Week 1 of 100 days of UX

UX designers are the bridge to the future. The future of UX may include augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and long-term world-building projects. Analyzing the pain points for users and implementing solutions to the problems results in user retention and business expansion. It’s been a week since I started learning UX and would like to encapsulate my learnings past week in this post.

On day 1, I learned a lot of basic concepts of User experience designing. Let’s have a look at some of them :

Motivation to learn UX.

For day 5 of 100 days of UX, I created a user journey map for a user named Aman who wanted to learn about C++ language through a tutorial. It is a user journey for the website Geeks For Geeks.

Day 06

For day 6 of 100 days of UX, I created a user persona for an online social reading platform Wattpad. I created the user persona from scratch without the use of any templates.

That’s it for now, hope to learn more amazing things in 100 days of UX.
Thank you!
