I discovered my passion for user interfaces some time ago. Mainly because there are so many bad examples out there, just kidding.
But how can we make them better?
Through several projects, I was able to develop designs, try things out, get to know tools like Figma, learn front-end languages like CSS, and frameworks like Angular or Flutter.
Since then, I have been actively working my way through the basics, theories, best practices, and deceptive design. This will also be the subject of my master's thesis. But more on that later.
Digital design of user interfaces has long gone beyond mere usability. We have reached a stage in UI design where the integration of AI is becoming normalised.
No one sells products, they all sell a feeling. This also applies to services in the digital space.
Intuitive interaction should not only be the bare minimum, but the basis for excellent design.
It is well known that manipulative design strategies exist.
In contrast there is also Fair UX, which not only gives users genuine freedom of choice, but also builds trust.
