For UX/UI design, these websites have a wealth of design works that can cultivate your beauty and help you bring you some inspiration when you have no ideas.

For those who want to learn by themselves, looking at other people’s good works will also give you a higher design sensitivity.

What is UX/UI Design?

What is UX design?

An abbreviation of “user experience design” — involves the interaction between users and a product or service, usually (but not always) in the digital space. In other words, UX design is the craft of making the user’s experience when interacting with a digital product as effective, efficient, and pleasant as possible: the process of building products with the user in mind (BrainStation).

“User experience encompasses all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with the company, its services, and its products.”
— Don Norman, Cognitive Scientist & User Experience Architect

What is UI (User Interface Design)?

The user interface is the graphical layout of an application. It consists of the buttons users click on, the text they read, the images, sliders, text entry fields, and all the rest of the items the user interacts with. This includes screen layout, transitions, interface animations and every single micro-interaction.
