UX Writing

One of the aspects of UX that I looked into was UX writing. While it’s not the emphasis I plan to have in my UX/UI career, I thought it would still be useful to have some knowledge of the skill under my belt.

To develop and improve my UX writing skills, I participated in a one-week UX writing challenge. This challenge was a field study to improve collaboration with UX content writers and to have a better understanding of the challenges of their role.

Goal

Develop and improve UX writing skills to be an overall well-rounded UX/UI designer and improve collaboration with future UX content writers.

Tools Used

Figma, Illustrator, and Photoshop.

Takeaway

These writing exercises tested my ability to write with the user in mind. The constraints challenged me to create written content that clearly and concisely communicated the necessary message to the user that used language and tone suitable to the context without overwhelming them with information. It pushed me to be intentional with every word and to be conscious of my language and the delivery of the intended message.
