Exercise 1

The exercise began with a focus on understanding how UX Design can benefit businesses, emphasizing the importance of meeting customer needs, engaging effectively, and enhancing development and sales processes.

Through a job search activity, my group and I identified common requirements for different UX Design roles, emphasizing the importance of experience and communication skills such as team management, leadership, portfolio quality, design principles, and collaboration abilities.

Secondary research highlighted emerging trends in UX Design, including the integration of AI for data-driven decision-making and automated testing, the significance of microinteractions for user experience enhancement, the nuanced relationship between simplicity and complexity, building user trust through design, the risks of deceptive design practices, the rise of 3D graphics and augmented reality for product visualization, and improved understanding of complex ideas.

Overall, my group and I underscored the value of UX Design, the evolving nature of the field, and the importance of continuous learning and skill development for aspiring UX Designers.
