i don't know, Drinking coffee using a Glass handle-less mug! coz "UX said so" i think it's not OK and specially if you are using computer.. i might need waterproof keyboard coz my hands moves fast when working 😑

[@AJSmart]

@@skilled-person Hey, hahaha! Good point, BUT the glass material is maybe throwing people, it's a simple everyday comparison to showcase some key UX thinking. The Glass ones are actually very well insulated / designed, and you don't feel the heat at all through it. Unlike the traditional porcelain ones.

[@skilled-person]

​@@AJSmart hmm, good point, see like i said before: Good UX always strong with you have marketing mindset, in this example if you emphasis the double sided glass feature and how it protect my hand from the heat, this could be value proposition for this item, i consider buying the glass one after knowing this, [Request] how about making a video about UX Strategy: Content Strategy, because most people focus only on Design part but we both know "Content is King" :) thanks for the replay

[@markuskugler6103]

Great video, always nice to watch the stuff you guys are doing! From my POV I think you are missing a quite important point about UX: expectations of users, so everything BEFORE actual usage. Most of what Dee talks about is actually UI Design, not so much UX. Of course UI is a vital part of UX, with usability and aesthetics again being a vital part of the UI. But knowing and meeting the expectations of the user is what makes a good experience. Using the coffee cup example: if the primary need is „having a well decorated and perfectly looking breakfast table“ than the white cup might eventually result in a better UX than the glass one...

[@huntrrams]

Why is there so many names for a UX designer?

[@jasonchinn539]

I would have looked at the clear glass cup and thought, "That glass cup is gonna get hot", not knowing it's fancy double glass, and grabbed the white coffee cup.

[@yuripravdin4567]

Same

[@Escobar720]

Same lol I like my traditional mugs

[@irinacapps6853]

Yup, agreed

[@lillykeule5416]

The most important point is double glass the first layer won’t get hot and you have full hand to handle it. The design is unique and different. Was a clever safe useful design. The white mug is traditional because human brain work everyday in circles we get used to do the same everyday that why you feel safe about the white mug but don’t worry the glass mug will give you the same work as the white one. It’s about opening the clients Appetit to try the new product.

[@yuripravdin4567]

@@lillykeule5416 I just like the handle, it feels cozy. With the clear one, it doesn’t feel nostalgic, it feels like a glass of water. I get where you are coming from, thats why i think design needs to evolve slower. Slowly transition into new ideas without making the user think they are radical.

[@11Virgo11]

FINALLY someone who knows how to articulate what UX design is!!!! I wandered in the confusing forrest of UX/UI\Graphic for months until I finally started to understand. This was the last piece of the cake. Thank you!!!!!! Thank you!! So well explained. Without the ya da ya da design talk language that most designers speak. LOVE this! Thanks a bunch.

[@KelmoMusic]

One thing I find interesting is the 'desirability' aspect and how that will change from person to person. Some will desire the glass coffee cup because its functional and 'sexy' in a modern way, but some people will find the white mug more desirable, even though it's less 'usable,' because it's a classic design - it makes people feel a certain way. So yes, the glass cup is a better user experience, because it covers all three areas, but no matter how good the user experience is, human behavior will ultimately determine which experience they choose. Sometimes one of those 3 areas will trump the other 2 for a person. I don't know what my point is here, but it was an interesting thought :P

[@trishamgreen]

Makes sense to me.

[@pablomunoz5858]

Agree. But adding something else to your comment, I even find those 3 areas subjective as well. What other person said in the comments, you cannot feel how hot is the coffee in that glass, you may burn yourself. I don't even like coffee in glass, for me it goes right away to mugs. So, in my case, that glass it only covers usability. But I guess UX design is about the majority of people

[@NateBazooka]

Agree, although even the usability is arguable I don't like that particular mug, but a) drinking coffee is a ritual, it is done from a mug. that is part of the ritual. b) the warmth of the mug in your hands is part of it, and part of waking up c) they're both too damn small However, people are different and have different emotions tied into different processes.

