Happy to guide your students anytime. **Name:** Ishtiaq Shaheer **Agency:** Desisle / ProdXVerse **Contact:** [Your contact] --- If you want, I can convert this into a **visually structured PPT layout**, slide-by-slide, with design direction too. --- ## 👤 **User** my students doesnt know anything about ui ux and want to just get a grasp of ui ux - so while i am presenting i would like to play a bg video of ui ux examples what shall i do? how shall i create a video? whatever i am playing should be something which they are aleady aware of or daily apps being used by them so they can relate it. help me out what shall i do? or shall i go ahead and create an AI video? --- ## 🤖 **Assistant** You don’t need a complex AI video. You need **relatability**. If they feel “I use this daily,” your workshop connects instantly. So play a background video that shows **UI/UX examples from apps they already use every day.** Your goal is not to impress. Your goal is to make them say — *“Oh, UX is everywhere around me.”* --- ## **Best Direction for the Video** Create a **1–3 minute fast-paced reel-style video** showing: **Screens + Micro Interactions from common apps like:** - WhatsApp chat - Instagram feed, reel swipe, story reply - YouTube home, watch screen, skip button - Swiggy / Zomato ordering flow - Amazon product page & checkout - Google Maps navigation - Paytm/PhonePe UPI payment flow Short text overlays on each: - “Smooth navigation” - “Simple search” - “One-tap payment” - “Clear CTA” - “Familiar patterns” - “UX in everyday apps” No sound needed if it’s a BG loop. Just a soft ambient track. --- ## **How to Create It (simple workflow)** ### **Option A — You create it manually** 1. Screen record yourself using these apps 2. Crop & clean the recordings 3. Add small captions 4. Use background music 5. Export as a looped clip Tools: Canva / CapCut / Premiere Pro / VN --- ### **Option B — You generate an AI video** This works only if you want smooth motion graphics. But it might feel artificial or less relatable. Use AI **only as a supplement**, not the base. If AI — let it generate UI animations showing app flows like: - Search → Select → Checkout - Login → Forgot password → OTP → Success - Home → Profile → Settings But keep real apps too for relatability. --- ## **Hook to Play at the Start (script for your talk)** You can speak while the video runs: > You already know UI/UX. > You use it every day. > When you order food, scroll reels, pay money, book a ride — > UI/UX is guiding you silently. Then pause the video on one frame. Ask them: > What do you like most about this app? > Design or experience? Once they respond, **they're inside the topic.** --- ## Final Recommendation Create **your own real-screen video** of daily apps. Add captions. Make it fast, simple, relatable. AI can support — but relatability wins. If you want, I can write the **exact sequence + captions + timing** for the whole video. --- ## 👤 **User** help me to generate an AI video provide me scripts to geenreate covering every aspect of ui ux like button, feel, flows, ar/vr, etc.. --- ## 🤖 **Assistant** Here is a simple, tight, relatable **AI-video generation script** that will output a full UI/UX showcase — covering **daily apps, flows, button feedback, micro-interactions, UX writing, empty states, accessibility, AR/VR, gestures, and product thinking**. You can paste this into tools like **Runway Gen-2 / Pika Labs / Synthesia / Invideo AI / HeyGen**. Keep visuals fast, clean, energetic. --- # **VIDEO SCRIPT – UI/UX SHOWCASE FOR STUDENTS (2–3 minutes)** *(Use as text input for AI)* --- ### **Scene 1 – UI/UX Exists Everywhere** Visual: Quick montage of real-style UI screens (WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, Swiggy, Amazon, Paytm).

As a guest speaker, I've been called to speak regarding UIX design and its future. So for this event, since I've been called as a guest speaker, I have been given a session and I have some photos and videos to be uploaded as a kind of video, which I'll be doing right now. So I need some way of making it a nice, creative video. So give me some lines, just one-liners, just give me some one-liners, which I can put it on video so that the video looks impactful. Also help me out with a LinkedIn description, very personalized, like how I write my LinkedIn posts, that today I did this today and I'm extremely happy that I've been invited as a speaker to share inside experience for me and for others who invited me and for the event organizers who invited me for this event to share my insights. So it should be very personalized, it should be more touchy so that the post gets more impressions and the first two lines should be very kind of stop-scrolling kind of thing. --- ## 🤖 **Assistant** Here are **tight, impactful one-liners** for your video + a **personal LinkedIn caption** in your tone — simple, human, experience-driven. --- # **ONE-LINERS FOR YOUR VIDEO (use as overlays)** Keep each one short.

Big impact.* - *Design is invisible when done right.* - *Build for humans, not screens.* - *Clarity beats creativity.* - *Great products start with empathy.* - *Future belongs to product thinkers.* - *Design changes how the world works.* Pick 4–6 max and let them fade in/out between your event photos and videos. --- # **LINKEDIN POST (personal, emotional, reflective — in your tone)** **Hook (scroll-stopper, 2 lines):** Some moments remind you why you started. Yesterday was one of those moments for me. **Post:** I had the chance to speak at the *Imagine Next* event as a guest speaker on UI/UX design and the future of this field. And honestly, standing there… sharing what I’ve learned, what I’ve failed at, and what I still believe in — it felt special. I’ve always seen design as more than screens or trendy visuals. It’s about people. It’s about making their day a little easier. A little simpler. A little better. Getting invited to share this with students, professionals, and creators reminded me of how far this journey has come — from starting alone to now being able to contribute back. A huge thank you to the organisers for trusting my voice, and to everyone who attended the session with such curiosity and warmth. Your energy made the room come alive. Moments like these push me to keep learning, keep teaching, and keep building. **CTA:** If you'd like me to share the session recap or slides, happy to send it across. --- If you want, I can also help you with: • A full caption variation • A shorter punchier version • Hashtags (if needed) • A storyboard for the event video Just tell me. --- ## 👤 **User** one liners was more like kind of personalized and not tech --- ## 🤖 **Assistant** Got it — you want **personal, emotional, reflective one-liners** that feel like *you*, not technical design jargon.
