By the end of this course, you will be able to describe the key formal elements of clear, consistent, and intuitive UI design, and apply your learned skills to the design of a static screen-based interface. Through a series of lectures and visual exercises, you will focus on the many individual elements and components that make up the skillset of an interface designer. Learning how to design and articulate meaning using color, type, and imagery is essential to making interfaces function clearly and seamlessly. This design-centric course examines the broad question of what an interface is and what role a designer plays in creating a user interface.

Details are available in Course 3 of the Specialization, Web Design: Strategy and Information Architecture. Learners enrolled in the UI/UX Design Specialization are eligible for an extended free trial (1 month) of a full product suite of UX tools from Optimal Workshop. User interface and user experience design is a high-demand field, but the skills and knowledge you will learn in this Specialization are applicable to a wide variety of careers, from marketing to web design to human-computer interaction.

You’ll learn current best practices and conventions in UX design and apply them to create effective and compelling screen-based experiences for websites or apps. In this sequence of four courses, you will summarize and demonstrate all stages of the UI/UX development process, from user research to defining a project’s strategy, scope, and information architecture, to developing sitemaps and wireframes.

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.