[@suzycue303]

Yes I agree- some people may just be used to having a cup with a handle. It may be what they grew up with. Another point I’d want to bring up is that a lot of people like mugs for the design that’s on the cup. Like when you go on vacation, and bring back a coffee mug with the locations name on it.

[@robson2939]

Exactly, I thought the white cup is better because it has the handle. I don't like to drink coffee from a glass for example. It is conflicting with traditional experience which is a coffee mug.

[@TheSoundofTanay]

Don Norman's 'The Design of Everyday Things' is a good start for anyone trying to understand the basic design flaws in almost anything and everything around us.

[@oluhamilton2121]

[@hiendaudioinsinhalesesong1325]

Totally agreed. When coffee hot ux must be the cup with handale

[@hyunjinshin6828]

I agree with you, too. This is not a good example to explain good and bad UX.

[@ullahharis]

Ya that's right , same failure with thermapole materials cups .

[@epistte]

Ceramics are a natural insulator and they will never get that hot to burn the user. The glass cup w/o the handle is a nightmare if it is slippery. You will end up wearing that hot coffee or the cup will fall and break. Id buy the ceramic cup with the handle because it might not be as cute but it is much more usable. I have a coffee press that is the insulated and and the seal only lasts for about a year before it break and the water gets between the glass walls. I was hoping that UX was more like ergonomics/human factors engineering.

[@DinnyGreat]

Your explanation was a 1000x better than my college professor's lesson. It was super simple, straight to the point and short i appreciate the help thanks a lot.

[@AJSmart]

haha. Thanks for letting us know. Time to send that video to your professor 😝

[@michelepaludetti]

I'm glad that you didn't just speak about UX as web and app design. I see a lot of confusion on the web about this. A lot of people speaking about user experience but only referring to the website flow and appearance, when UX is way broader and part of every aspect of our life.

[@andigomez1993]

bearing this in mind, when building a UX portfolio do you think it's a good idea to include projects that aren't just web or mobile design?

[@michelepaludetti]

Andi Gomez Yes why not? There are many skills that can help you to be better and to be recognized as skilled. For example graphic design and typography can be useful as well; same with design thinking and service design. I would give some space also to product, but only to show the way I design and my process.

[@AJSmart]

More than the fancy glass one?!

[@mochaxbear]

@@AJSmart I think (in my opinion) u wld drink that coffee whilst Idk doing ur work and if u use the glass cup ur more likely to spill it or. Not have a good hold on it since it doesn't have a handle. But to be fair I wld pick neither. Rather it wld be better if they just added a handle on the glass cup instead?

[@tiffy_loves]

I think if the glass cup had a handle, I’d go for it. But if I walk into my friends house, have a sudden want for coffee, and see these cups side by side, I’d go for the mug. This is because I don’t know the clear cup is for coffee, and even if I did, I’d be scared I’d drop it. If the clear mug had a handle, then I’d go for it and think “oh, cool a clear mug!”

[@sabinabavenlee]

@@AJSmart yeah. I have a phobia for the fragile things, especially made out of thin glass (like this one). And also I don`t like when there is no handle on it. Maybe I am far too conservative about it but I really like ceramic things

[@RafaelGregoriorg]

A good point to bring up while analyzing a product is accessibility. If we start to bring concepts from universal design we will realizing that a cup with a handle is more safe for people with arthritis for example. It's good and important to talk about the beauty or desirability of the products, but we shouldn't forget about accessibility.

[@AJSmart]

Thanks for the feedback Rafael, that's a very fair point, we'll try to include more of that going forward!

Great definition for UX design! I also have 10+ experience and always face with a standard scheme in vacancies which is not practical in reality. Regarding the presentation, for me best UX design works without any explanation. That's why I only create clickable, tappable prototype and give to my colleagues, developers, managers, etc. without explanation or user flow schemes. If anyone asks a question, I go through that part again refining, simplifying it, till there is no question from anyone. At the end the design looks very simple and clear to understand and mainly it does not make users think.

