About dieUX

Pat's dieUX cartoons observe and comment on the day to day work of digital User Experience (UX) design teams.

“Although the dieUX characters don't represent anyone, they often do…”

Our UX designers' life can be both fruitful and frustrating. Often all in one minute while shaping your online experience. How does that turn out for you? Find out why from this choice collection of dieUX cartoon strips.

dieUX cartoon strip by Pat Godfrey - What does a UX designer do exactly?

What does a UX designer do?

The UX designer is in the Director's office. “So, what does my new UX designer do, exactly?” Asked the sour-faced Director. The designer responds with everything delightful about a user-centric UX.
Assistant Bradley whispers in the dumb-struck director's ear, “Ask if it makes the coffee?”

Why dieUX?

dieUX is a superbly clever play on words. Bathe in my design brilliance:

Dieux
Play on the French (latin) word for god. UX designers are gods, no?
Die
From the act of dying—with laughter, of course. Nothing to do with that last two wireframes decomposing in the trash can—or the developer's last audible words about you?
UX
User Experience. Is it being killed by ableist design and poor coding? Or is it only too saturated by allied trades to be a separate profession?
dieUX
Is that pronounced, "die-U-X", "dieux", or "die-you"? Feck it. You're taking this too seriously.

Bradley slides in with, “Smooth”.

dieUX cartoons are signed Tap27. This was once a secret identity to avoid trouble. Now Pat is too old to care and the signature? Well, old habits die hard.

dieUX cartoon strip by Pat Godfrey - On wisdom
The young designer asks our more senior designer, “Why didn't I listen to your wisdom?”. Our senior reflects, “We are wise to ignore others' wisdom. Wisdom comes from our own learning. It's what mistakes are for… Now fix this mess quickly before the director shares his wisdom with me!”
