The UI/UX Design Specialization from California Institute of the Arts offers a design-centric approach to user interface and user experience design. This four-course sequence provides comprehensive instruction centered around a visual communications perspective, ideal for individuals with experience in graphic or visual design and those looking to build their skill set in UI or UX for app and web design.
Module 1: Visual Elements of User Interface Design focuses on the essential elements of clear, consistent, and intuitive UI design. Learners will acquire the skills to articulate meaning using color, type, and imagery, and apply these skills to the design of a static screen-based interface.
Module 2: UX Design Fundamentals delves into organizing and structuring content to create a user experience, guiding learners through a condensed process for developing robust UI/UX design. Through hands-on activities, participants will produce a digital prototype for a multi-screen app.
Module 3: Web Design: Strategy and Information Architecture emphasizes early UX challenges, including research, planning, and understanding the user. Learners will develop a comprehensive plan for a complex website, defining the strategy, scope, and information architecture.
Module 4: Web Design: Wireframes to Prototypes focuses on applying early UX research to actual user interfaces, covering the creation of wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and clickable prototypes. Participants will explore responsive web design, mobile web challenges, and web typography.
