As some of you will know, Im a print designer by trade, I have very basic knowledge of web design and Im looking to expand my skill set to make myself more employable in the future. I've seen a lot of job adverts lately for UI Designers and App Designers. I'd love to find out more so Im hoping someone here on the boards can give me a quick overview and maybe point me in the right direction to find out more.
What kinds of software skills does a UI Designer need? Would you literally design interfaces in illustrator/photoshop and then pass on those designs to a developer or would some coding be expected?
Also, are there online guides to app design? Is that the same kind of thing where the designer would create designs for pages then pass it over to developers for coding?
I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance you lot may have!
