Learn how to design a user interface (UI) by learning how people understand and make decisions when using screen-based interfaces, and how to respond to this when making your own design decisions. In this course you put everything you learn into practice by creating your own interface design in professional design software (Figma).
This practical course focuses on designing user interfaces for screens. We cover common behaviour patterns when people are trying to understand a user interface presented on a screen, and how this affects their decision making. We look at how to design for different form factors and input modes, and cover the basics of information architecture, screen layout, responsive design, using design libraries, and selecting UI components. We also go over how to use screen design software, and throughout the day you will put everything you learn into practice by designing your own user interface using professional design software (Figma). Please note that this is a design course, not a coding course.
