We engage in a rhetorical discourse with technology every day. Therefore, as designers, it is all the more necessary for us to understand the architectonic nature of rhetoric and it’s connections with design, specifically UX Design, as we are responsible for initiating, coordinating, and developing this very discourse with our users.
This statement insightfully highlights how UX design isn’t just about functionality or aesthetics it’s a form of communication. As designers, we constantly speak to users through interfaces, layouts, and interactions. Understanding rhetoric helps us recognize that every design choice conveys meaning and influences behavior, making the designer’s role not just technical but deeply persuasive and communicative.
