We know you get this question.

Because we get it all the time, too.

Someone comes up to you at a party, the office, or while you’re working out and asks you, “What’s the difference between UI and UX?”

Okay, maybe not while you’re working out. But you know what we mean.

To answer that question you could go the long way around (“Well, we’d have to go all the way back to 1446...”) or take a shorter route.

A much shorter route.

Just point your user to this photo illustration by Ed Lea that cleverly explains the subtleties of the differences between UX and UI...

...using cereal.

Munch, munch, munch....

Any questions?

Munch.

This is awesome! I'll put it up at my Tumblr Blog and perhaps a really stellar post about it on Google Plus or my Wed Dev and SEO site ( http://www.hugheymarketing.com/ ) I think I may have to get this ASAP! :)
