Overview
Want an opportunity to think big about products, design user experiences, build product experiments, collaborate with brilliant designers and engineers, and see your product change the lives of millions of people?
This class gives you a practical, hands-on introduction to User Experience (UX) principles and processes - including research, to designing a user interface, to testing interaction design via a prototype, to delivering the product.
Who is this course for?
- Individuals with a background in design, tech, marketing, or related field, who are looking to add skills in their current careers.
- Graphic designers, creative directors, entrepreneurs, project managers, product managers, designers, developers.
- Professionals looking to add Interaction Product Design, UI Design, UX Design, HTML, and CSS as additional skills.
- There are few, if any, industries out there that do NOT have interactive digital products, environments, systems, and services: music, healthcare, transportation, education, entertainment, cable TV, publishing.
What will you learn?
Discovery
Every great product starts with research. You'll learn how to conduct user research interviews, build user personas, and evaluate competing products to determine if the user's experience (UX) with your product meets their needs.
Design
Your product should be visually appealing, but more importantly, it needs to be functional. You'll learn key visual design and interaction design principles and tools that will help you create wireframes for your user interface (UI) and turn them into prototypes for usability testing.
Develop
Once your prototype is ready to become a website or an app, you’ll need to work with developers to build it. By learning HTML, CSS, and responsive design to create a static website, you’ll gain a better understanding of the constraints developers face.
Deliver
Throughout the Discovery, Design, and Develop stages, you'll need to facilitate discussions with important stakeholders. You'll learn to scope projects, defend your design, and work better with developers.
