Struggling with whether or not I should frame my thesis as a UX or Interactive Design project. I’m leaning towards UX because I think my strengths lie more in research than coding. BUT, I am making an app, or at least a smoke and mirrors app. So which is it?

Honestly, my passions lie more in UX, because things don’t have to suck as much as they do. For example: Why do websites ask for the credit card type on their payment screens? They can tell by the first number on the card what type it is, why make people enter it? Or: why do cable and satellite box UIs suck so hard? Seriously. It’s so easy to do good design, you don’t even have to come up with your own ideas most of the time, your audience tells you a good chunk of that.

But, then there’s the whole I’m creating an interactive experience, soooooooooo confusion.

Guess I better decide today.
