Topic of discussion

What is UX and what is UI? Isn't that the same thing? Then what is the UX/UI designer? What's more important? If I make a good user experience, do I even need a designer? What brings more money? Is it done by a single person? Where can I learn more about this? Where do I find a good community?

Amedea Derenda Mujezinović and Romina Kavčič will each represent their own discipline in the first UX/UI match, talking about the above questions and then some. Amedea for UX (User Experience design), while Romina fights for UI (User Interface design). Aljaž Vindiš will act as the the most impartial, experienced judge.

Join us, it's going to come down to the last pixel!
