Course Description
This course teaches how information obtained from the clients, sales, and marketing is used to design and develop compelling visual experience Web sites for multiple platforms, including mobile devices, tablets, and desktops. The students will learn more about wireframes, color schemes, tones, design templates, formatting, and typography. This course builds upon the students’ abilities to implement user analysis techniques, usability concepts, usability testing procedures and the vital role of testing to publish and maintain a Web site. The UI/UX Design Specialization brings a design-centric approach to user interface and user experience design, and offers practical, skill-based instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, rather than on one focused on marketing or programming alone.
