Introduction to UX Design for Beginners by a New York Product Designer

📗 This is the book that first opened my eyes to UX design, users, and user mistakes: "Design of Everyday Things (Korean edition: Design and Human Psychology)".

When I was an undergraduate student studying industrial design, I thought that the most important thing about design was that it was cool and aesthetically beautiful.

After I came back from the military, I learned through this book that users make mistakes and that it is not their fault. ⚡ It was like a 'sparkle of light'. It was a whole new world. I used to think that if you don't handle digital products well, you are a machine, but that wasn't the case. That was completely the designer's responsibility. I learned that perspective and decided to become someone who does user-centered design. That's how I came into the UX design industry.

This book also contains important concepts that you need to know to get started with UX design, such as mental models, concept models, and affordances.

In this "Introduction to UX Design" lecture, several chapters of the UX theory section are based on this book. It is already an interesting theory, but in order to make it easier and more fun for beginners to understand, we have covered several cases of how it can actually be applied.
