what kind of portfolio projects?
Hi! I've already picked up basic skills in Python, HTML/CSS, and Figma. Looking ahead to college, I'm torn between majoring in Computer Science or Interactive Media/UI-UX Design because I want a career that combines coding with creative visual design. Could you recommend specific college majors or interdisciplinary career paths (like slope) that bridge these two areas? Also, what kind of portfolio projects should I focus on building this year to prepare?
How can I get into an UI UX internship?
I'm UI UX Design fresher. Struggling to get an internship. I tried applying to lots of companies but some of them are been ghosted after I gave interview. And some companies don't even give a job application submission feedback. It's been 2yrs struggling to get an internship without an experience for getting an experience in UI UX Design. I don't have any connection in the UI UX Design field to refer or help me and give some insights.
Would getting a minor in CogSci as a rising senior computer science major be a good idea if I want to pivot into UI/UX design ?
It would be 5 extra classes on top of my major. I don't have any experience in CS except a research apprenticeship, but I ultimately found that I'm not super into CS as much as I thought I was. The issue is I wonder if it would be more productive to graduate with a straight CS degree and spend my free time portfolio building or tack on the extra classes (where some of them don't heavily correlate to UI/UX). I have a 4 hour commute total so my time is pretty thinly spread out. I'm not sure how much weight having a minor in CogSci would hold in terms of future opportunities. Thank you.
Is a Bachelor's in Psychology a good start to becoming a UX/UI Designer?
I've been researching UX Design for months and am very interested in it, as it seems to be a perfect fit for my skill set. I applied to college as a Psych or Cognitive Science major, but I'm wondering if this is a smart path to take to begin a UX Design career. #uxdesign #uidesign #psychology
How necessary is it to get a college degree for web development or UI/UX design?
I am a current high school senior considering whether or not I want to dedicate four year’s time and go into debt for a bachelor’s degree in computer science with a minor in design. I am hoping to get online certificates and take online courses instead as I’ve heard the computer science/design fields hire mostly based on experience and portfolio rather than education. If I were to not attend college, what are my chances of obtaining a good job as a web developer or UI/UX designer? Would it take forever for me to find a job in these fields without a degree? #design #computer #technology #computer-science #uxdesign #uidesign #user-experience #graphic-design #technology #web-development
