Is there a number of responsibilities that fall under UX (for example, graphic design, usability etc), or is UX a sub responsibility of design?
Answer
The short answer: Design can be one of the responsibilities that fall under the larger category of UX.
According the A Project Guide to UX Design, a UX designer generally fulfills the rolls of three other categories of job, which may have separate people to perform them in extraordinarily large companies:
- Information Architect
- Interaction Designer
- User Researcher
According to that same book, the UX designer may also interact with (or in some companies act as) the following six roles.
- Brand strategist or steward
- Business analyst
- Content strategist
- Copywriter
- Visual designer
- Front-end developer
So a UX designer won't necessarily have any experience in graphic design, but it's common for someone working in UX to have at least some graphic design knowledge.
