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.
Worcester
Worcester is a cathedral city in the heart of the English countryside and has great historical significance having been the site of the Battle of Worcester in 1651 which signaled the end of the English Civil War. Other historical significance the city lays claim to includes being the home of Royal Worcester Porcelain and the home of composer Sir Edward Elgar for the majority of his life.
It is also famous for being home to Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, the Morgan Sports car factory, its Norman/Gothic Cathedral and for its natural Malvern Spring Waters.
Worcester is surrounded by the Malvern Hills and the Cotswolds and the city centre offers numerous riverside cafes and bars, shops, museums, theatres and live cultural events, which is why it was named in the top 50 best urban places to live by The Sunday Times in 2015.