Many people have told me to get into UX design. However, I have some reservations that lead me to ask a few questions: 1.) Is this often a remote position? I live away from almost any tech company and don't really want to move due to family, friends, etc. 2.) Is this a people intensive job? Will I be around a lot of people, talking to them, engaging them, etc or can the job be done relatively remotely? Generally speaking, would it be groups of 20 or more I would be around? 3.) How is work often doled out? Do I have a week's worth of work and need to get it done in a week? Basically, do I need to work 9 to 5 Monday through Friday, or can I work on things anytime I want as long as I get it done? Thank you for your time in trying to answer these questions.

I’m extremely passionate in this area but wondering if UX is something I would enjoy. First off could you tell me what schools offer some of the best programs in UX design? Also, will the field be consistently growing? Are there a good amounting jobs to go around? What do salaries look like? Is there much coding involved because I have more skill and interest in industrial/product design? Where are some places you could be working at in UX and what kinds of people do you work with?

the out takes are good stuff, love it! I'm doing some background for a podcast on AI's impact on the public's relationship with screens, social media, and technology. I've been around human factors and UX/UI for a while, but this was really succinct and engaging, really good.

So uhh.. what is it again that a UX designer does ? 🤔 😂

[@qwertyls8552]

Underrated

[@ehabmajid1990]

😂

[@hakohito]

I swear to god I didn't get it

[@FeedMeJuice]

This has to be the best explanation I have ever seen

[@binihalex8097]

3:26 There is a creepy man behing you. RUN🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ I hope I didn't just call your man a creep 🙃 Seriously though. I thought UXd was some sort of coding. Thank you for the summary

[@LVHCENE]

realy ?

[@supreetkumar7604]

What the hell. Why you calling him creepy? He is just praying by. Idiot.

[@DJStruggle]

Nice video that explains the basics very clearly. I was wondering during the video how thoroughly you analyzed the experiences of users watching videos. What's your trick between cuts? What do you do that makes you always start hyper-enthusiastic after every cut?

[@mailmesukant]

It feels scary when a guy moving in the background.

I would pick the white cup.... Great video, the guy behind made my day! Though there are multiple questionable points here, including "we are not creating user experience, it's already there", which could mean you are missing the features, users did not know they need in the first place. Like mobile phones, nobody imagined to not being able to live without in 1980th. But as i've said, i"m here for the whiite cup. I can't agree wiith your take on User Experience with this example, as it shows how our assumptions are on many occasioins far from the user observations. I'm happy to see people here have also noticed it. 1. During cold seasons people are warming their hands using the cup of warm tee or cofee. White cup does it, Thermo - doesn't. 2. By simply touching the cup you can understand the temperature of the liquid inside and users of the thermo-cups including myself are often experiencing burning their lips and tongue with coffee or tee too hot before avoiding thermo cups all together. 3. The white cup is less slippery because of the handle. 4. Some people are tending to turn the cup to one side using the handle (right handed to the right) to touch it with lips on the same spot they took the firs sip. (it's a mystery why though) 5. Ladies who use lipstick prefer the untransparent cups exactly while some evon highes quality lipstick tends to leaves marks. 6. The handle allows to hold the hot cup and bring it to the table, or to drink it, even if it's too hot for the fingers. 7. Such white cup is common design, people of conservative mindset are buying them just because of the classical look/feel. 8. The user who have ever warmed their hands the white cup during chilly winter days may use such cups to feel warm sensation and spiritual comfort at all times, which is mental reflection of the comfort in the past.Classical simple retro things are reminding of the childhood/comfort, you can't underestimate that.

"Which one is sexia"😍😍😍

[@raftimeproductions]

Who drinks coffee in a glass? Most people prefer black triangle shaped mug. For some reason black mug seems most desirable.

Honestly, UX design as a field is completely unnecessary and useless. They dont really "create" or "design" anything. A good designer is able to determine if something is useful, accessible, etc. Yes some ux people make wireframes, but if you ever look at them, you might as well just hand over a list of things that need to be designed. Typically UX people are wanna be designers but just arent that good at design, so they created this new field to feel like they matter.

