Graphical User Interface (GUI)

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is a visual medium that enables visual interaction with software applications or electronic devices through elements like icons, buttons, and menus.

A GUI offers an intuitive method of operating computers, smartphones, and applications, eliminating the need for complex coding commands. Designers curate these interfaces to turn complex operations into simple tasks, streamlining user interactions to improve a product’s appearance, functionality, and user-friendliness.

For example, users can navigate webpages, submit forms, adjust settings, and select options using dropdown menus, checkboxes, radio buttons, and sliders.
