Let me break it down for you: UI design is all about the look and feel of a product. It's the pretty face that users see and interact with. A UI designer's job is to create layouts, visual elements, icons, buttons and all the other stuff that makes up an app's interface.

One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

(Virtual tour courtesy of Google Maps available here ). The ceilings on the Uffizi corridors were painted by teams of artists starting in 1579 and took hundreds of years to complete.
