UI Definition

User interface design (UI) is the process of creating interfaces in software or computerized devices, focusing on looks and the overall feel or style of a design. 

UI involves aspects of interaction design, visual design (such as choosing colors schemes, typography and images.. etc), designing all elements (such as buttons, forms, icons, menus, labels.. etc.), and UI design principles that should guide UI decisions such as accessibility, usability, navigation, and consistency.

Designers aim to create interfaces that users find easy to use and pleasurable.
