UI Designer
User Interface Designers (UI Designer) differ from UX Designers in that they are responsible for taking the UX outputs (wireframes etc.) and concentrate on how best to layout the design for the platform/site.
They are in charge of designing each screen or page a user interacts with and ensuring that this delivers the best possible experience. Just like graphic designers, UI Designers have a real understanding of layout and typography albeit with a specialisation in digital channels / platforms.
Given the popularity of mobile devices, both UX and UI candidates must have experience in creating effective user experience and journeys across all desktop, mobile and tablet devices – responsive, cross-browser design experience is therefore essential. The boundary between UI and UX designers is fairly blurred and it is not uncommon for companies to opt to combine these roles.
Salary wise outside of London the role generally pays between £30,000 to £45,000 depending on regional variance and level of experience.
Warwick
The picturesque town of Warwick is steeped in history. There are many museums and parks to visit in Warwick but it the castle which attracts tourists from all over the country and the world.
William the Conqueror founded Warwick Castle in 1068 which saw Warwick develop over the centuries and although many buildings were destroyed in the great fire of 1694, the town is still riddled with fascinating medieval buildings.
It is also home to the oldest boys school in the UK, Warwick School which appears first in the record books in 914. Still to this day Warwick School and the girls school King’s High (also in Warwick) are some the country’s best schools.
In modern times due to its great proximity to infrastructure, Warwick has become home for leading companies such as National Grid, IBM, Volvo and Calor.
It is also renowned for its many cultural events, festivals and arts.
