Design

UI design stands for User Interface design, which is the visual or graphical side of design. Some UX designers will also do some UI, but other UX designers will only go as far as research and wire frames. Web design tends to be less iterative, whereas UX design is about integrating continuous improvements. UX design stands for User Experience design and tends to be the invisible or behind the scenes side of design. Its all the work that goes into creating an app, website, software, or service. UX design includes design and user research, information architecture, interaction design, usability testing, and content strategy. Web designers may be graphic designers who work on the web or developers who have built enough skills to create a good looking website or app. Web designers tend not to take the human-centered approach of UX design. Psychology is embedded in UX design to help understand how people think, and what motivates them. Most web designers don't go as deep to consider all the factors that a UX designer keeps in mind. Web design tends to be less iterative, whereas UX design is about integrating continuous improvements.

Assume you must be nervous, being in an entirely different field how you would catch-up without any basic knowledge. If so, then I would suggest to go for a post graduation programme than Diploma, where you get to cover all the basics in first semester. Speaking of courses, I would suggest fashion design, fashion styling or textile design due to lots of demand. Fashion design covers all different sections and has lots of flexibility in career, where you could be an illustrator, stylist, designer, visual merchandiser and many more. Getting a designer job is quiet difficult (not impossible) due to heavy competition, yet one could work as a freelancer or Self employed. If you are more interested to work for movies, advertisements, fashion shows, then fashion styling course is a great choice, but that needs a great eye on style. Textile design is all about fabric design which has very demand in print houses.
