The course is a hands-on, project-based experience that simulates the working designer’s process. You will start with becoming industry-standard-competent in software, in this case, mastering Figma to design visual UI and interactive prototypes. UX foundations are addressed via modules on heuristic evaluation, competitive analysis, and user interview methodologies, culminating in the development of personas and journey maps. The UI foundations part gives a solid background in visual design, such as color theory, typography, grid layout, and an overview of popular UI patterns and web and mobile design trends. Much of the course is spent on prototyping and user testing, where you’ll learn testing methods, implement feedback,, and mature your designs into a polished, final case study for your portfolio. The course concludes with business-oriented schooling in the design business, creating a portfolio website, and getting ready for jobs so you’re able to clearly present your work to prospective employers. Through one-on-one mentoring and critiques, you will receive individualized support in refining your projects and becoming job-ready in the competitive field of UX/UI design.
