Throughout the course, let’s work together in a real-life freelance project I’m working on that requires a fresh website and mobile app interface. A perfect preparation for dealing with real world projects as you move towards a UX/UI career path.

First, we will discuss the differences between UX and UI Design. We will look at what this real-world project is, then tackle low-fidelity wireframes and how to use existing UI design kits.

Let’s go over all the essential tools in creating excellent wireframes, including: type, colours, icons, Lorem ipsum, artboards, prototyping, models and popups, symbols and repeat grids. We will even make use of the new prototyping app so you can experience it on your mobile device.

Maximise your UX Design workflow by utilising other software such as Photoshop and Illustrator. And I’ll be teaching you just that, by making use of both to effectively boost your XD productivity.

We will also discuss one of the awesome new features of XD which is micro-interactions, and learn how to use them to grow icons and scenes. This is one of the fields of web design that’s growing and being adopted rapidly, it’s always better not to miss out on learning it early.

The two class projects for you to complete will help develop your skills and will add an impressive skill on your portfolio.
