User Interface Design is a mindset and developmental process which involves creating user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, digital interfaces.

In this course, you will gain practical UI skills and knowledge in real-world contexts. You will learn about design thinking and human-centred design principles and apply them to a digital project. Throughout the course, you will work with industry-standard tools like Figma to craft exceptional user interfaces that meet users' expectations. Additionally, you will design developer-ready interfaces and use usability testing to refine and improve your UI designs.

Transcript

I think UI design is really exciting because it moves so fast and it's something that a lot of people deal with every day. For a lot of people all day it's a lot more than just a coat of paint over your interface - it's how you make the user feel when they enter to the website or app. It's also about usability too these days two-year-olds can just interact with iPads intuitively without even being told what or where to go. It's a very exciting time to be in this industry because the possibilities are endless.

Augmented reality I think will be the next big leap that UI takes and I want to be a part of something it's moving so quickly and continue to have an impact in a positive way in people's lives there's nothing more exciting