[@VincentDania]

UoPeople HCI course led me here. Great content but I'm wandering how it answers the questions on the assignment: •What are some of the challenges a UI/UX designer is faced with? •How can these challenges be overcome?

[@GODXB]

as i do agree with most of what's been mentioned, an important factor that goes into play is what does a user think before they analyze a product, and this can go both ways, but if a user wants to get coffee, one thought would be, familiarity, and having something like the white cup draws the attention, clear glass is more commonly used for colder products such as juices, so users might not even notice the insulation. another thing is habituation, no matter how terrible the handles is, the first thing that comes ti mind is, a cup without a handle is gonna be hot, so for me the white cup is surely a winner, third point would be durability and life, clear mans fragile, solid means, well solid. yet again i could be absolutely wrong but it's a point of view

[@jorgilvy]

Hello there! I always correlated UX with Digital products, not tangible products. The examples of the cups describe what I do for a living as an Industrial Designer. So Industrial designers are UX too!

[@ksaas9]

Thanks Dee for the explanation of what UX Design is! The example in the video is the best way I can explain to others who don't speak design what I do as a professional. I also appreciate that in each AJ&Smart video there is always an "Easter Egg" and I like how the videos are always informative, funny, and engaging. I have been watching the AJ&S channel for some time and I always enjoy learning something new. Keep up the good work!

[@kaiqueoliveirasouza1725]

I really appreciate the channel content @AJ&Smart. The language is super easy to understand. good job guys :)

[@litmengding3588]

I would think that desirability can varies as we need to consider the ambience (where the cup is used) as well. The glass cup's desirability may be further amplified when used in a cosy, chillax bistro, while the ceramic cup may not even with better functional designs.

[@henrythomas7112]

I extremely like the video, man. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much. It is presented so well too. Great, positive work.

[@TheBackwoodsdog]

Congrats. In a mere 4 minutes and 40 seconds you gave a perfect explanation why UX is not a thing...

[@baida2877]

老姐，你用了最直观的、最生动的帮我们分析了UX了

[@eugenebruno1481]

This was very insightful for me and I believe my artistic background can really help me with a career in UX Design.

[@MarikaMeos]

I picked the white cup. As the ceramics is more appealing to pour some hot drink into.

[@vijayatapandit9433]

I loved the video . If you could make a video about how to present your work to stakeholders or may be in an interview session, that would be really helpful. Several times I get stuck on how to present as in where to start and how to carry out the presentation via story telling. Thank you soo much for creating these amazing videos!

[@KaliLamyx]

Such a nice video - so rich in explanations - great teaching. Thanks ☺ PS: @ 3:24 - a furstated man tries to disturb your video !!! He did not succeed ! You are really pro !

[@radiatanko6658]

Thank you so much, I’m just starting the course and this is tea helpful❤

[@fara4661]

Thank you so much. This videos is the best for me explaining UX design and I like her sound ☺️

[@fara4661]

Very clearly

[@AJSmart]

Glad it was helpful!

[@taraskucher6782]

What tools do I need to know to become ux designer? What classes/courses should I take to become ux designer from beginning? What is the roadmap, where to start?

[@brightcommstrinidad5706]

Oh boy I'm old😢 all the time I was assuming sexier the white cup 😮 GREAT video by the way ❤ thanks for sharing all this information

[@rebeccaschmid3690]

How do you come to this job? What skills and interests should you have? Thanks, love this video💖

[@JonasMe23]

Dunno if you see this since the videos kinda old now but I just happened to watch your video since I will be writing my Master Degree at University about UX Design and this was a great way to get a first glimpse of the subject. My question would be: How did you get your job resp. do you have any recommandations on how to apply for such a job when I'm just now done with uni and will get to "real" jobs for the first time after leaving uni? I think this would be quite my thing to do on a daily basis (Im from Germany btw). Thanks in advance!
