interface design.
Usability and testing skill.
User research skill.
Interaction design.

Incase you don't understand any of the over listed, you just have to Google each word to get an answer.

Overview: According to Quora, UX design services concern understanding the user's journey, needs, and requirements and converting it into a product.

It starts with a problem and ends on a prototype. A UX designer focuses on understanding the target audience, asking relevant questions to the customers, defining the user flows followed by user testing to cover and fix all the glitches and flaws in the website design.

UI design services focus on all the visual designing elements for the website. It includes typography, graphic elements, images, videos, color theory, layout, etc. It mainly concerns giving an attractive representation to the website to attract many possible eyes.

In summary, UI is the graphics, elements and buttons visible on a website or app while UX is the feeling users get when they navigate a website or app.


Well, these two are the most popular of the skills in UX/UI design.

Getting started: materials and sources can be gotten from YouTube and Udemy, when I started, YouTube was my first landing page but then I felt something was amiss, I bought a course on Udemy and some hidden materials and links were part of it.

Any laptop can do as the softwares you need are mostly web based and not installation based.

Figma, Adobe XD, sketch, prototype.io are the most popular of the softwares, they perform the same function but some employers prefer some based on reasons known to them.

But be assured that figma and Adobe XD are the most popular and figma has a collaboration support for multiple people working on same project.

Pros: you will have to sit for longer hours trying to join elements and buttons together to create a meaning.

You should learn how to combine different primary colours to create amazing colours.

Typography is something you need to give serious attention.

Give or take, 3 months of constant practice of say 6 to 7 hours a week should get you started, depending on your level of comprehension, for me, it took less.

You will need time and patience to build your portfolio.

Advice: Twitter is your best bet to network with fellow junior designers.
Dribble and Behance are place you would see beautiful designs you can try to redesign during your learning period.

Don't forget to network.

Let's talk about pay, according to online sources like glass door, a UX designer salary is about 60 to 70k USD per anum, but that's if you are able to get a remote job, for beginners, you could get a 70k naira job and above for a start and scale it from there.

Also, you could network with developers and they would give you jobs when ever they get an offer to develop a website or app.

Note: I'm not talking about nairaland WordPress developers or the " I will design a website for you for 20k naira" crew.

Shalom.

C'mon Bro

I could learn from this

Righteousness2:
1. My Standard Principle is to Please GOD First. Be a GOD Pleaser not a man Pleaser.

2. Do unto others what you want them to do to you.

3. Stand on Godliness not with Majority. Majority, most of the times are not right. That Everyone is doing it does not make it right.
Be Led by GOD and HIS Word not by Majority.

4. Nothing on Earth is worth trading my soul For. Absolutely Nothing!

5. Absolute Confidence, Trust and Belief in GOD ALMIGHTY.

Your principles are worthy of emulation Sir...nice one

Nigerialabalaba:
Make I no lie, na 3 dem be.
Na fear of God (spiritual),love for my parents (family)and Nigeria (duty, honour and patriotism).

These 3 things dey very important ooh when you line them up

Everyone has a principle that guides them in life , some stick to it the entire time while others might break it, learn their lessons and become better at what they believe in.

Over the years one of the Principles that has kept me from betrayal is "Anyone who double crosses his friend/girlfriend debases himself and automatically reduces his lifespan"

Let's learn from yours .

Please feel free to share.

nick50:
Men are d ones being marginalised, go to our higher institutions 80% of our graduates and undergraduates are women cos most of the male folks were sent to learn a trade or do apprentice at tender age or after secondary school..Nigerian parents now believe men can fend for themselves while they use all thier resources to train the female child so she won't go into prostitution but sadly most of dem end up as prostitutes directly or indirectly
Talking about being a billionaire most women are very lazy n afraid to study meaningful courses in school, u will see them park themselves in a less stressful department like social sciences, studying business administration and mass communication while males jostle for courses like engineering, mathematics, medicine n surgery..Nigerian women are even too lazy to study nursing instead dey allow men take it from dem..they avoid science related courses especially mathematics
So tell me when a hospital wants to hire nurses and doctors they will hire someone that studied mass communications simply because she is a female? I think Nigerian women are not serious..I pity who born dem plenty

Baba nah Mass Comm I study oooh , use another course do illustration nah

Meat is the last thing I eat in a food even though the meat nah 10 for the food

heendrix:
I and her have always been this close buddy since my first day in secondary school and along the line, one thing led to another that she had to leave the school cuz the family relocated to another state. this broke me and I felt sad cuz she was this good gentle girl that always care so much bout me.

After some years, we reconnected on FB and just like a dream how we felt for each other never change. she wasn't forming, we still chat till late night. we later loosed contact and some way life still connected us after a while and we just couldn't hide our feelings for each other that we opened up on how we've always felt Since those JSS 1 days so we got dating and tbh she's just that damsel. never giving trouble, understanding and still her gentle self and now my sis is bout ruining it for us both as her elder brother is actually my sister's fiancee who are expecting to get married next year.

tbh folks I can't cut short this relationship cuz of this. what will happen if two siblings marry from same families?? is it really a taboo?? aswear it's just doing me like a movie anytime I get to think of it. I'm just kinda sad atm what do i do??

PS; We're both final year students of a 5years course in two different uni

There's nothing wrong with this at allll.... If I'm faced with this scenario I go still marry my babe jare

...And you're asking us to help.

Una no serious for this country oooh.

It's a good thing Madam, as she grows imbibe tech into what she's doing .

DoDirtsLikeWorm:
Very true.
Though the sluggishness of the V.O in dishing out visas might be a factor, and you know those that has gotten grants have not been able to get in since 2020.

Also many students who got grants do not know about the thread's existence?

The latter we can work on by pasting the threads link in Student's page.

You are very correct.

This is a very nice thread ,I learnt a lot from it through other people's experiences.

Mods I'll slap you oooh.... Is this news

This is a very interesting topic we can all learn from but I see most people displaying high level of ignorance....Africans!!!

It's very sad.
