UX vs. UI - Join the debate and WIN an Apple Watch!

It's that time again for another installment of the long lived debate "UX vs UI - what's the difference?!" but this time with a twist (and I don't mean me!). I must have read over 50 blogs recently on the subject and have had conversations with many clients about the differences and what exactly they need when recruiting for a UX/UI role.

I promise this is not going to be another one of those blogs, but to set the scene I think I need to give the simplest description of the two:

UX is User Experience and is primarily concerned with how the product feels.
UI is User Interface and is primarily concerned with how the product is laid out.

Now we have that out of the way, I did tell you that this was going to be a blog with a twist...

In the 50+ blogs on the subject that I have read, I have found the most entertaining part is often the analogies people use to distinguish between what is UX and what is UI. Quite often I think people write a 500 word blog just to slip their analogy in there for the world to see!

So in homage to some of my favorite UX vs UI analogies, I would like to set the challenge - share with us and the whole community your funniest, most cliché, corniest, wittiest or just down right ridiculous analogy for the UX/UI differential and we will award, neigh Crown, the winner with a brand spanking new Apple Watch, which has arguably had more #UXfails written about it than any product in recent memory – but it’s still a pretty decent piece of kit!

These entries can come in any form you like – metaphor, meme, infographic or whatever you like to display your creativeness!

To get the ball rolling, I would like to share with you a couple of my personal favourites:

UI is the saddle, the stirrups, and the reigns, while UX is the feeling you get being able to ride the horse, and rope your cattle - http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2012/06/ui-vs-ux-whats-the-difference/
A UI without UX is like a painter slapping paint onto canvas without thought; while UX without UI is like the frame of a sculpture with no paper mache on it. - http://blog.careerfoundry.com/the-difference-between-ux-and-ui-design-a-laymans-guide/
