How do I select books based on the differences between user experience designers, UI designers, and Interaction designers?

On zhihu, someone asked:"What are the differences between user experience designers, UI designers, and Interaction designers?"Because he found that a company has three or two positions at the same time, he does not know where the difference is.Xue tianluThe answer is very good. If you are not clear about the differences between the three, let's look at his answer:

First, different companies have their own understanding and positioning of different positions. jobs with similar names generally have different responsibilities in different corporate cultures. For example, Google requires that user experience designers have "professional XHTML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript capabilities", which is not common in other companies.

Generally, however, these three positions have their respective responsibilities.

User Experience designer

Every second a user uses your product is part of this "experience. No matter whether the "User Experience" can be "designed", since you try to change or affect the user experience, this kind of work will certainly involve multiple aspects of the product. You should focus on the macro level, and participate in the product's preliminary planning, design, development, testing and iteration process, but the most important thing is the user. At the same time, as a designer, you need the ability to solve problems creatively under pressure. You also need to be familiar with various user research methods (race, real-time investigation) and design methods (character roles, story versions, prototype design ). You do not need superb graphic design skills, but need to identify which are good graphic design skills.

UI Designer

I think the UI Designer in the broad sense (that is, the user interface designer) needs to be able to do the above, but according to the general positioning in the industry, the UI Designer usually needs more graphic design skills. You need to skillfully use ps or FW. The website you often use is Dribbble. You are obsessed with corner, shadow, and gradient, and focus on every pixel. Of course, in some companies, you often need to directly convert vague "requirements" into user interfaces. Sometimes you may also need some development skills.

Interaction Designer

An interactive designer pays attention to the user experience, but they focus more on how to reflect this impact on the Information Architecture of the user interface and the user operation process. To design a website, Interaction designers need to use flowcharts to visualize the "interaction" process between users and websites and the information architecture of websites for feedback, and ensure effective communication with developers. In the requirements of some companies, we can also see that Interaction designers need to master certain development skills. Some recruiters confuse "Interaction designers" with "Interaction designers", so sometimes Interaction designers are required to have some ActionScript or something.

About interaction designer and interactive designer)

Interaction in Interaction designers refers to the communication and interaction between people and computing machines. The English language of interaction here should be interaction. I do not know whether Hong Kong and Taiwan have translated interaction designer into an interactive designer. The English language of the interactive designer should be more appropriate.

Regarding the differences between the two, I think Interaction designers rely more on the design direction. Their responsibilities are often embodied in studying users, determining interaction processes, information architectures, and so on, it seems that most of the recruitment requirements in the U.S. industry depend on the UI Designer, requiring a lot of Adobe Creative Suite and coding skills.

Turing published a series of design books, which are the most suitable for these three designers. Because there is a interconnection between the three, many books should be read by these three designers, but after all, the focus is different, so which books are more suitable for user experience designers, Which books are more suitable for UI designers, and which books are more suitable for Interaction designers still need to be differentiated. From the content introduction alone, can you match these books and these three designers in the following table? Of course, some books may be out of these three types of designers. Can you pick them out?
