Requirements
This course covers the basics of User Experience Design and the fundamentals of User Interface Design – since it helps tremendously to have a basic understanding of how graphical user interfaces work when designing a User Experience.
We need to understand the people using our products so we start by learning the basics of human-centered design.
We learn how to do Market Research and how we can develop prototype users – so-called Personas to help us further improve our design. We talk about User Stories and User Scenarios which in combination with Use Cases allow us to test our design and discover any possible errors.
Sensible Information architecture is incredibly important which is why we will teach you how you can use techniques such as card sorting to improve the user flow and navigation of your products.
Designing a User Experience is always a process so we’ll look at how we can incorporate Design Thinking and Lean UX into our work, and make sure that our products are as accessible as possible we also cover the most important Usability Heuristics you should pay attention to.
In the user interface design part of the course, we talk about the most important things that influence a user’s experience with our products when it comes to the visual aspect.
You will learn about Color Psychology and what combinations you can use to make your products as appealing as possible. Typography and Motion are powerful tools we have at our disposal that can make our products even more intuitive to use.
All of this and much more will be covered in this course and if you want to learn the fundamentals of modern user experience, interaction, and interface design – then you’ve found the right course.
