I remember the first time I watched this when I learned about UX, what a journey it's been!

[ryanchangy]

This was one of the best explanations of UX design that I've heard! It aligns exactly with my own definition. As a UX practitioner, I get frustrated when people equate UX strictly with usability. I've always communicated that business goals are equally important and loved that this video touched on this in its definition. Great job!

Everything is spectacular about this video and that twist at the end was a fab!!

This is one of my favourite videos on UX Design. I really like how you combine the illustration with the voice over. brilliant explaination

[uxmastery]

Glad the video inspired you to learn about UX Design again—it's definitely a fun job! If you happy to be able to write code as well then that combination will give you a huge competitive advantage!

Thanks for your feedback. Will take it into mind when we make the next video.

Hi asafox. Glad you enjoyed it. The video does indeed included subtitles. You just need to click the "Turn on captions" icon, which is in the bottom right of the screen, next to the "Change quality" icon. The captions come from the script I used to create the video, and are not the auto-generated captions provided by YouTube. Hope that helps. Cheers, Matt.

I'm a hybrid UX & visual designer & believe both are very important. UX is important to make the product easy & enjoyable to use, but visual design is also very important in selling it to customers. No one wants to use a product that looks like crap these days.

Fantastic to hear, Dennis! Thanks for the compliment, and be sure to check in on our website. There will be plenty of content there that I hope you'll find useful.

Ha, I was looking at the final over all image and I was annoyed that it didn't flow, but then I realised it is in a giant UX. Good job that man.

Not only did you explain the concept of UX Design very well, but your drawings are so pretty🥰

Hi Adam. Yes, I'm based in Melbourne. I've written a blog post all about getting started in UX Design which might be of interest to you. I've added it to the bottom of the video description. Hope it helps.

Watching in 2021. This is a well-done explanation.

Hi Deborah. No tricks, no tools. Preparation involved planning the illustration on paper, and then transposing it onto the whiteboard while being filmed. If you have a keen eye you'll notice there are a couple of green dots that I used as a rough guide to make sure the final shape came out as planned.

Can i just say, I understood everything & I’ve trying to do. that since a week..and I cant help but admire the incredible illustrations! You’re gifted!

[Potentilz]

Gawd, this sounds awesome, I've always naturally made critiques as to how Web and App Designs can be improved upon. A UX career sounds like the perfect solidified career for me. Thanks!

[uxmastery]

Exactly. There is so much more to "design" than the visuals. Glad you liked it. I hope to create more videos using this technique, as this one was a lot of fun. On a selfish note, it's an opportunity to combine several passions of mine: UX design, drawing comics, and funky beats!! :-)

Yo this is just amazing how u explain that so easily. we watched ur video at my college today ( 1200 people watching ) !!

[LemonChieff]

Being a student in web-design and digital marketing ux design is really important for me so thx for your content :)

I saw Matt present this at UX Australia 2012 - it's great here.. but it was even greater in the flesh. Well done Matt.
