Talk:User experience design

message: As if designers being underpaid wasn't bad enough they're forced to have their profession uniquely be subjected to a criticism section? Is there a criticism section for pilots, doctors, developers, executives, etc!? No there is not. If some developer thinks he/she can remotely produce a better product without a designer by just following 'best practices' they're sorely ignorant.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.113.202.37 (talk) 21:02, 22 February 2016 (UTC)

“With the rise of the information age, many generalizations of the components have been based on the building blocks of the user experience design of digital systems.” – Replaced as "With the rise of the information age, the term "User Experience Design" has been generalized to mean User Experience Design of digital systems"
“In the context of information architecture, information is separate from knowledge and data, but lies indefinitely in the middle” – Rephrased as: In the context of information architecture, information is separate from both knowledge and data and lies nebulously between them.
“It is information of all shapes and sizes: websites, documents, software applications, images, and more.” - Changed to: It is information about objects. The objects can range from websites, to software applications, to images et al.
“ New introduction of software must keep in mind the dynamic pace of technology advancement and the need for change.” – Changed to: Every new software introduced must keep pace with the rapid technological advancements.

message: I found an interesting diagram on the importance of user experience.
This diagram is hosted on Flickr, and many people have translated it
to other languages. It is an educational poster! The non-english
diagrams are available to download for free.
Take a look at the following URL:

I want to add a link to this "educational diagram in Flickr" to 
the "External Links" section of this article. Ok?

message: I believe the introduction to this page should define user experience as being inclusive of *all* encounters and interactions a user has with a product or service. Currently, it references only "digital products and websites," which is just a subset of what many experience designs entail.
Since the page refers to Don Norman originally coining the term, then perhaps it's most helpful to point out that he said it best in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BdtGjoIN4E
He briefly references the idea of buying a computer, transporting it home, unboxing it, and setting it up.  He says, "...all of that is user experience. It's everything that touches upon your experience with the product. And it may not even be near the product. It may be when you're telling somebody else about it. That's what we meant when we devised the term 'user experience.'"
----
Here is a proposed revision to the intro section (leveraging the existing copy and links, but adjusting the definition to more accurately refer to Ux design as much more than digital)... 
 
User experience design (UX design, UXD, UED, or XD) is the process of defining the journey and various pathways a person, or group of people, would go through when interacting with a product or service. UX design encompasses all aspects of a user's real and perceived experience with a product or service, including its usability, usefulness, desirability, brand perception, and overall performance. https://xd.adobe.com/ideas/career-tips/what-is-ux-design/
The scope of any given UX design effort can range from a narrow focus on a single touchpoint, such as a mobile app or website, to a sophisticated ensemble of touchpoints including encounters with physical products, packaging, mobile apps, software, websites, content, instructional material, and much more. Ux design consideration may also incorporate interactions with other humans as part of the user’s use of the product or service. https://dorve.com/blog/the-disciplines-of-user-experience/
UX design decisions are often informed by insights from research, data analysis, and test results. Decisions are also guided by objectives and intended outcomes for the experience.  In commercial endeavors, experience design must consider the desired business outcomes being sought as the user engages with the product or service.  Environmental and social objectives are increasingly included among UX goals to ensure that experiences are responsible and inclusive.
UX design is frequently considered a core element of the customer experience (CX), which encompasses all aspects and stages of a customer's experience and interaction with a company. Service design is an extension of UX design that goes deeper than the user touchpoints described above to also plan and design the "backstage" interactions, systems, and workflows (unseen by the user) to deliver the desired user experience for the service.
----
Some subsections on this page (e.g. "Elements" and "Deliverables") should also be expanded to more completely articulate the full spectrum of Ux design that involves physical elements.  But let's first start by improving the introduction block. Decksmyth (talk) 23:00, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You've got how Wikipedia works backward. The body of the article is a summary of what the sources say, and then the lead is a summary of the rest of the article. We have to build the article based on sources - you cannot simply rewrite the lead based in your personal beliefs and opinions of what user experience should be. Start with sourced additions to the body of the article. Also, note in particular that blogs, youtube videos, and other self published materials are not usable sources here. - MrOllie (talk) 23:08, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Makes sense from starting from the body and then writing the summary.  And this is not my "opinion" or "personal believe" on what user experience should be.  It is deeply informed definition based on 25+ years working in the field. Decksmyth (talk) 23:17, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: A distinction without a difference as far as Wikipedia is concerned, since policy (WP:NOR, WP:V) expressly prohibits writing based on personal experience. - MrOllie (talk) 23:31, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: PS: You can't use other Wikipedia articles as sources either. Please read WP:RS thoroughly. MrOllie (talk) 00:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

message: I recently made a few small changes to this article as well as a couple of bigger changes. First, I made minor grammar and sentence structure edits to make the article more clear and concise. I did this by adding commas, changing sentences to active voice, cutting out unnecessary or extra words, and other things to that effect. There were also a few confusing sentences that I reworded so that users would better understand what they were reading. This was the bulk of my edits; however, I made a few changes that were a little heavier. For example, I deleted the last paragraph underneath the "History" section. I believe that the information was not relevant to the section, and it was also not relevant to the topic of user experience design as a whole. There was also a citation under the history section that directed users to a webpage that was no longer available, so I deleted it. Another edit I made consisted of adding a sentence to the very first paragraph about how user experience design is essentially a user centered design approach and I added a citation to this. Lastly, I changed the subheading under the UX deliverable section because it was a little unclear as to what the information below it would be about. Payswan73 (talk) 21:35, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
