"The Importance of Fundamentals in UX" - DesignOpsAligned - Act 01 - Scene 01 - Darren Hood
The current state of the UX market is described as 'upside down' with the rise of specializations and the misconception that UX is only about aesthetics. The importance of fundamentals, such as wireframes, and the need for a scientific approach to UX is emphasised. The rush to learn UX quickly and the focus on aesthetics over functionality are seen as detrimental to the field. To show the benefits of true UX, there needs to be a commitment to proper education and a recognition of the failures of those who prioritize aesthetics over user experience.
