This guided project "Material Design 3 for Beginners : Customizing Components" is for UX/UI designers looking to enhance their skills in modern design principles. In this 1-hour long project-based course, you will learn core principles of Material Design 3, the structure and components of the Material Design 3 design system as a design system and learning where and how to locate the components you need from the ready-to-use design system. Finally, you will learn how to customize versatile buttons, flexible cards, and efficient tabs. To achieve this, we will work through a series of hands-on exercises that guide you in building and implementing these components step-by-step to create a profile page for an app. This project provides you with practical experience, allowing you to apply what you have learned directly to your projects. By customizing these key components, you will be able to create cohesive and simple user interfaces that enhance the user experience. To be successful in this project, you will need a basic understanding of UX/UI design principles and familiarity with Figma's layers, properties and tools. .
