As the concept of "design" evolves, the field of user experience and user interface design (UI/UX) grows in complexity. This introductory course begins with the basics by using the industry-standard deliverables as a springboard to examine the central ideas and crucial elements needed for successful design initiatives. Students will complete a project of their choosing while learning and creating deliverables. An emphasis will be placed on approaching UI and UX through an empathetic lens. By the end of the course, students will have a foundational knowledge of UI/UX, our design process, and the principles and theories that drive our decisions.
NOTE: All students with an active registration in this course will be given free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud. This course is fully online and offered through a combination of regularly scheduled sessions during the listed course hours, as well as asynchronous material that may include prerecorded lectures and media, and interactive discussions.
