What are the UX principles?

It’s been a while since I last posted, but I have been reading some great articles about design, UX, and research. Here are my thoughts on digital design after a few years.

I’m currently reading a UX book that is part of a series on the fundamentals of art, design, UX, and digital product design. However, I have a problem with these types of books — they only last for a short while. With digital life moving so fast, many books that were published a few years ago are no longer relevant. While research methods have mostly stayed the same, our project processes, designs, and methodologies have changed.

Recently, while moving to my apartment, I took out some books and wondered whether they had become obsolete or if they were still fundamental to our digital design principles. Most of the things mentioned in these books no longer apply to recent processes, or they may have become common knowledge to us. The book content must be timely as we develop more and more digital products using advanced technologies. (some books become premium because everyone still talks about them.)

The words we use in project processes, the titles we call ourselves, and the tools we use change every few years. What would be the principles here? Are the UX principles blanched out of graphic design, photography, and psychology? Are we all going on the path to neuroscience or behavioural economics?

As a designer who has worked on many projects for creating digital products for many years, learning never ends. I often wonder if a book will inspire me or not, and that thought stops me from clicking the 1-Click button.

In digital product design or user experience design, what would be the fadeless principles?
