TEACHING UX DESIGN AT
Course overview
Are your designs stuck in 2002?
Mine were.
20 years ago, websites and apps looked a lot different. For the most part, the interactions were pretty simple and static. Click a link --> go to a new screen.
Modern apps and websites are dynamic. They’re packed with animations, movement, micro-interactions, and transitions to create a smooth, seamless experience.
As designers, we can’t create great experiences if we’re limited to static screens and basic prototyping tools.
In this course, we’ll learn the principles, tools, and skills to bring your designs to life. Get hands-on experience creating beautiful, seamless, and dynamic prototypes that are sure to stand out.
